Traumatic cerebrovascular injuries following blunt or penetrating trauma are common and carry a high risk of permanent disability or death. Proper screening, diagnosis, and treatment of these lesions is essential to improve patient outcomes. Advances in imaging continue to improve the accuracy of non-invasive diagnosis of these injuries while new c...

Since female neurointerventionalists make up a minority of the work force, the contributions this group has made to academic scholarship should be highlighted. The main objective of this project was to identify all of the recent papers published in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery (JNIS) by female first authors or last authors over 5 year...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the ipsilateral lower extremity (ILE) outcomes of patients who underwent bedside angiography via the distal perfusion catheter while on femoral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). This is a retrospective analysis of all patients placed on VA ECMO at a single center from January 2017 to ...

Massive arterioportal fistula (APF) is naturally irreversible and can induce portal hypertension and portal vein thrombosis (PVT), worsening survival outcomes. To evaluate the clinical course and details of transarterial embolization (TAE) procedures for massive APF. This retrospective single-center observational study evaluated the time until embo...

Carotid webs (CaWs) are associated with ischemic strokes in younger patients without degrees of stenosis that are traditionally considered clinically significant. To compare the hemodynamic parameters in the internal carotid artery (ICA) bulbar segment in patients with CaW with those in patients with atherosclerotic lesions using time-density curve...

Although reference vessel diameter (RVD) is conveniently measured by angiography during femoropopliteal (FP) endovascular therapy (EVT) in clinical practice, angiography will potentially underestimate RVD. On the other hand, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can measure RVD precisely. The aim of this study was to reveal the difference between angiogr...

Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) draining into an isolated sinus segment constitute a specific entity within the spectrum of cranial dural AV shunts, with under-reporting of their optimal treatment. To describe the multimodal treatment approach to isolated sinus DAVFs in a large single-center cohort. Retrospective analysis of adult...

Survival for glioblastoma remains very poor despite decades of research, with a 5-year survival of only 5%. The technological improvements that have revolutionized treatment of ischemic stroke and brain aneurysms have great potential in providing more precise and selective delivery of cancer therapeutic agents to brain tumors. We describe for the f...

The inferior vena cava (IVC) may develop abnormally because of its complex embryogenesis. An understanding of congenital variants such as duplication of the IVC is essential for clinical interventions, particularly those performed by surgeons and radiologists. We herein describe five patients who were diagnosed with duplication of the IVC by comput...

The rabbit VX2 is a large animal model of cancer used for decades by interventional radiologists to demonstrate the efficacy of various locoregional treatments against liver tumors. What do we know about this tumor in the new era of targeted therapy and immune-oncology? The present paper describes the current knowledge on the clinics, biology, hist...
