Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) increases the risk of cerebrovascular events due to vascular changes, resulting in the weakening of the vessel walls. Moreover, patients with SLE have more incidence of arterial lesions such as dissections. Internal carotid dissection (ICA) is an infrequent cause of ischemic stroke, representing 2% of all ischemic...

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) make a unique group of strokes. Unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) are among the medications used for preventing blood coagulation. This study was carried out aiming at analyzing the cost effectiveness of LMWH versus UFH in hospitalized patients with stroke due to AF with resp...

Shared decision-making, when physicians and patients collaborate and agree on health care decisions, is a key tenant of patient-centered care. Choice of access site for neurovascular procedures is rarely a shared decision point between physicians and patients. We present our initial evaluation of patient preference for radial over femoral access fo...
