Patients suffering from malignant brain tumors are burdened with a grim prognosis. The blood brain barrier is considered a primary obstacle in therapeutic drug delivery to the brain. Intra-arterial ...
Background The Derivo Embolization Device (DED) is a novel flow diverter stent that provides increased x-ray visibility, an improved delivery system, and potentially reduced thrombogenicity. The ...
Background Postinterventional cerebral hyperdensities (PCHDs) are a common finding after endovascular stroke treatment. There is uncertainty about the extent to which PCHDs correspond to hemorrhage or ...
Background Translational research on clot composition may be advanced by the use of clot analogs for the preclinical evaluation of mechanical thrombectomy devices. This work describes a novel set of ...
Background First pass effect (FPE) in mechanical thrombectomy is thought to be associated with good clinical outcomes. Objective To determine FPE rates as a function of thrombectomy technique and to ...

Background Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are vascular dilations on cerebral vessels that affect between 1%–5% of the general population, and can cause life-threatening intracranial hemorrhage when ...
Objective Our study aims to introduce a novel interventional treatment strategy for the management of chronic occlusion of the internal carotid artery (CO-ICA) using a specially designed thrombectomy ...
Background and purpose The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the pipeline endovascular device for the treatment of anterior circulation aneurysms at the level of the circle ...
Background and purpose The Raymond–Roy grading scale is used for aneurysm coiling with only limited data on its validity. The scale was developed based on the extent of initial aneurysm occlusion from ...
