Aspiration Catheter Design Impacts Combined Approach Mechanical Thrombectomy in Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Stroke

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, May 2, 2025 | Neuroimaging

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Large-bore aspiration catheters (LBACs) are used for thrombectomy in large vessel occlusion (LVO), either as a standalone direct aspiration first-pass technique or combined with a stent retriever (ASR). LBAC design may influence ASR...

Modified Treatment in Brain Ischemia 2b Stopped or Continued After First‐Pass Mechanical Thrombectomy for M1 Occlusions

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Saturday, April 26, 2025 | Neuroimaging

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose The superiority of achieving modified Treatment in Cerebral Ischemia (mTICI) from multiple passes versus mTICI 2b from a single pass remains uncertain. We aimed to assess whether additional passes in M1 occlusion patients with a...

Clinical Outcomes and Complications of Carotid Artery Stenting With or Without Pre‐Stent and Post‐Stent Balloon Angioplasty

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Wednesday, April 23, 2025 | Neuroimaging

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Carotid artery stenting is a well-established method for treating carotid artery stenosis; however, there are conflicting data on prestenting versus post-stenting balloon angioplasty. Our study aims to understand the risk and safety of...

Phosphotungstic Acid Staining to Visualize the Vagus Nerve Perineurium Using Micro‐CT

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Thursday, April 10, 2025 | Neuroimaging

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Peripheral nerve stimulation is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treating various disorders, but it is often limited by side effects, highlighting the need for a clear understanding of fascicular and fiber...

Brain Volume Loss After Stereotactic Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy in Patients With Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Tuesday, April 8, 2025 | Neuroimaging

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common form of focal epilepsy. MR-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) of the amygdalohippocampal complex has become an established therapy option in case of drug resistance. Long-term...

Parenchymal Hematoma After Endovascular Thrombectomy Is Associated With Pretreatment Basal Ganglia Infarct Volume

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, March 28, 2025 | Neuroimaging

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Parenchymal hematomas (PHs) represent an important complication in ischemic stroke after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), but the risk factors are incompletely understood. Neuroimaging data preintervention, such as infarct topography,...
