Transcranial Doppler Monitoring of the Wolf Procedure Versus Conventional Ablation to Treat Atrial Fibrillation

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, May 23, 2025 | Neuroimaging

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Transfemoral radiofrequency ablation (tfRFA) is the most performed procedure to address atrial fibrillation (AF); however, tfRFA produces thousands of microemboli that can reach major cerebral arteries and cause silent ischemic lesions....

Single‐ and Multiphase CT Angiography Is Associated With Digital Subtraction Angiography Collateral Score ≥3

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Thursday, May 15, 2025 | Neuroimaging

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Collateral status is an important predictor of reperfusion and mortality in patients with large vessel anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We assess the utility of multiphase computed tomography angiography (CTA) derived...

T1‐Dark Rim as a Marker of New and Chronic Active Multiple Sclerosis Lesions: A Serial Study With Frequent 7T MRI

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Wednesday, May 14, 2025 | Neuroimaging

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Chronic active multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions represent a particularly destructive subset of lesions on pathology. However, their imaging correlates, including paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) detected on susceptibility-weighted...

Safety/Efficacy of a Pusher, Thermal Detachment Coil for Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms: A Multicenter Real‐World Study

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Saturday, May 10, 2025 | Neuroimaging

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Optima coils are a new type of embolic coils with complex and WAVE shape properties and variable degrees of softness. In patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms, we examined the safety (periprocedural complications) and efficacy...

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...
