Background: There are limited therapeutic options in cases of failed reperfusion (modified thrombolysis cerebral infarction [mTICI] score < 2b) after stent-retriever and/or aspiration based endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. Despite the absence data supporting its use, rescue therapy (balloon angioplasty stent implantation) is often utilized such cases. Studies to large vessel occlusions, while outcomes and complications medium/distal occlusions (MDVOs) have not been...
Vessel perforation during thrombectomy is a severe complication and hypothesized to be more frequent medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) thrombectomy. The aim of this study was compare the incidence outcome patients with MeVO large (LVO) report on procedural steps that led perforation.
Background: There are limited therapy options in case of failed reperfusion after stent-retriever and/or aspiration based endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. Despite the absence data supporting its use, rescue angioplasty (RA; with or without stent implantation) is often utilized such cases. Studies to large vessel occlusions, while outcomes and complications RA medium/distal occlusions (MDVOs) have not been reported. This study aims report MDVO stroke patients. Methods:...
CTP has been validated for stroke due to large vessel occlusion, but not medium or distal occlusions (MDVO). The aim of this study was evaluate discrepancy 2 widely used postprocessing tools in patients with medium/distal occlusion (MDVO) stroke. This retrospective single-center cohort comprised data sets acute isolated MDVO and disabling included Syngo.via RapidAI. Perfusion lesions were segmented compared regard volume spatial distribution the perfusion abnormalities. For each patient,...
To compare the segmentation and detection performance of a deep learning model trained on database human-labeled clinical stroke lesions diffusion-weighted (DW) images to same enhanced with synthetic lesions.In this institutional review board-approved study, 962 cases (mean patient age ± standard deviation, 65 years 17; 255 male patients; 449 scans DW positive lesions) normal 2027 patients age, 38 24; 1088 female patients) were used. Brain volumes produced by warping relative signal increase...
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the safety and outcome of image-guided embolotherapy extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) primarily affecting face. Materials Methods A multicenter cohort 28 patients presenting with AVMs face was retrospectively investigated. Fifty embolotherapies were performed, mostly using ethylene–vinyl alcohol copolymer-based embolic agents. Clinical imaging findings assessed to response during follow-up (symptom-free, partial relief symptoms, no improvement,...
Purpose Holmium-166 has emerged as a promising option for selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT) hepatic malignancies, but data on routine clinical use are lacking. The purpose of this study was to describe the safety and effectiveness SIRT in real-world practice through retrospective analysis multicenter registry. Methods Retrospective conducted procedures performed between July 15, 2019, 2021, across seven European centers. Treatment planning, treatment realization post-treatment follow-up...
To evaluate the safety and outcome of image-guided sclerotherapy for treating venous malformations (VMs) face.A multicenter cohort 68 patients with VMs primarily affecting face was retrospectively investigated. In total, 142 sclerotherapies were performed using gelified ethanol and/or polidocanol. Clinical imaging findings assessed to clinical response, lesion size reduction, complication rates. Sub-analyses rates depending on type injected volume sclerosant as well pediatric versus adult...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Infarct volume in acute ischemic stroke is an important prognostic marker and determines endovascular treatment decisions. This study evaluates the magnitude potential clinical impact of error related to partial effects infarct measurement on diffusion-weighted MR imaging explores how increasing spatial resolution could reduce this error. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> Diffusion-weighted 393 patients with stroke, whom 56 had anterior circulation large-vessel...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infection which can affect the central nervous system. In this study, we sought to investigate associations between neuroimaging findings with clinical, demographic, blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) parameters, pre-existing conditions severity of acute COVID-19.Retrospective multicenter data retrieval from 10 university medical centers in Germany, Switzerland Austria February 2020 September 2021. We included patients COVID-19, neurological...
Introduction: Thrombectomy complications remain poorly explored. This study aims to characterize periprocedural intracranial vessel perforation including the effect of thrombolysis on patient outcomes. Patients and methods: In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, consecutive patients with during thrombectomy between January 2015 April 2023 were included. Vessel was defined as active extravasation digital subtraction angiography. The primary outcome modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90...
Purpose: To develop an open-source nnU-Net-based AI model for combined detection and segmentation of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UICA) in 3D TOF-MRI, compare models trained on datasets with aneurysm-like differential diagnoses. Methods: This retrospective study (2020-2023) included 385 anonymized TOF-MRI images from 364 patients (mean age 59 years, 60% female) at multiple centers plus 113 subjects the ADAM challenge. Images featured untreated or possible UICAs Four distinct training...
To assess whether high temporal/spatial resolution GRASP MRI acquired during routine clinical imaging can identify several degrees of renal function impairment referenced against dynamic scintigraphy.This retrospective study consists method development and verification parts. During development, patients subject to using gadoterate meglumine post-contrast technique (TR/TE 3.3/1.6 ms; FoV320 × 320 mm; FA12°; Voxel1.1 1.1x2.5 mm) were matched into four equally-sized groups...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Rescue stenting is used more and in stroke cases with large-vessel-occlusion or medium-vessel-occlusion refractory to mechanical thrombectomy. The pEGASUS-stent(Phenox) represents a device which equipped hydrophilic polymer coating(HPC) antithrombogenic properties. coating allows for implantation under single antiplatelet therapy, thus possibly reducing the risk of bleeding acute cases. <h3>Case History</h3> A 79-year-old woman was rushed emergency room due left-sided...
<h3>Case report</h3> A 76-years old male patient presented 5 years after carotid stenting with ipsilateral recurrent high-grade stenosis, occlusion of the contralateral ICA and bilateral borderzone infarcts. progressive cuff calcification was identified compression distal stent (see figure 1). Due to previous neck radiation surgery deemed contraindicated endovascular therapy chosen. Balloon angioplasty repeat were performed. However, postinterventional sonography revealed a persisting...
<h3></h3> We report our first experience using the CREDO<sup>®</sup> heal stent to manage a subacute stroke due an intracranial in-stent thrombosis. After withdrawing his anticoagulation three days ago, 50-year-old man presented with severe, right-sided hemiparesis and motor aphasia (NIHSS 14). Half year patient had similar symptoms occlusion of M1 segment MCA that was treated by rescue stenting after failed mechanical thrombectomy. Initial imaging showed mismatch caused thrombosis in...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Vessel perforation during thrombectomy is a severe complication and hypothesized to be more frequent MeVO compared LVO thrombectomy. <h3>Aim of the study</h3> To compare incidence outcome patients with report on procedural steps that led perforation. <h3>Methods</h3> In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, data consecutive vessel between January 01, 2015 September 30, 2022 were collected.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in young patients is rare and often associated with vascular malformations, drug abuse, or genetic conditions. Early diagnosis treatment are critical because of the potential risk rebleeding long-term consequences.

Imaging revealed left middle temporal gyrus,...
A 73-year-old woman with exertional dyspnoea without retrosternal pain was referred for cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA). An anomaly of the coronary artery anatomy detected separate ostia left anterior descending (LAD) and circumflex (LCX) from sinus Valsalva (Figures 1 2, Supplementary material online, Figure S1, Videos 2). The LCX ostium located to LAD a proximal crossing identified epicardial superior LCX. Immediately distal crossing, septal branch separated Since CCTA scan...
