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...

Background Intrasaccular devices are increasingly used in endovascular therapy of intracranial aneurysms, particular wide-necked and ruptured aneurysms. The Trenza Embolization Device (TED) is an innovative intrasaccular device for medium- to large-sized Currently, literature about the TED scarce. Methods In eight participating European centers, 25 aneurysms (3 ruptured) patients (18 females, mean age 62.4 years) treated with outside currently recruiting prospective, post-market, multicenter...

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:...
