Arterial recanalization to restore the blood supply and limit the brain damage is the primary
goal in the management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Since the publication of pivotal …

Despite major advances in prevention, ischaemic stroke remains one of the leading causes
of death and disability worldwide. After centuries of nihilism and decades of failed …

Background Malignant brain edema (MBE) is a devastating complication in ischemic stroke.
Data on MBE in patients who have had mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are relatively scarce …

The cerebral arterial network covering the brain cortex has multiscale anastomosis
structures with sparse intermediate anastomoses (O [102] μm in diameter) and dense pial …

Our perspective on anatomy frequently depends on how this anatomy is utilized in clinical
practice, and by which methods knowledge is acquired. The thrombectomy revolution, of …

Circulation through cerebral collaterals can maintain tissue viability until reperfusion is
achieved. However, collateral circulation is time limited, and failure of collaterals is …

Background: This study was to evaluate the correlation of the hypoperfusion intensity ratio
(HIR) with the collateral score from multiphase computed tomography angiography (mCTA) …

Background In anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the extended time
window, the guidelines recommend advanced imaging (ADVI) to select patients for …

The effectiveness of various stroke treatments depends on the anatomical variability of the
cerebral vasculature, particularly the collateral blood vessel network. Collaterals at the level …

Purpose Sufficient collateral blood supply is crucial for favorable outcomes with
endovascular treatment. The current practice of collateral scoring relies on visual inspection …
