Acute basilar artery occlusion is a serious condition which often results in severe disability or death. 1,2 Several series have suggested that local intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT) improves basilar ...

Objective Acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is a catastrophe with high mortality and disability. Randomized controlled trial (RCT) data supporting/refuting reperfusion treatment are sparse in acute ...

Conclusions— In acute MCA occlusion, penumbra is consistently present within a relatively narrow range, despite great variability in the size of core. This may explain why the core and not the ...

The neurosonology in the Acute Ischemic Stroke study has recently showed the relevance of the ultra-early DS in predicting outcome at 90 days after moderate to severe hemispheric AIS. 29 Previous ...

When compared with cardiorespiratory complications, gastrointestinal complications are relatively uncommon. 2 Among the reported complications are acute oesophageal necrosis, 3 4 gastric perforation, ...

During the operation, a 4F vertebral arterial catheter was used together with the guidewire of 0.035 inch and 0.018 inch through the occlusion segment, and the GW-0.018 inch guidewire was exchanged, ...

Figure 4. Digital subtraction angiography with early and late phase demonstrating (A) left subclavian artery occlusion with (B) retrograde vertebral filling of proximal subclavian artery.

The management of acute limb ischemia requires a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the arterial occlusion and the open surgical and percutaneous options for restoring limb perfusion.

This document aims to provide an update on indications for mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) from emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO) in the anterior circulation. This reflects ...

Most often seen in older people with atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), renal artery stenosis can worsen over time, often leading to hypertension (high blood pressure) and kidney damage.
