- Treatment of Proximal Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysms by Intrasaccular Flow Disruption: A Multicenter Experience
WEB treatment of proximal PICA aneurysms is feasible with a reasonable safety and efficacy profile.
- ADC Level is Related to DWI Reversal in Patients Undergoing Mechanical Thrombectomy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
In acute ischemic stroke, the ADC value is independently associated with DWI reversal. Lesions with a mean ADC of ≥ 520 x 10-6 mm2/s are salvageable by mechanical thrombectomy, and DWI reversal areas regain neurologic function. The ADC value is easily assessed and is a useful tool to predict viable lesions.
- Angiographically Occult Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Yield of Repeat Angiography, Influence of Initial CT Bleed Pattern, and Sources of Diagnostic Error in 242 Consecutive Patients
Atypical aneurysms and small arteriovenous shunts are important causes of SAH negative findings on angiography. Improving DSA technique can modestly reduce the need for repeat DSA; however, a small fraction of SAH sources remain occult despite adequate technique. These findings support the practice of repeating DSA in patients with a nonperimesencephalic SAH pattern.
