BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: PTA effectively treats vasospasm and arterial disease in
peripheral, coronary, and large proximal cerebral vessels but rarely reaches small vessels …

Background and Purpose—Although self-expanding intracranial microstents have been
used to treat acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke, there are disadvantages associated …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to prospectively assess the
feasibility, safety, and efficacy of balloon disruption of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) by …

A significant proportion of patients with infarcts from large-vessel lesions have shown a poor
response to systemic thrombolysis. Stents have been used to recanalize occluded or …

Introduction Investigation into pharmacological and mechanical means of improving
recanalization rates by intraarterial therapy has led to technological development …

We report a case of an acute middle cerebral artery (M2 segment) occlusion that was
refractory to intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t‐PA), thrombectomy with the …

Objective The standard rescue modality for patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis
after failed mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is not well established. We evaluated the safety …

Background and Purpose: Different strategies have been employed to recanalize acutely
occluded middle cerebral and internal carotid arteries (ICA) in the setting of acute stroke …

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Acute ischemic stroke is the third leading cause of death
in the United States. For patients with NIHSS scores> 10 and evaluated within 6 hours, intra …

Introduction The use of coronary balloons in the cerebral vasculature is limited due to their
poor trackability and increased risk of vessel injury. We report our experience using more …
