Ischemic stroke is a severe cerebrovascular disease with high mortality and morbidity. In
recent years, reperfusion treatments based on thrombolytic and thrombectomy are major …

Objectives Spontaneous recanalization of a chronic total occlusion of the extra-cranial
internal carotid artery is an under-reported clinical entity. This paper reviews the different …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to verify the value of collateral circulation and B-type
natriuretic peptide (BNP) in predicting clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischemic …

At present, there is limited understanding of chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the internal
carotid artery (ICA). Therefore, the present report collected related cases from PubMed and …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endovascular recanalization has been attempted in
patients with symptomatic chronic ICA occlusion, however, the heterogeneity of …

(1) Background: Carotid artery occlusion (CAO) in population studies has a reported
prevalence of about 6 per 100,000 people; however, the data may be underestimated. CAO …

Background and Objectives. Strokes resulting from atrial fibrillation (AF) increase with age.
The relationship between N-terminal-(NT-) prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT …

Objective: Although the benefits of good collateral circulation on infarct volume and
outcomes have been confirmed in previous studies, few studies have investigated the …

Abstract Background and Purpose Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EVMT) shows
significant promise in improving acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with proximal artery occlusion …

Objective To investigate the impact of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)
on CTP infarct core volume and poor 90-day functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke …
