Background and Purpose— Endovascular strategies provide unique opportunity to correlate
angiographic measures of collateral circulation at the time of endovascular therapy. We …

Background and Purpose— Ultrasound transiently expands perflutren-lipid microspheres (μS),
transmitting energy momentum to surrounding fluids. We report a pilot safety/feasibility …

… TCD and CT angiography studies were reviewed and adjudicated by central readers (ZG,
RM, and AMD) who were unaware of the patients' clinical course. In MCA strokes, …

Background A better understanding of real‐world practice patterns in the endovascular
treatment for large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke is needed. Here, we report the …

Background and Purpose— The optimal approach for acute ischemic stroke patients who do
not respond to intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV rt-PA) is uncertain. …

Background The benefit of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) in
acute stroke is linked to clot lysis and artery recanalization. Argatroban is a direct thrombin …

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: We describe the first documented endovascular treatment
of proximal intracranial mycotic aneurysms by a self-expanding, flexible, dedicated, …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In centers performing endovascular treatment for patients
with AIS, there is variability in placing patients under general anesthesia. Nonanesthetized …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Reteplase (RP) and urokinase (UK) are being used “off-label”
to treat acute ischemic stroke. The safety and efficacy of intra-arterial RP or UK in the …

BACKGROUND: Endovascular therapy (ET) of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is
equivalent to carotid endarterectomy for stroke prevention; however, patients with ICA occlusion …
