Objective To summarize the current literature regarding the initial hospital management of
patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) secondary to emergent large vessel occlusion …

Arterial collateralization, as determined by leptomeningeal anastomoses or pial collateral
vessels, is a well‐established vital player in cerebral blood flow restoration and neurological …

Blood supply to the brain is secured by an extensive collateral circulation system, which can
be divided into primary routes, ie, the Circle of Willis, and secondary routes, eg, collaterals …

Importance When transferred from a referring hospital (RH) to a thrombectomy-capable
stroke center (TCSC), patients with initially favorable imaging profiles (Alberta Stroke …

Background Favorable imaging profile according to the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT
Score (ASPECTS) on non-contrast head CT is a key criterion for the selection of patients …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Vessel imaging in acute ischemic stroke is essential to
select patients with large-vessel occlusion for mechanical thrombectomy. Our aim was to …

Leptomeningeal anastomoses or pial collateral vessels play a critical role in cerebral blood
flow (CBF) restoration following ischemic stroke. The magnitude of this adaptive response is …

Background Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a common neurological event that causes
varying degrees of disability. AIS outcome varies considerably, from complete recovery to …

Background and aims Statin pretreatment (SP) is associated with improved outcomes in
acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Collateral circulation status and final infarct volume …

Background and purpose To determine the influence of the cerebral small vessel disease
(SVD) burden on collateral recruitment in patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy …
