BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In acute ischemic stroke, the negative susceptibility vessel
sign on T2*-weighted images traditionally highlights fibrin-rich clots, which are particularly …

Introduction: Susceptibility-Eeighted Imaging (SWI) enables visualization of thrombotic
material in acute ischemic stroke. We analyzed the association between thrombus length on …

Abstract Background and Purpose Randomized controlled trials have challenged the
assumption that reperfusion success after mechanical thrombectomy varies depending on …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The susceptibility vessel sign on MR imaging has been
reported to indicate acute occlusion from erythrocyte-rich thrombus. The purpose of this …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Obtaining information on invisible vasculature distal to the
occlusion site helps to deploy a stent retriever safely during mechanical thrombectomy for …

Background Angioplasty and/or stenting is a rescue therapy for mechanical thrombectomy
(MT) in acute intracranial large vessel occlusion. This study was undertaken to determine …

Objectives The aim was to investigate whether the angiographic demonstration of a cutoff
sign on the initial angiogram could predict recanalization and prognosis in acute ischemic …

Background Successful reperfusion determines the treatment effect of endovascular
thrombectomy. We evaluated stent-retriever characteristics and their relation to reperfusion …

Background Mechanical thrombectomy is now standard of care for treatment of acute
ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion in the setting of high NIHSS. We …

Background and purpose Recent studies suggest that thrombus imaging characteristics
such as Hounsfield unit (HU) and perviousness assessed on noncontrast computed …
