Core overestimation of CT perfusion in patients with cardiac insufficiency who had a stroke is mediated by impaired collaterals
Conclusions LVSD increased the possibility of ischemic core overestimation on baseline CTP, partly due to impaired collateral status, and a stricter rCBF threshold should be considered. (Source: Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery)

Management of basilar fenestration aneurysms: a systematic review with an illustrative case report
Conclusion BAFAs are often symptomatic; thus, treatment is challenging. By the 2000s, treatment had moved from microsurgical to endovascular modalities, with good clinical and angiographic outcomes. (Source: Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery)

Characterization of length of stay after minimally invasive endoscopic intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation
Conclusions We present factors associated with prolonged LOS, which in turn was associated with poor long-term outcomes. Factors associated with LOS may help to inform patient and clinician expectations of recovery, guide protocols for clinical trials, and select suitable populations for minimally invasive endoscopic evacuation.

Magnetic resonance perfusion imaging findings following flow diversion in patients with complex middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysms: a single-center analysis regarding the jailed cortical branches
Conclusions Flow diversion treatment of complex bifurcation aneurysms can be effective and safe. MRP examination may reveal perfusion changes in the territory vascularized via a jailed branch, and these changes are rarely accompanied by clinical findings.

The perils and promises of generative artificial intelligence in neurointerventional surgery
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) holds great promise in neurointerventional surgery by providing clinicians with powerful tools for improving surgical precision, accuracy of diagnoses, and treatment planning. However, potential perils include biases or inaccuracies in the data used to train the algorithms, over-reliance on generative AI without human oversight, patient privacy concerns, and ethical implications of using AI in medical decision-making. Careful regulation and oversight are needed to ensure that the promises of generative AI in neurointerventional surgery are realized while minimizing its potential peri...

Time to treat the climate and nature crisis as one indivisible global health emergency
Over 200 health journals call on the United Nations (UN), political leaders and health professionals to recognise that climate change and biodiversity loss are one indivisible crisis and must be tackled together to preserve health and avoid catastrophe. This overall environmental crisis is now so severe as to be a global health emergency. The world is currently responding to the climate crisis and the nature crisis as if they were separate challenges. This is a dangerous mistake. The 28th Conference of the Parties (COP) on climate change is about to be held in Dubai while the 16th COP on biodiversity is due to be held in T...

Triage of Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion (ELVO) patients directly to Comprehensive Stroke Centers (CSCs) is good practice and benefits patients in Urban and Suburban population Centers - New insights from the TRIAGE-STROKE and RACECAT studies
In 2013, three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the interventional management of stroke with intravenous (IV) thrombolytic therapy were simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.1–3 These trials showed neither benefit nor harm associated with endovascular stroke therapies and the widespread interpretation of their collective results can be summarized with the blanket statement that "thrombectomy is not effective for the treatment of stroke". However, the SWIFT and TREVO studies (published in 2012) had clearly demonstrated that the interventional approaches used in the three RCTs wer...

Response to Correspondence on "Percutaneous cervical sympathetic block to treat cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia: a review of the evidence" by AL McLean
We thank Dr McLean for their comments1 regarding our recent manuscript "Percutaneous cervical sympathetic block to treat cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia: a review of the evidence".2 We agree that the literature in this field is heterogenous with respect to type, dose, volume of local anesthetic, and method of delivery used for cervical sympathetic block (CSB). To highlight this heterogeneity, we specifically mentioned these limitations in our manuscript in the paragraph ‘Drug type, drug volume and drug delivery modality’. Such heterogeneity makes it difficult to draw conclusions on the preferre...

Correspondence on 'Percutaneous cervical sympathetic block to treat cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia: a review of the evidence' by Bombardieri et al
I would like to offer comment on the recent paper ‘Cervical sympathetic block for the treatment of vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: a systematic review’ by Bombardieri et al.1 This paper provides an overview of the current literature on cervical sympathetic block (CSB) as a treatment for vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in patients who have had a subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) caused by a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. The paper’s systematic review of previous studies is commendable. However, I believe that some important limitations of the curren...

Comaneci-assisted coiling of a right posterior communicating artery aneurysm: an unusual case of coil retention
Although endovascular embolization has become the main treatment option for intracranial aneurysms,1 2 wide-necked intracranial aneurysms remain difficult to coil.3 Both stent- and balloon-assisted coiling are used for wide-necked aneurysms because they provide a scaffold that protects the parent vessel during coiling.4 5 However, stent-assisted coiling requires dual antiplatelet therapy, which increases the risk of bleeding, whereas balloon-assisted coiling temporarily obstructs blood flow.4 6 7 The Comaneci device (Rapid Medical, Yokneam, Israel) has recently received US Food and Drug Administration approval as a ‘...
