Definitive treatment of seizures due to hemimegalencephaly in neonates and young infants by transarterial embolization: technical considerations for 'endovascular embolic hemispherectomy
Conclusion Endovascular hemispherectomy can be safely used to provide definitive treatment of HME-related epilepsy in neonates and young infants when intraprocedural events are managed effectively. This less invasive novel approach should be considered a feasible early alternative to surgical hemispherectomy. Further studies are needed to enhance the safety profile and to assess long-term neurodevelopmental outcome and durability of freedom from seizures. (Source: Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery)

Prevention of in-stent restenosis with drug-eluting balloons in patients with postirradiated carotid stenosis accepting percutaneous angioplasty and stenting
Conclusions We observed similar technical safety of carotid PTAS with and without DEBs. The number of cases of significant ISR were fewer and the degree of stenosis of ISR was less in primary DEB-PTAS of PIRCS than for conventional PTAS in the 12-month follow-up.

Dual-layered stents reduce cerebral embolism compared with first-generation stents during carotid stenting of high lipid core plaque lesions
Conclusions Dual-layered stents reduce embolic infarcts in patients with highly lipidic plaque lesions as assessed by NIRS who undergo CAS. Dual-layered stents significantly reduced NIRS-derived lipid signals after stenting. (Source: Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery)

Development and validation of machine learning-based model for mortality prediction in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion receiving endovascular treatment: multicentric cohort analysis
Conclusion We developed a machine learning algorithm and retrospective and prospective testing with multicentric cohorts, which exhibited a solid predictive performance and may act as a convenient reference to guide decision-making for ABAO patients. The POSITIVE model is presented online for user-friendly access. (Source: Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery)

Interaction between intravenous thrombolysis and clinical outcome between slow and fast progressors undergoing mechanical thrombectomy: a post-hoc analysis of the SWIFT-DIRECT trial
Conclusion In this SWIFT-DIRECT subanalysis, we did not find evidence for a significant interaction of the velocity of infarct growth on the odds of favourable outcome according to treatment by MT alone or combined IVT+MT. However, prior IVT was associated with significantly reduced occurrence of any ICH among slow progressors whereas this was increased in fast progressors.

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)

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...
