First-Pass Effect in M1-Occlusion Stroke Patients Treated with Combined Stent-Retriever/Large-Bore Distal Aspiration Catheter Thrombectomy
ConclusionOur results suggest that in combined LB-DAC/stent-retriever thrombectomy, a larger aspiration catheter inner diameter is associated with higher rates of FPE and mFPE. (Source: Klinische Neuroradiologie)

Angiographic Index for the Treatment Efficacy and Functional Outcomes of Spinal Cord Arteriovenous Shunts: the Vertebral Blush Sign
ConclusionThe VB sign is independently associated with functional recovery after shunt occlusion and could be an assessment tool for the treatment efficacy of SCAVSs. (Source: Klinische Neuroradiologie)

Blood Flow Velocity: a Decision Tool for Stenting Indication in Venous Pulsatile Tinnitus
ConclusionMeasurement of sinus blood flow velocity provides a hemodynamic explanation of disease and may be a better tool than pressure gradient for the indication of stenting in VPT. (Source: Klinische Neuroradiologie)

Combined Conduit Score in Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Venography in Patients with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
ConclusionDespite the excellent agreement between the neuro-interventionists and the good agreement between the radiologists, there was no agreement between the neuro-interventionists and the radiologists. Our finding suggests that there is a gap between the 2 specialties but does not favor any of them. Factors related to the observers, the venous sinus system, the MRV or the CCS score may have resulted in this discrepancy. Automatic or semi-automatic feature extractions to produce quantifiable biomarkers for IIH are warranted. The cli nical decisions should not depend only on strongly observer-dependent scores with trai...

Applicability of the Edinburgh CT Criteria for Lobar Intracerebral Hemorrhage Associated with Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
ConclusionUsing the Boston MRI criteria as a final assessment, we provided a new external confirmation of the radiological Edinburgh CT criteria, which are directly applicable in acute settings of spontaneous lobar ICH and further proposed an original 3‑set model considering finger-like projections, subarachnoid extension, and cortical in volvement that may achieve a high discrimination performance.

Endovascular Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms Using a Microcatheter Protection
ConclusionMCP is feasible and safe for coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms, in conjunction with multicatheter, balloon, or stenting techniques. MCP may have merit in small-sized or tortuous lesions not amenable to balloon or stent usage, often eliminating the need for stenting altogether. (Source: Klinische Neuroradiologie)

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Pediatric Large Vessel Occlusions
ConclusionIn our meta-analysis, MT demonstrated a promising safety and efficacy profile for pediatric patients, with consistently high efficacy outcomes and low complication rates. Our results support the utilization of MT in pediatric LVOs; however, prospective studies are still needed to further establish the role of pediatric MT as a first-li ne treatment strategy.

Exact Basilar Artery Occlusion Location Indicates Stroke Etiology and Recanalization Success in Patients Eligible for Endovascular Stroke Treatment
ConclusionThe exact basilar artery occlusion site in patients eligible for endovascular stroke treatment reflects the stroke etiology and is associated with differing recanalization success but does not predict favorable clinical outcome. (Source: Klinische Neuroradiologie)

First Experience with the Nimbus Stentretriever
ConclusionIn our series, the use of Nimbus resulted in successful recanalization in half of the patients after otherwise unsuccessful thrombectomy maneuvers; therefore, it should be considered as a rescue option if the maneuver with conventional stent retrievers was unsuccessful.

Computed Tomography of the Spine
AbstractThe introduction of the first whole-body CT scanner in 1974 marked the beginning of cross-sectional spine imaging. In the last decades, the technological advancement, increasing availability and clinical success of CT led to a rapidly growing number of CT examinations, also of the spine. After initially being primarily used for trauma evaluation, new indications continued to emerge, such as assessment of vertebral fractures or degenerative spine disease, preoperative and postoperative evaluation, or CT-guided interventi ons at the spine; however, improvements in patient management and clinical outcomes come along...

Topographic Mapping of Isolated Thalamic Infarcts Using Vascular and Novel Probabilistic Functional Thalamic Landmarks
ConclusionThe FTM revealed a greater reproducibility for the topographical assignment of TI than the VTM. Sensorimotor hemiparesis and neglect are predictive for a TI in the inferolateral VT/ventral FT. The hemisensory syndrome alone does not allow any topographical assignment.

Angioarchitecture of the Normal Lateral Spinal Artery and Craniocervical Junction Arteriovenous Fistula Using Contrast-enhanced Cone-beam CT
ConclusionThis is the first report that visualized the LSA ’s normal anatomy using slab MIP images from 3D-RA and CE-CBCT. Knowledge of LSA anatomy is critical to avoid complications during the treatment of CCJAVF. (Source: Klinische Neuroradiologie)
