Background: At least 20% of strokes involve the posterior circulation (PC). Compared to the anterior circulation, posterior circulation infarction (POCI) are frequently misdiagnosed. CT perfusion (CTP ...

An intermediate catheter (Navien, Medtronic) was then inserted into the V3 segment of the vertebral artery. A stent microcatheter was used to access the true lumen of the aneurysm in the posterior ...

while the posterior ciliary artery branches out to supply blood to the sclera and choroid. Potential mechanisms of perioperative cerebral infarction in non-vascular surgeries include cerebral artery ...

A transradial approach for cerebral angiography was less effective than the transfemoral route in achieving an accurate diagnostic success rate.

Overall complication rates were similar to those seen with transfemoral access, however, and patients liked it better.

Removing a clot blocking a medium- or small-sized artery in the brain mechanically is a safe treatment for a common type of ...

Mechanically retrieving a blood clot blocking a medium- or small-sized brain artery was no better at reducing disability 90 ...
