Cerebral No‐Reflow after Thrombectomy: International Delphi Consensus on Definition and Imaging Assessment

BACKGROUND: The operational definition and imaging assessment of the no-reflow phenomenon, a potential contributor to poor clinical outcome despite successful thrombectomy, remains debated. We aimed to develop expert-based international consensus on the definition, assessment, an...

Data driven approach to identify vulnerable plaques in carotid atherosclerosis using computed tomography imaging and computational fluid dynamics: A pilot study

The current clinical gold standard for identifying vulnerable plaque is plaque Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). However, owing to its limited availability, many patients do not have access. This pilot study aims to explore whether computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling, es...

Intraarterial Thrombolysis: Past, Present, Future

Suboptimal clinical outcomes are common after ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion despite current reperfusion treatment with intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy. Targeting residual distal arterial and microvascular occlusions with intraarterial thrombolys...
