Association of Estimated Arterial Stiffness with Collateral Status and Functional Outcome after Endovascular Thrombectomy: A Secondary Analysis of the OPTIMAL-BP Trial

PURPOSE: Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) is a surrogate of arterial stiffness that may influence stroke outcomes and potentially affect collateral circulation. We examined the association of ePWV with collateral status and 3-month functional outcome after successful endovasc...

Vascular Imaging Features and Time-Specific Recurrence Risk After Craniocervical Artery Dissection

Background and ObjectivesCraniocervical artery dissection (CCAD) is a major cause of stroke in young adults, yet its recurrence risk remains poorly defined because of delayed enrollment in prior research. We aimed to determine the temporal distribution of recurrent ischemic strok...

Flow-Augmentation STA-MCA bypass for Acute Ischemic Stroke with Diffusion-Perfusion Mismatch: Clinical and Radiological Outcomes

Objective: While mechanical thrombectomy (EVT) is the established standard for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), a significant unmet clinical need remains for patients in whom EVT is unsuccessful, technically infeasible, or contraindicated. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and...

Nipple adenoma mimicking Paget’s disease: a case report

Nipple adenoma is a rare benign tumor arising from the lactiferous ducts of the nipple and may clinically mimic malignant breast conditions such as Paget’s disease. Accurate diagnosis is often challenging, and histopathological confirmation is essential. A 37-year-old woman prese...

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy for metastatic vulvar extramammary Paget’s disease involving supraclavicular nodes: a case report

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare adenocarcinoma with a poor prognosis when invasive.Here, we report an exceptionally rare case of invasive vulvar EMPD in a 70-year-old woman who presented with extensive lymphadenopathy involving the inguinal, pelvic, para-aortic, and...
