Early neurological status has been described as predictor of functional outcome in patients with anterior circulation stroke after mechanical thrombectomy. It remains unclear to what proportion the ...

Approximately 30% of ischemic strokes occur after a previous stroke or transient ischemic attack. Arterial hypertension is one of the best established risk factors for first and recurrent stroke, both ...

While mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is proven to be lifesaving and disability sparing, there remains a disparity in its access in low- to middle-income countries. We hypothesized that team-based MT ...

The identification of a variant in the HDAC9 gene as a risk factor for large-artery atherosclerotic stroke, and subsequently coronary artery disease, has opened novel treatment pathways for stroke and ...

Covered stent implantation for treatment of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is effective and can prevent aortic wall injury. Prospective studies with long-term follow-up, including imaging, are lacking ...

For this study, we hypothesized that patients with an MB would have a reduced septal longitudinal strain (LS) and comparable lateral LS during exercise compared with age‐ and sex‐matched controls. We ...

For patients with acute ischemic stroke due to a large vessel occlusion admitted in primary stroke centers, helicopter transfer to comprehensive stroke centers is often used to expedite access to ...
