Background and Purpose: Mechanical properties of thromboemboli play an important role in
the efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. However, very …

Background and Purpose—Recent advent of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) enables us
to provide a new perspective on the use of tPA (tissue-type plasminogen activator) through …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Periprocedural thrombus fragmentation is a relevant risk
in endovascular stroke treatment. Because factors influencing its occurrence are largely …

Background Although it is common practice to wait for an 'embedding time'during
mechanical thrombectomy (MT) to allow strut integration of a stentriever device into an …

Background: Prior studies have investigated the clinical and imaging factors for hemorrhagic
transformation (HT), especially symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH); however …

Endovascular treatment with stent retriever thrombectomy is a major advancement in the
standard of care in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The modalities through which thrombi …

Background: Only few studies have investigated the relationship between the histopathology
of retrieved thrombi and clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate thrombus …
