Background Occlusion of a cerebral blood vessel causes a variable decrease of blood flow
in the downstream parenchyma proportionate to the degree of collateral circulation. In brain …

Deficiency in vitamin D (VitD), a lipid-soluble vitamin and steroid hormone, affects
approximately 24% to 40% of the population of the Western world. In addition to its well …

Background Revascularization after endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke is
measured by the Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction (TICI) scale, yet variability exists in …

Background Evidence regarding whether imaging can be used effectively to select patients
for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is scarce. We aimed to investigate the association …

High-resolution phase—contrast magnetic resonance imaging can now assess flow in
proximal and distal cerebral arteries. The aim of this study was to describe how total cerebral …

Imaging plays a central role for intravenous and intra-arterial arterial ischemic stroke
treatment patient selection. Computed tomography (CT)/CT angiography or magnetic …

Our understanding of BBB breakdown acutely after the cerebrovascular injury has come a
long way; however, we lack a clear understanding of the course of BBB disruption and BBB …

Background and Purpose—Recent randomized trials have proven the benefit of intra-arterial
treatment (IAT) with retrievable stents in acute ischemic stroke. Patients with poor or absent …

Ischaemic stroke results from acute arterial occlusion leading to focal hypoperfusion.
Thrombolysis is the only proven treatment. Advanced neuroimaging techniques allow a …

Background and Purpose—The purpose of this study was to provide the first correlative
study of the hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS) and gradient-echo MRI …
