Its not just the arteries that are important! Jiang et al show favorable venous outflow may lead to better outcomes following thrombectomy due to decreasing severe ICH bit.ly/4cdXtKM #Stroke #Thrombectomy

Towards a more accurate understanding of recurrent stroke risks in ICAD! Huang et al show that angiographic based quantitative flow ratio and plaque morphology may provide prognostic tools for stroke prediction. bit.ly/4fGl9Kz #Stroke #ICAD

Higher is better! The ASSIST investigators show high cervical carotid placement of a balloon-guide catheter leads to better recanalization rates in mechanical thrombectomy. bit.ly/4dlCE1u #Stroke #Thrombectomy #BGC

🧠 What is the optimal procedural treatment for IIH? While we wait for the results of randomized trials, this cohort from Matt Fusco @NiMummareddy shows that venous sinus stenting may result in a more durable headache response compared to shunting. bit.ly/3z2ANjc

While the randomized controlled trials are ongoing here's something to guide the decision to give IA thrombolysis during mechanical thrombectomy: bit.ly/3MKdi1f Mohammad Mahdi Sowlat, Pascal Jabbour MD, FAANS, FACS, FAHA, @Starke_neurosurgery, Brian Howard, Justin R.

September is #BrainAneurysmAwarenessMonth. It's estimated that up to one in 15 people in the United States will develop a brain aneurysm during their lifetime. Thank you, #SNIS members, for treating and advocating on behalf of brain aneurysm patients across the nation & world.

Time to test your knowledge! Which variant artery (purple arrow) is reconstituting the artery marked with the red arrow? From which branch of the external carotid artery does it arise? On the delayed phase image, what is the green arrow pointing to? Comment your answers below!
