Do you use 4D #angiography for better visualization and treatment planning of complex #cerebrovascular pathologies? De Oliveira Souza et al. (bit.ly/409V6oj) explain how they use 4D-DSA in a case series of transvenous embolization of AVMs with multiple draining veins

With more endovascular options for the treatment of cerebral AVMs, how do you determine who's a good candidate for endovascular cure? Flores et al. put together a much-needed comparison of the various predictive scores for curative endovascular embolization of cerebral AVMs

What's next in MeVO thrombectomy? Devices dedicated to smaller vessel size and distal anatomy may hold the answer. The APERIO and APERIO Hybrid stent retrievers (Acandis, Pforzheim, Germany) show high efficacy and safety in this multicenter study bit.ly/4jBeW3u

To clip or to embolize? All ruptured aneurysms treated in Germany from 2013-2022 show the following: 🔹 Higher annual volume centers provide lower mortality and better outcomes 🔹 Endovascular treatment showed better functional outcomes, shorter hospital stays, less

Not all intrasaccular flow diverters behave the the same! Excessive lateral compression and height reduction can undermine the stability of the new Artisse 2.0. Find out how to size it appropriately in spherical vs. cylindrical aneurysms in the latest JNIS online content:
