Enhancing mortality prediction in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: Radiomics and supervised machine learning on non-contrast computed tomography.

Purpose: This study aims to develop a Radiomics-based Supervised Machine-Learning model to predict mortality in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH).

Methods: Retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected clinical registry of patients with sICH consecutively admitted at a single academic comprehensive stroke center between January-2016 and April-2018. We conducted an in-depth analysis of 105 radiomic features extracted from 105 patients.

Long and Large Stentrievers Improve Reperfusion Outcomes in Acute Intracranial Terminal Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion: Interim Results of the Rossetti Registry.

Introduction: Although stentrievers (SRs) are widely used for mechanical thrombectomy (MT), the impact of device dimensions on optimizing reperfusion outcomes in high clot burden cases is unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of SR size on angiographic and clinical outcomes in patients with acute terminal internal cerebral artery (TICA) occlusion.

Methods: We analyzed ROSSETTI registry data to compare technical and clinical outcomes of TICA occlusion patients treated with MT without rescue therapy, according to SR diameter and length: 6 × 41-50 mm, 6 × 20-40 mm, and <6 × 20-50 mm.

Assessing flow diverter porosity: a comparative analysis of quantification techniques based on imaging and simulation.

Background/purpose: Flow diverter porosity directly influences the blood flow reduction at the aneurysm neck level and the anatomical result of the treatment. In this research, we present and compare three methodologies to determine the local porosity of deployed flow diverters.

Method: Three-dimensional rotational angiography was used to obtain computational vessel models of three patients.

Angiographic and Histopathological Characteristics of a Novel Polyacrylate Liquid Embolic Agent Compared with Ethylene-Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer in a Large Animal Model.

Purpose: To study the in vivo safety and effectiveness of a novel radiopaque nonadhesive polyacrylate (PA) peripheral liquid embolic system (AMBER SEL-P) relative to ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH, Onyx) in a healthy swine endovascular model.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-five swine underwent rete mirabile and bilateral kidney embolization with PA or EVOH and were followed up for 24 hours (n = 5) and 30 days (n = 10), and 3 (n = 10) months. Angiographic features (penetrability, radiopacity, catheter entrapment, fragmentation, occlusion, and vasospasm) were evaluated.
