Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) software in a quaternary stroke centre as well as assess the accuracy and efficacy of StrokeViewer software in large vessel occlusion detection and its potential impact on radiological workflow.
Materials And Methods: Data were collected during two separate three-month periods comparing the accuracy rate of StrokeViewer in detection of large vessel occlusion to that of a junior registrar. During the first three months, 37 cases were identified and during the second leg, 47.
Background: Stent-assisted coiling (SAC) is a well-established method for treatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. In this multicenter, retrospective case series we evaluated SAC with a new low-profile, laser-cut stent with an antithrombogenic hydrophilic polymer coating (pEGASUS-HPC) for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
Methods: Patients treated with pEGASUS-HPC SAC for one or more intracranial aneurysms were retrospectively included.
Background: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is standard care for intracranial stenting to prevent thrombotic complications. Clopidogrel resistance has resulted in patients receiving newer P2Y12 inhibitors like Prasugrel, which may reduce thrombotic complications but could increase haemorrhagic complications. This study, utilising platelet reactivity testing, compared thrombotic and haemorrhagic complications associated with Clopidogrel or 20 mg Prasugrel loading in patients treated with flow diverters (FD) for intracranial aneurysms.

- In the SCOT-HEART trial, a strategy using coronary CT angiography (CTA) resulted in better health outcomes for individuals with stable chest pain.
- A secondary analysis examined the cumulative radiation doses over 5 years for both the CTA group and standard-care group, involving nearly 3,000 participants.
- The findings revealed that those in the CT group had significantly higher median radiation exposure (8.1 mSv) compared to the standard-care group which had minimal exposure (0 mSv).
Objective: The aim of our multi-center study is to examine 5-year radiological outcomes of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) treated with the Woven EndoBridge (WEB).
Methods: All patients treated with WEB between January 2013 and December 2016 were included. Patient and aneurysm characteristic data was collected from the electronic patient record.
