Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUNDThe introduction of soft, large‐profile microwires has improved aspiration catheter delivery for intracranial large‐vessel occlusions. The Aristotle‐only direct aspiration first‐pass technique (AO‐ADAPT) uses the Aristotle 24 microwire to deliver a large‐bore aspiration catheter to the target occlusion without a microcatheter.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a diagnosis based on glomerular histology,1 carries an ominous prognosis, although its downward slide to end-stage kidney disease is variable. FSGS is a syndrome, and, ultimately, identifying the pathogenesis in each patient might enable the effective individualization of treatment. FSGS is categorized as primary.

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue 6 , November 1, 2023. BackgroundIdiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is prevalent among the US population, with exacerbation of symptoms during pregnancy. Transverse sinus stenting is a new effective treatment for IIH. Stenting is avoided in pregnancy largely due to the requirement of dual antiplatelet therapy.MethodsWe present a case of a pregnant patient in her first trimester with signs and symptoms of fulminant IIH, includi

Infiltrative cardiomyopathies comprise a broad spectrum of inherited or acquired conditions caused by deposition of abnormal substances within the myocardium. Increased wall thickness, inflammation, microvascular dysfunction, and fibrosis are the common pathological processes that lead to abnormal myocardial filling, chamber dilation, and disruption of conduction system.
