TL;DR: Transarterial embolization with Onyx as the single embolic agent results in durable long-term cure of noncavernous cranial dural arteriovenous fistulas, and angiographic cure should be defined at short-term follow-up angiography instead of at the end of the finalembolization session.

TL;DR: S Severity of LA is linked to poor collateral grade in AIS patients undergoing IAT for PAO; however, greater LAv appears not to be a contraindication for acute intervention.

TL;DR: CTP-derived CBF maps cannot substitute for DWI in measuring the ischemic core, and volume estimates derived from all CBF thresholds above 28% and 22% were less accurate than disregarding imaging and presuming every patient’s core volume to be zero.

TL;DR: MRI-based analysis of hemisphere growth appears to be a suitable biomarker for edema formation in severe ischemic stroke patients, and statistically significant changes in hemisphere and ventricular volumes within the first week are consistent with expected changes of cerebral edema.

TL;DR: Angioplasty of acutely occluded intracranial arteries with low-pressure elastomer balloons results in high recanalization rates with an acceptable degree of safety and glycoprotein IIb-IIIa inhibitors may be helpful in preventing reocclusion and in increasing patency rates.
