TL;DR: The persistent challenges that face neurointerventionists are addressed and technical refinements that may help to mitigate these obstacles to procedural success are reviewed.

TL;DR: Findings are important to better understand why platelet-rich thrombi are resistant to thrombolysis and difficult to retrieve via thrombectomy, and can guide further improvements of acute ischemic stroke therapy.

TL;DR: Disconnection of an anterior cranial fossa DAVF by using transarterial catheterization through the ophthalmic artery and subsequent injection of NBCA is possible with a reasonable success rate and low risk for complications, and in patients with good vascular access this procedure could be the treatment of choice, to be followed by open surgery in cases of embolization failure.

TL;DR: The EmboTrap stent-retriever mechanical thrombectomy device demonstrated high rates of substantial reperfusion and functional independence in patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to large-vessel occlusions and all-cause mortality at 90 days.

TL;DR: X-ray imaging technology using an image noise reduction algorithm and system settings provided approximately 60% radiation dose reduction in neuroangiography and interventional neuroradiology, without affecting the working habits of the physician.
