Radial Artery Access Used for Neuroendovascular Procedures
Radial artery catheterization is an alternative approach to performing a wide range of neuroendovascular procedures and has a low rate of complications.

Strong SSRI May Be Linked to Decrease in Ischemic Stroke Risk
Antidepressants strongly inhibiting serotonin reuptake may be associated with a small reduction in the rate of ischemic stroke compared with weak reuptake inhibitors.
Direct Oral Anticoagulants Preferable to Warfarin for Secondary Prevention of Stroke in Patients with AF
Treatment with direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) at discharge following acute ischemic stroke among patients with atrial fibrillation is an effective and safe treatment option, with a superior risk-benefit ratio compared with warfarin.
Blood Pressure Variability After Intracerebral Hemorrhage May Be Linked to Poor Clinical Outcome
Two similarly controlled landmark trials provide conflicting results regarding the clinical guidelines for management of acute hypertension in individuals with intracerebral hemorrhage. However, focusing exclusively on blood pressure targets may obscure a critical finding.
Impact of Chronic Anemia on White Matter Volume and Cognitive Performance
Patients with chronic anemia demonstrated a decrease in brain white matter volume proportional to anemia severity.
Brain Aneurysm Risk Examined in Polycystic Kidney Disease
Intracranial aneurysms are detected in 9% of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease undergoing magnetic resonance angiography screening.
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension in Women Associated With Increased CV Risk
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension may double the risk for cardiovascular disease in women.
Best Oral Anticoagulants for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
Investigators sought to determine the safety and efficacy of novel oral anticoagulants to treat patients with chronic kidney disease, particularly with regard to cardiovascular outcomes.
Nilvadipine Increases Cerebral Blood Flow in the Hippocampus
For patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer disease, treatment with nilvadipine lowers systolic blood pressure and increases cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the hippocampus.
Remote Ischemic Preconditioning May Have Neuroprotective Effects
Dynamic cerebral autoregulation increased six hours after RIPC, lasts for at least 24 hours.
