Review of intraluminal optical coherence tomography imaging for cerebral aneurysms Open
Cerebral aneurysms are an abnormal ballooning of blood vessels which have the potential to rupture and cause hemorrhagic stroke. The diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of cerebral aneurysms is highly dependant on high resolution imaging.…

Abstract 1122‐000236: Intravascular Delivery and Crosslinking of Photosensitive Hydrogels for Embolizing Animal Models of AVMs and Tumors Open
Introduction : Embolization represents a minimally invasive treatment modality for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), tumors, and other indications, but can be limited by currently available embolic agents, in terms of safety and efficacy…

Access-site complications in ultrasound-guided endovascular thrombectomy: a single-institution retrospective cohort study Open
OBJECTIVE Mechanical endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is an increasingly relied-on treatment for clot retrieval in the context of ischemic strokes, which otherwise are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite several kno…

Minimally invasive intrathecal spinal cord imaging with optical coherence tomography Open
Minimally invasive intrathecal imaging using endovascular OCT was feasible in this preclinical animal study. The repurposing of an endovascular device for spinal imaging comes with limitations, and a spine-specific device is necessary.

Doppler optical coherence tomography for energy seal evaluation and comparison to visual evaluation (Erratum) Open
The Journal of Biomedical Optics (JBO) is a Gold Open Access journal that publishes peer-reviewed papers on the use of novel optical systems and techniques for improved health care and biomedical research.
View article: Outcomes of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Basilar Artery Occlusion
Outcomes of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Basilar Artery Occlusion Open
Background and Purpose: Large prospective observational studies have cast doubt on the common assumption that endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is superior to intravenous thrombolysis for patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO). T…

Optical coherence tomography imaging after endovascular thrombectomy: a novel method for evaluating vascular injury in a swine model Open
OBJECTIVE Although studies have shown that some degree of iatrogenic endothelial injury occurs during endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), the clinical significance of such injury is uncertain. Furthermore, it is likely that iatrogenic effects…
