Objectives
Given the significant global health challenge posed by stroke, this study aims to measure stroke costs in Latin American countries by analyzing the precise costs of acute ischemic stroke and their regional ...
Background and objectives: The most common cause of convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) in younger patients (younger than 60 years) is reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS). Evidence on the long-term ...
Purpose: Treating small-caliber vessel aneurysms with flow diverters poses challenges due to narrow luminal diameters and tortuous vasculature, which complicate the navigation and deployment of conventional devices using ...
Background: The Buenos Aires Stroke School was established in 2019 to address the unmet need for structured, high-quality stroke education in Latin America. Its goal is to provide intensive training in vascular neurology ...

Background: Acute symptomatic seizures (ASyS) increase the risk of epilepsy and mortality after a stroke. The impact of the timing and type of ASyS remains unclear.
Methods: This multicenter cohort study included data ...
Background: Data about the safety and the efficacy of flow diversion for distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms are limited. We present the largest multicenter analysis evaluating the outcomes of flow diversion ...
Background: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Timely and adequate rehabilitation is crucial for post-stroke recovery, but access is limited due to an overburdened healthcare system, medical ...
Background: Telestroke has proven efficacy in improving clinical outcomes by providing rapid access to specialized stroke care, particularly in remote areas. However, the global implementation of telestroke networks remains ...
The development of vascular neurology as the primary specialty for stroke evaluation and treatment is a relatively recent advancement. Vascular neurology is well-established in the United States, ensuring most stroke ...
