Diagnostic utility of artificial intelligence for left ventricular scar identification using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging—A systematic review (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Accurate, rapid quantification of ventricular scar using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) carries importance in arrhythmia management and patient prognosis. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to other radiological chall...

Virtual reality in post-stroke neurorehabilitation – a systematic review and meta-analysis (2021)
Journal Article

Background Stroke is a neurological disorder and one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. The patient may lose the ability to adequately move the extremities, perceive sensations, or ambulate independently. Recent experimental studies have...

Clinical and Procedural Outcomes with or without Balloon Guide Catheters during Endovascular Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis with First-line Technique Subgroup Analysis (2021)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Balloon guide catheters are increasingly used to improve clot retrieval by temporarily stopping proximal blood flow during endovascular thrombectomy. PURPOSE: Our aim was to provide a summary of the literature comparing the procedural and...

Direct mechanical thrombectomy without intravenous thrombolysis versus bridging therapy for acute ischemic stroke: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Direct mechanical thrombectomy may result in similar outcomes compared to a bridging approach with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT + MT) in acute ischemic stroke. Recent randomized controlled trials have varied in their design and noninferi...

Local anaesthesia as a distinct comparator versus conscious sedation and 1 general anaesthesia in endovascular stroke treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2021)
Journal Article

Background: The optimal anesthetic modality for endovascular treatment (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is undetermined. Comparisons of general anesthesia (GA) with composite non-GA cohorts of conscious sedation (CS) and local anesthesia (LA) wit...
