BACKGROUND: Neurointerventionalists must pay close attention to multiple devices on multiple screens simultaneously, which can lead to oversights and complications. Artificial intelligence (AI) has potential application in recognizing and monitoring ...
Carotid plaques-the buildup of cholesterol, calcium, cellular debris, and fibrous tissues in carotid arteries-can rupture, release microemboli into the cerebral vasculature and cause strokes. The likelihood of a plaque rupturing is thought to be asso...
BACKGROUND: Positive neurologic awake testing during the carotid cross-clamping may be present in around 8% of patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The present work aimed to assess the accuracy of an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered ...
