Mechanical thrombectomy utilizing combined manual aspiration with a stent retriever is an effective and safe strategy for endovascular recanalization of large vessel occlusions presenting within the context of AIS.
Intraventricular access is frequently required during neurosurgery, and when neuronavigation is unavailable, the neurosurgeon must rely upon craniometrics to achieve successful ventricular cannulation. In this historical review, we summarize the most well-described ventricular access points: Kocher's, Kaufman's, Paine's, Menovksy's, Tubbs’, Keen's, Frazier's, Dandy's, and Sanchez's. Additionally, we provide multiview, 3-dimensional illustrations that provide the reader with a novel understanding of the craniometrics associated with each point.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
