“…Not infrequently, we observe similar images, labeled as DCLV, in one report and diagnosed as LV diverticulum in another report . What is called diverticulum in one report is diagnosed as aneurysm in another one . Even in the same report, two images with narrow and wide connecting necks are both called diverticulum .…”
The cornerstone of this classification is elliptical LV geometry. Large-type IIc LVO have dismal prognosis, if left untreated. LVO type I and small LVO type IIa have the best prognosis.

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.
