[Endovascular therapy of stroke]K Alfke
Sektion Neuroradiologie, Universitatsklinikum Schleswig Holstein, Schittenhelmstrasse 10, 24105 Kiel
Hamostaseologie 26:326-33. 2006..Larger studies are needed to compare those tools. Apart from recanalization of a cerebral vessel occlusion implantation of a stent might be necessary for prophylaxis of recurrent stroke...
Continuous artery-selective spin labeling (CASSL)Richard Werner
Section of Neuroradiology, Christian Albrechts Universitat, Kiel, Germany
Magn Reson Med 53:1006-12. 2005..The results show the method's flexibility for different geometries and flow velocities. Potential applications include perfusion territory imaging of smaller cerebral arteries, and selective angiography techniques...
Superselective pseudocontinuous arterial spin labelingMichael Helle
Institute of Neuroradiology, Christian Albrechts Universitat, Kiel, Germany
Magn Reson Med 64:777-86. 2010..This shows the method's flexibility for dealing with complicated arterial geometries and its ability to superselectively label small intracranial arteries...
Hemodynamic assessment of carotid stenosis by functional magnetic resonance imagingUlf Jensen
Institute of Neuroradiology, University Hospital of Schleswig Holstein, Campus Kiel, Kiel, Germany
Cerebrovasc Dis 26:231-6. 2008....
Improving the amplitude-modulated control experiment for multislice continuous arterial spin labelingRichard Werner
Section of Neuroradiology, Christian Albrechts Universitat, Kiel, Germany
Magn Reson Med 53:1096-102. 2005..The efficiency increases were realized in a volunteer study, showing the practical application of the suggested optimization...
Assessment of thrombus in acute middle cerebral artery occlusion using thin-slice nonenhanced Computed Tomography reconstructionsChristian H Riedel
Department of Neuroradiology, UKS H, Campus Kiel, Kiel, Germany
Stroke 41:1659-64. 2010..We sought to evaluate how accurately length and volume of thrombotic clots occluding cerebral arteries of patients with acute ischemic stroke can be assessed from nonenhanced CT (NECT) scans reconstructed with different slice widths...
Complication rate in unprotected carotid artery stenting with closed-cell stentsMarc W K Tietke
Institute for Neuroradiology, University of Schleswig Holstein, Campus Kiel, Kiel, Germany
Neuroradiology 52:611-8. 2010..While many reviews and reports with retrospective data analysis do promote the use of PDs the most recent multi-centre trials are showing advantages for unprotected CAS combined with closed-cell stent designs...
Subacute stent thrombosis in intracranial stentingChristian H Riedel
Department of Neuroradiology, UKS H, Campus Kiel, Kiel, Germany address
Stroke 40:1310-4. 2009..We sought to determine the safety of intracranial stenting with respect to subacute stent thrombosis in patients being treated with standardized antiplatelet therapy...
Neuropsychological consequences of endarterectomy and endovascular angioplasty with stent placement for treatment of symptomatic carotid stenosis: a prospective randomised studyKarsten Witt
Department of Neurology, University Medical Center Schleswig Holstein, Campus Kiel, Schittenhelmstrasse 10, 24105 Kiel, Germany
J Neurol 254:1524-32. 2007..The clinical relevance of these differences remains unknown. We therefore compared the neuropsychological consequences of CAS and CEA and additionally measured the S100beta protein, a marker of cerebral damage...
Brain perfusion territory imaging applying oblique-plane arterial spin labeling with a standard send/receive head coilRichard Werner
Section of Neuroradiology, Christian Albrechts Universitat, Kiel, Germany
Magn Reson Med 52:1443-7. 2004..The obtained perfusion-weighted images showed a clear delineation of the perfusion territories of the selected arteries in the anterior circulation of the brain and good gray/white matter contrast...

Section of Neuroradiology, University of Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel, Germany
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 25:584-91. 2004..Access to smaller vessels was easy, but the mechanism of deployment had to be improved. Follow-up MR imaging was sufficient...
Clinical and angiographic risk factors for stroke and death within 30 days after carotid endarterectomy and stent-protected angioplasty: a subanalysis of the SPACE studyRobert Stingele
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Schleswig Holstein, Kiel, Germany
Lancet Neurol 7:216-22. 2008..Better knowledge of risk factors could improve assignment of patients to these procedures and reduce overall risk. We aimed to assess the risk of stroke or death associated with CEA and CAS in patients with different risk factors...
Evolution of hippocampal CA-1 diffusion lesions in transient global amnesiaThorsten Bartsch
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Schleswig Holstein, Kiel, Germany
Ann Neurol 62:475-80. 2007..As several imaging and epidemiological findings point to a vascular origin an analysis of the temporal evolution of the hippocampal apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) changes may offer new understanding of the pathomechanisms of TGA...
