Ray A, Manara A, Mortimer A, Thomas I
J Intensive Care Soc . 2023 Feb; 23(4):453-458. PMID: 36751360
Background: It is unclear if the presence of compartmental brain herniation on neuroimaging should be a prerequisite to the clinical confirmation of death using neurological criteria. The World Brain Death...

Wareham J, Phan K, Renowden S, Mortimer A
Neurointervention . 2017 Sep; 12(2):59-68. PMID: 28955507
Purpose: The safety and efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for patients with proximal occlusive stroke presenting beyond 6 hours and selected on the basis of favorable neuroimaging remains unclear. Materials...

Phan K, Huo Y, Jia F, Phan S, Rao P, Mobbs R, et al.
J Clin Neurosci . 2016 Jun; 31:15-22. PMID: 27344091
Endovascular coil embolization is a widely accepted and useful treatment modality for intracranial aneurysms. However, the principal limitation of this technique is the high aneurysm recurrence. The adjunct use of...

Phan K, Zhao D, Phan S, Huo Y, Mobbs R, Rao P, et al.
J Clin Neurosci . 2016 Mar; 29:38-45. PMID: 26947342
One of the primary strategies for the management of acute ischemic stroke is intravenous (IV) thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). Over the past decade, endovascular therapies such as the...

Mortimer A, Steinfort B, Faulder K, Harrington T
J Neurointerv Surg . 2015 Jul; 8(8):802-7. PMID: 26186932
Background: The recent literature pertaining to delayed cerebral ischemia following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage has downplayed the role of angiographic vasospasm. However, it is our hypothesis that angiographic vasospasm has a...

Mortimer A, Appelman A, Renowden S
J Neurointerv Surg . 2015 Jun; 8(7):728-31. PMID: 26044985
Background: Perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (PMSAH) is only rarely associated with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm and CT angiography (CTA) has very good sensitivity and specificity for aneurysm detection. The necessity for...

Mortimer A, Harrington T, Steinfort B, Faulder K
J Neurointerv Surg . 2015 Feb; 8(3):e11. PMID: 25691694
We describe the case of a patient who presented with debilitating pulsatile tinnitus in association with two jugular bulb diverticula. The diverticula were treated with stenting of the jugular bulb...

Mortimer A, Steinfort B, Faulder K, Erho T, Scherman D, Rao P, et al.
J Neurointerv Surg . 2015 Feb; 8(3):256-64. PMID: 25646130
Background: Surgical clipping and endovascular coiling yield similar functional outcomes for the treatment of saccular aneurysms of the anterior communicating (ACOM) artery. However, surgical treatment may be associated with greater...

Mortimer A, Bradford C, Steinfort B, Faulder K, Assaad N, Harrington T
J Neurointerv Surg . 2014 Dec; 8(2):145-51. PMID: 25516533
Background: Endovascular coiling (EVC) has been shown to yield superior clinical outcomes to surgical clipping (SC) in the treatment of ruptured cerebral aneurysms. The reasons for these differences remain obscure....
