This review explores the future role of venous sinus stenting (VSS) in the management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension and pulsatile tinnitus. Despite its favorable safety profile and clinical outcomes compared with traditional treatments, VSS is not yet the standard of care for these conditions, lacking high-level evidence data and guidelines for patient selection and indications. ⋯ The current lack of dedicated venous stenting technology is being addressed with promising advancements, which may improve procedural ease and patient outcomes. VSS also offers potential for expansion into modulation of brain electrophysiology via endovascular routes, offering exciting possibilities for neurodiagnostics and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.

The Artificial Intelligence Revolution in Stroke Care: A Decade of Scientific Evidence in Review.
The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly influenced the diagnostic evaluation of stroke and has revolutionized acute stroke care delivery. The scientific evidence evaluating the role of AI, especially in areas of stroke treatment and rehabilitation is limited but continues to accumulate. We performed a systemic review of current scientific evidence evaluating the use of AI in stroke evaluation and care and examined the publication trends during the past decade. ⋯ Most research on AI is in the diagnostic area of stroke care, with a recent noteworthy trend of increased research focus on stroke treatment and rehabilitation.
