Therapeutic intervention of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with visual impairment using the EKOS Endovascular System: illustrative cases
EKOS thrombolysis may represent a safe, effective option for CVST with vision-threatening intracranial hypertension, particularly after anticoagulation failure. Early intervention appears critical to optimize outcomes. Larger studies are warranted to confirm the safety, efficacy, and optimal treatment window. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25364.
