Stenting of the Lateral Sinus in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension According to the Type of Stenosis

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Lenck S1, Vallée F, Labeyrie MA, Touitou V, Saint-Maurice JP, Guillonnet A, Tantot A, Crassard I, Bernat AL, Houdart E. Pubmed BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, stenting of lateral sinus stenosis has been used to treat idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Two types of stenoses have been identified: extrinsic and intrinsic. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study Read more about Stenting of the Lateral Sinus in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension According to the Type of Stenosis[…]

Cerebral venous thrombosis

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Piazza G1. Case Presentation: A 20-year-old woman presented with 24 hours of severe left-sided headache associated with nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia. She was previously healthy and was taking only an oral contraceptive pill. On physical examination, she was tachycardic to 110 bpm, normotensive with a blood pressure of 108/64 mm Hg, and appeared uncomfortable. Neurological Read more about Cerebral venous thrombosis[…]

Antiplatelet therapy for the prevention of peri-coiling thromboembolism in high-risk patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Edwards NJ1,2, Jones WH1, Sanzgiri A1, Corona J1, Dannenbaum M1, Chen PR1. Abstract OBJECTIVE The most frequent procedural complication of the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms is a thromboembolic event (TEE); in a subset of patients, such events will cause permanent neurological disability. In patients with unruptured aneurysms, increasing evidence supports the use of periprocedural Read more about Antiplatelet therapy for the prevention of peri-coiling thromboembolism in high-risk patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms.[…]

Delayed enhancing lesions after coil embolization of aneurysms: clinical experience and benchtop analyses

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Oh SW1,2, Shin NY1,3, Lee HJ1, Kim BM1, Kim DJ1. Abstract BACKGROUND: Foreign body emboli during endovascular treatment (EVT) may cause delayed enhancing lesions (DELs). OBJECTIVE: To report our experiences of this complication in patients treated for cerebral aneurysms and to investigate the cause of the lesions by benchtop analyses. METHODS: Three patients with DELs Read more about Delayed enhancing lesions after coil embolization of aneurysms: clinical experience and benchtop analyses[…]

Endovascular treatments for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Qiu Z1, Sang H, Dai Q, Xu G. Abstract Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an uncommon but potentially fatal condition. CVST usually occurs young adults with a female predominance. The current mainstay for treating CVST is anticoagulation with heparin. However, more aggressive interventions, endovascular treatment as an example, may be indicated in selected patients Read more about Endovascular treatments for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.[…]

Cerebral Sinus Thrombosis

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Agrawal K1, Burger K2, Rothrock JF3. Abstract BACKGROUND: Although cerebral venous thrombosis/cerebral sinus thrombosis (CVT/CST) remains a relatively uncommon cause of stroke and other neurologic complications, the widespread availability of noninvasive brain imaging has led to an increase in its diagnosis. PURPOSE: Through a review and description of its epidemiology, clinical features and treatment, to Read more about Cerebral Sinus Thrombosis[…]

Cerebral venous thrombosis

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Coutinho JM1. Abstract Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon cause of stroke that mainly affects young adults and children. In contrast to venous thromboembolism, women are affected three times more often than men. Baseline symptoms can vary considerably between patients, but most present with headache, seizures, or focal neurological deficits. Patients can be diagnosed Read more about Cerebral venous thrombosis[…]

Classification and surgical management of spinal arteriovenous lesions: arteriovenous fistulae and arteriovenous malformations.

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Kim LJ1, Spetzler RF. Abstract OBJECTIVE: Preexisting spinal arteriovenous malformation nomenclature can be confusing. The aim of this article is to present a modified classification system for spinal arteriovenous lesions and to discuss its implications for microsurgical strategies. METHODS: Based on the literature review of prior classifications as well as on the experience of the Read more about Classification and surgical management of spinal arteriovenous lesions: arteriovenous fistulae and arteriovenous malformations.[…]

Clot friction variation with fibrin content; implications for resistance to thrombectomy.

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Gunning GM1, McArdle K1, Mirza M1, Duffy S1,2, Gilvarry M1, Brouwer PA3. Abstract BACKGROUND: Despite significant advancements in the procedural efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with ischemic stroke in recent years, there still remains a portion of the population that does not achieve good recanalization. The reasons for this may be varied. We hypothesized Read more about Clot friction variation with fibrin content; implications for resistance to thrombectomy.[…]

Endovascular Treatment of Ruptured Blister-Like Aneurysms: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis with Focus on Deconstructive versus Reconstructive and Flow-Diverter Treatments.

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Rouchaud A1, Brinjikji W2, Cloft HJ2, Kallmes DF2. Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Various endovascular techniques have been applied to treat blister-like aneurysms. We performed a systematic review to evaluate endovascular treatment for ruptured blister-like aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a comprehensive literature search and subgroup analyses to compare deconstructive versus reconstructive techniques and flow Read more about Endovascular Treatment of Ruptured Blister-Like Aneurysms: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis with Focus on Deconstructive versus Reconstructive and Flow-Diverter Treatments.[…]
