Endovascular flow diversion for treatment of anterior communicating artery region cerebral aneurysms: a single-center cohort of 50 cases

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Colby GP1, Bender MT1, Lin LM2, Beaty N1, Huang J1, Tamargo R1, Coon A1. Pubmed BACKGROUND: Flow diversion represents a novel but definitive treatment for recurrent and difficult-to-coil aneurysms of the anteriorcommunicating artery (ACoA) region, of which reports are limited. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of the Pipeline embolization device (PED) in treating aneurysms in the Read more about Endovascular flow diversion for treatment of anterior communicating artery region cerebral aneurysms: a single-center cohort of 50 cases[…]

Academic impact and rankings of neuroendovascular fellowship programs across the United States.

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Sonig A1,2, Shallwani H1,2, Levy BR2, Shakir HJ1,2, Siddiqui AH1,3,4,2,5. Pubmed OBJECTIVE Publication has become a major criterion of success in the competitive academic environment of neurosurgery. This is the first study that has used departmental h index-and e index-based matrices to assess the academic output of neuroendovascular, neurointerventional, and interventional radiology fellowship programs across Read more about Academic impact and rankings of neuroendovascular fellowship programs across the United States.[…]

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 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.[…]

Clipping and Coiling of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms Among Medicare Beneficiaries, 2000 to 2010.

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Jalbert JJ1, Isaacs AJ2, Kamel H2, Sedrakyan A2. Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endovascular coiling therapy is increasingly popular for obliteration of unruptured intracranial aneurysms, but older patients face higher procedural risks and shorter periods during which an untreated aneurysm may rupture causing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We assessed trends in clipping and coiling of unruptured intracranial Read more about Clipping and Coiling of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms Among Medicare Beneficiaries, 2000 to 2010.[…]

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease and Intracranial Aneurysms: Is There an Increased Risk of Treatment?

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Rozenfeld MN1, Ansari SA2, Mohan P3, Shaibani A2, Russell EJ2, Hurley MC2. Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is associated with an increased risk of intracranial aneurysms. Our purpose was to assess whether there is an increased risk during aneurysm coiling and clipping. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were obtained from the National Read more about Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease and Intracranial Aneurysms: Is There an Increased Risk of Treatment?[…]

Therapeutic Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion for Large and Giant Aneurysms: A Single Center Cohort of 146 Patients.

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Bechan RS1, Majoie CB2, Sprengers ME2, Peluso JP1, Sluzewski M1, van Rooij WJ3. Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: At our institution, patients with large or giant ICA aneurysms are preferably treated with endovascular ICA balloon occlusion. Alternative treatment or conservative treatment is offered only for patients who cannot tolerate permanent ICA occlusion. In this observational study, Read more about Therapeutic Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion for Large and Giant Aneurysms: A Single Center Cohort of 146 Patients.[…]

Complications in Stent-Assisted Endovascular Therapy of Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms and Relevance to Antiplatelet Administration: A Systematic Review.

Posted on by Francesco Diana

Ryu CW1, Park S2, Shin HS3, Koh JS3. Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Despite the increasing use of stent-assisted coiling for ruptured intracranial aneurysms, there is little consensus regarding the appropriate antiplatelet administration for this. The objectives of this systematic review were to provide an overview of complications and their association with the method of antiplatelet Read more about Complications in Stent-Assisted Endovascular Therapy of Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms and Relevance to Antiplatelet Administration: A Systematic Review.[…]
