Aneurysms that recur or leak after being treated with endovascular coiling can safely and effectively be salvaged with clipping, according to new data published online February 19, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of Neurosurgery
Flow diverter therapy for the treatment of intracranial aneurysm using pipeline flow diversion is associated with an increased rate of delayed fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), according to a study published online January 28, 2016, ahead of print in Stroke…
Despite the large size of its catheter and coils, the Penumbra Coil 400 (PC400) system can safely and effectively be used to treat small intracranial aneurysms, according to research published online January 20, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery…
Results after repair of intracranial aneurysms—whether ruptured or unruptured—has improved in recent decades, despite the fact that more high-risk patients are undergoing treatment. The same positive signs are seen with both open surgical and endovascular approaches, researchers reported online February 2, 2016, ahead of print in Stroke…
