Aneurysm
In patients with unruptured ophthalmic artery (OphA) aneurysms, the balloon occlusion test (BOT) can be used to predict whether endovascular therapy is likely to result in loss of vision, reports a retrospective study published online June 25, 2015, ahead of print in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery.
Coiling and clipping have become more commonly used to treat patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms in recent years, according to a study published online August 6, 2015, ahead of print in Stroke. While outcomes have mostly improved, the shifts were accompanied by a slight increase in the rate of subarachnoid hemorrhage.…
Endovascular treatment of ruptured blisterlike aneurysms achieves high rates of occlusion and good long-term neurological outcomes, according to results from a meta-analysis presented on July 30, 2015, at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery meeting in San Francisco, CA.…
The first study, published online July 21, 2015, showed that in-Pipeline stenosis occurs more often in anterior carotid artery aneurysms and when aspirin is not prescribed, but is often benign. The second study, published July 4, 2015, concluded that ophthalmic artery patency is most often maintained after treatment with Pipeline, though it is important to minimize the number of devices used across the artery.…
Two studies presented at the recent Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery meeting, held July 27-30, 2015, in San Francisco, CA, provide new data that help define the role of intracranial stenting in certain challenging patient subsets.…
