Aneurysm
The Pipeline flow diverter can be used to safely and permanently repair recurrent or residual intracranial aneurysms, new research shows, whether ruptured or not and regardless of how the aneurysms were treated initially. Results of the single-center study were published online November 25, 2016, in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Medicine.
Using a technique known as “kissing-Y stenting,” researchers in Germany have successfully treated wide-necked intracranial bifurcation aneurysms in a manner that alters vascular angle remodeling to reduce the risk of recurrence. Their findings are published online December 5, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery.…
In patients with giant wide-neck aneurysms of the intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) that are uncoilable or have failed treatment, flow diversion with the Pipeline embolization device results in vascular remodeling that improves occlusion over time, according to a prospective study published online October 14, 2016, in the Journal of Neurosurgery. Importantly, late complication rates were also very low.…
Interventionalists in China have achieved good success treating blood blister-like intracranial aneurysms using Willis covered stents. Their small retrospective analysis was recently published online ahead of print in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery.…
Using flow diversion to treat intracranial aneurysms results in higher-than-expected rates of morbidity and mortality and lower-than-expected rates of complete aneurysmal occlusion, according to results from a prematurely stopped trial published online November 4, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of Neurosurgery.…
