Aneurysm
Patients who undergo testing for responsiveness to aspirin and clopidogral prior to stent-assisted coiling for unruptured aneurysms face a lower risk of thrombotic complications as well as of permanent morbidity or mortality, according to a single-center analysis published online September 20, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery.
Researchers have pinpointed several factors linked to the need for shunting following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) as well as the likelihood of a poor outcome, according to a new study published online September 15, 2016, ahead of print in Stroke.…
Use of flow diverters for carotid siphon aneurysms can affect the flow through the posterior communicating artery if the stent covers the artery ostium, particularly when P1/posterior communicating artery flow ratio size is large. There do not appear to be any clinical sequelae to this flow change, however, according to a study published online July 7, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery.…
The Pipeline device is a safe and effective treatment for intracranial aneurysms no more than 7 mm in diameter, according to results from a multicenter review said to be the first of its kind. Complication rates appear to be similar to those seen with traditional endovascular techniques.…
Key clinical features can help predict outcome, both preoperatively and following endovascular therapy, among patients with poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), according to 2 new prognostic models.…
