Aneurysm
Not all patients undergoing coil embolization for unruptured intracranial aneurysms require monitoring in the intensive care unit (ICU) after the procedure, according to results published online July 5, 2016, in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery
Both internal trapping and stent-assisted coiling are equally good options for the endovascular management of intradural vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms, according to a meta-analysis published online May 24, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery…
Among elderly patients treated for unruptured cerebral aneurysms, clipping and coiling offer similar rates of readmission as well as of short- and long-term mortality, but clipping is associated with a higher rate of discharge to a rehabilitation facility and a longer length of stay. The findings were published online May 20, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of Neurosurgery.…
In patients with ruptured saccular aneurysms, short-term use of ε- aminocaproic acid (EACA) before endovascular therapy does not appear to affect the likelihood either preinterventional hemorrhage or thromboembolic events but may increase the need for shunt, according to findings published online June 17, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of Neurosurgery.…
Among patients who undergo microvascular clipping or endovascular coiling of unruptured aneurysms, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) reveals a similarly low lesion load in each group. The frequency of each lesion type, however, differs by treatment approach, according to findings published online May 20, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of Neurosurgery...…
