Aneurysm
Appearance of the white-collar sign (WCS), a thick neointimal tissue band at the aneurysm neck, predicts better outcomes after endovascular coil embolization of cerebral aneurysms, according to research published online May 13, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of Neurosurgery. The study authors suggest that the presence of WCS could be useful for prognostic assessment.
Over the long-term, Medicare expenditures are higher for surgical clipping than for endovascular coiling of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, according to an analysis published online May 20, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of Neurosurgery…
Irregular shape is a significant risk factor for rupture of saccular intracranial aneurysms independent of location and patient characteristics. Importantly, even small aneurysms may have a considerable risk of rupture if they are irregular in shape, according to a registry study published in the May 2016 issue of Stroke…
A study investigating 1-year outcomes among patients with anterior circulation aneurysms treated with the Pipeline embolization device identified multiple factors associated with treatment failure. The findings were published online May 6, 2016, ahead of print in the Journal of Neurosurgery…
Good results that compare favorably with clipping and coiling have been reported by two European centers using a novel device for the treatment of wide-necked intracranial bifurcation aneurysms. Their findings were published online April 13, 2016, in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery and April 15, 2016, in the Journal of Neurosurgery…
