Article Synopsis
  • MMAE (middle meningeal artery embolization) is being investigated as an effective treatment for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH), focusing on its efficiency based on the cause and structure of cSDH.
  • A study with 52 patients treated with MMAE analyzed pre- and post-treatment cSDH thickness and volume using CT imaging, comparing both spontaneous and traumatic cases.
  • Results showed a significant reduction in cSDH thickness and volume for both groups, with spontaneous cases showing more improvement at 6-12 months, suggesting long-term follow-up may be crucial for traumatic cases.

Coil migration poses a significant intraprocedural risk during coil embolization in interventional neuroradiology procedures. In this technical video we describe the technique of removal of errand coils using the low profile Tigertriever-13 device.1 Traditional methods of errant coil retrieval rely on the use of stent retrievers;2 however, these devices are usually too large to fit through smaller inner diameter 0.

Background: Ultrasound has been increasingly used to guide femoral arterial access for neuroendovascular procedures. Its effect on the safety outcomes has yet to be established.

Purpose: The purpose is to determine the effect of ultrasound-guided punctures on femoral access site complications (ASC), and to identify other potential predictors of ASC.

Although rare, cerebral arterial fenestration may present challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Here we present a case of a supraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) fenestration adjacent to an ICA aneurysm, successfully treated with balloon-assisted coil embolization. A female in her 50's presented with an acute subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured left ICA-ophthalmic artery (OA) aneurysm.

Cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula can cause cerebral edema and hemorrhage due to cortical venous reflux and congestion. Understanding complex venous reflux and drainage routes is crucial for treatment planning. Here, we present a case of a cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula with cortical venous reflux via two separate terminations of the telencephalic veins caused by an aplastic basal vein of Rosenthal.
