Comaneci-Assisted Coiling of Wide-Necked Intracranial Aneurysm: A Single-Center Preliminary Experience.

Background: Wide-necked aneurysms remain challenging for both coiling and microsurgical clipping. They often require additional techniques to prevent coil prolapse into the parent artery, such as balloon- and stent-assisted coiling. Comaneci is an expandable and removable stent that acts as a bridging device and does not interfere with the blood flow of the parent artery.

Flow Diversion for Acutely Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms Treatment: A Retrospective Study and Literature Review.

Objective: Flow diversion is becoming an increasingly established practice for the treatment of acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysms. In this study the authors present a literature review and meta-analysis, adding a retrospective review of institutional registry on emergency treatment of aRIA with flow diverter stent.

Materials And Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, SCOPUS, Ovid MEDLINE, and Ovid EMBASE was performed on April 20, 2021, extrapolating 35 articles.

Ruptured Proximal Anterior Cerebral Artery Aneurysm Treated with Flow Diverter.

Aim: To discuss the use of flow modulation in treating ruptured aneurysms of the proximal segment of the anterior cerebral artery (A1 aneurysms). A1 aneurysms are rare, constituting approximately 1% of all intracranial aneurysms.

Case Report: We report a left A1 aneurysm with a wide neck and small sac (3 × 1.

Twenty Years of Experience in Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma (JNA) Preoperative Endovascular Embolization: An Effective Procedure with a Low Complications Rate.

Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a benign tumor of the nasal cavity that predominantly affects young boys. Surgical removal remains the gold standard for the management of this disease. Preoperative intra-arterial embolization (PIAE) is useful for reductions in intraoperative blood loss and surgical complications.

European Multicenter Study of ET-COVID-19.

Background And Purpose: Acute ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion can be concurrent with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large vessel occlusion in patients with COVID-19 are substantially unknown. Our aim was to study early outcomes after MT in patients with COVID-19.

Emergency endovascular treatment of cavernous internal carotid artery acute bleeding with flow diverter stent: a single-center experience.

Background And Objective: To describe our single-center experience in the treatment of cavernous internal carotid artery (ICA) acute bleeding with flow diverter stent (FDS), as a single endovascular procedure or combined with an endoscopic endonasal approach.

Methods: We analyze a case series of 5 patients with cavernous ICA acute bleeding, i.e.

Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke Beyond 6 Hours From Onset: A Real-World Experience.

Background And Purpose: To evaluate outcome and safety of endovascular treatment beyond 6 hours of onset of ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation, in routine clinical practice.

Methods: From the Italian Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy, we extracted clinical and outcome data of patients treated for stroke of known onset beyond 6 hours. Additional inclusion criteria were prestroke modified Rankin Scale score ≤2 and ASPECTS score ≥6.

Comaneci-Assisted Coiling Embolization of a Posttraumatic Carotid-Cavernous Fistula.

Background: A direct carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is a rare complication that typically occurs in closed head injuries. The balloon-assisted occlusion is the most used treatment. However, this technique requires multiple inflation/deflations, which could be problematic in a vessel with acute vessel injury.

The Role of Interventional Oncology in the Management of Lung Cancer.

Interventional radiological procedures for diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer have become increasingly important. Imaging-guided percutaneous biopsy has become the modality of choice for diagnosing lung cancer, and in the era of target therapies, it is an useful tool to define earlier patient-specific tumor phenotypes. In functionally inoperable patients, especially the ablative procedures are potentially curative alternatives to surgery.
