Background: Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) is a rare arteriovenous malformation with potentially severe complications. This study investigates the efficacy and safety of transarterial embolization (TAE) in treating petrous dAVFs through a retrospective analysis and literature review.
Case Description: A retrospective analysis of six patients with petrous dAVFs treated with TAE was conducted, accompanied by a systematic literature review to evaluate treatment outcomes.
Background: Intracranial aneurysms have a prevalence of 1-6% and significant rupture risks, leading to high morbidity and mortality. Endovascular therapy demands an understanding of its economic impacts. This study evaluates the costs and complications of unruptured intracranial aneurysm treatment in a private Latin American hospital.

- Residual intracranial aneurysms treated with clips or coils may have varying risks of rupture, and this study uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze hemodynamic changes before and after treatment.
- Six aneurysms were examined, and post-treatment results showed significant reductions in aneurysm size and volume, with most cases indicating lower areas of low wall shear stress (WSS), which may signify reduced rupture risk.
- While unruptured aneurysms demonstrated an increase in average WSS, the presence of increased WSS in all parameters, particularly in one case, suggests a potentially higher risk of rupture, indicating the need for careful monitoring of such cases.
Sequential Hemodynamic Analysis of Ruptured Posterior Communicating Artery Aneurysms Treated With Coil Embolization and Delayed Flow Diversion.

Background And Objectives: Computational fluid dynamics has advanced our knowledge of the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysms and the dynamic changes observed after treatment. Herein, we analyze hemodynamic changes throughout the intervention stages for ruptured posterior communicating artery (PComA) aneurysms, treated with acute coiling and delayed flow diversion (FD).
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of ruptured PComA aneurysms treated with the acute coiling and delayed FD strategy between June 2013 to November 2022, using 3-dimensional reconstructions of digital subtraction angiographies.
Objective: To verify the association between sociodemographic, clinical, environmental, cognitive, and emotional factors and the decision time of people with ischemic stroke to seek a health service after the onset of symptoms or wake up stroke.
Method: Cross-sectional study carried out from March to October 2019, with 304 patients, in a public hospital, a reference in neurology. Data obtained through interview and from medical records.
