Endovascular Management of Superior Cerebellar Artery Aneurysms: Mid and Long-Term Results.

Aim: Superior cerebellar artery (SCA) aneurysms are uncommon vascular lesions, thus data about their presentation and clinical management are limited. Our aim was to determine clinical presentation, angiographic findings and mid and long-term clinical and imaging results of endovascular treatment of 49 patients with SCA aneurysm.

Material And Methods: Forty-nine patients with SCA aneurysms underwent endovascular treatment (25 female, 24 male; mean age 46.

Flow diverter as a rescue therapy for a complicated basilar angioplasty.

Intracranial atherosclerotic disease is a major cause of ischemic stroke. Stenting and aggressive medical management for preventing recurrent stroke in intracranial stenosis was terminated prematurely due to a high stroke and death rate in patients randomized for intracranial stent placement. However, for some patients, angioplasty and/or stent placement remains the best approach.

Are hepatic portal venous system components distributed equally in the liver? A multidetector computerized tomography study.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the relationships between the splenic index, right and left hepatic lobe volumes, diameters of splenic vein (SV), superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and the portal vein (PV) by Multidetector Computerized Tomography (MDCT). We also investigated indirect signs of portal venous flow pattern using these parameters.

Material And Methods: Following their contrast thoracoabdominal and abdominal 64-MDCT examinations, the images of 100 cases (61 males and 39 females) were evaluated retrospectively.

The incidence of left atrial diverticula in coronary CT angiography.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to characterize the frequency and location of left atrial diverticula by using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).

Materials And Methods: Cardiac imaging was performed for 454 patients using 64MDCT. Most patients were being examined for coronary artery disease.
