Background And Purpose: This animal study was designed to evaluate in vivo the acute and short-term safety and efficacy of the new Artisse intrasaccular device (ISD) for aneurysm occlusion and to gain knowledge about the behavior in the aneurysms.
Materials And Methods: The device was implanted in 7 white New Zealand rabbits with bifurcation aneurysms. Immediate and 90-day angiographic follow-up as well as histologic and scanning electron microscope imaging were evaluated.
Article Synopsis
- Allergic reactions and angioedema are significant conditions in emergency care, affecting patient management.
- A study evaluated maximum lysis (ML) using thromboelastometry in patients with immunologic reactions, measuring ML at admission and two hours later.
- Results showed that patients still experiencing symptoms after two hours had higher ML than those who were asymptomatic, indicating a potential link between symptom persistence and changes in ML.
Background: Biomarkers of fibrinolysis are elevated during acute immunologic reactions (allergic reactions and angioedema), although it is unclear whether fibrinolysis is associated with disease severity.
Objectives: We investigated a possible association between maximum lysis (ML) measured by thromboelastography and the severity of acute immunologic reactions.
Methods: We recruited patients with acute immunologic reactions at a high-volume emergency department.
Background: Endovascular treatment of intracranial vascular diseases, such as aneurysms, is often challenged by unfavorable vascular anatomy. The Bendit Steerable Microcatheter (Bendit Technologies, Tel Aviv, Israel) has bending and torqueing capabilities designed to improve navigation and stability during device delivery, with or without a guidewire. We describe our preclinical experience with the Bendit 17 and Bendit 21 microcatheters in a rabbit aneurysm model.

Methods: Fifteen New Zealand White rabbits were treated 3 days prior to intervention and until euthanization with dual antiplatelets. DiVeRt was implanted in bilateral carotid aneurysms (n=30) as well as in the aorta (n=15).
