Association of Tumor Volumetry with Postoperative Outcomes for Cervical Paraganglioma.

To analyze the association of tumor volume with outcome after surgery for cervical paraganglioma. This retrospective study included consecutive patients undergoing surgery for cervical paraganglioma from 2009-2020. Outcomes were 30-day morbidity, mortality, cranial nerve injury, and stroke.

Open Surgical Thrombendarterectomy Versus Endovascular Treatment in Occlusive Processes of the Femoral Artery Bifurcation.

Background: The standard treatment of occlusive processes of the femoral artery bifurcation is thrombendarterectomy (TEA). Endovascular techniques (ENDO) have recently been put forward as a potential alternative. It is unclear so far which modality yields better outcomes with respect to long-term revascularization and periprocedural complications.

Perioperative functional imaging after extracranial carotid endarterectomy for the detection of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome.

Introduction: SyngoDynaPBVNeuro® is a tool to perform cerebral blood volume (CBV) measurements intraoperatively by functional imaging producing CT-like images. Aim of this prospective study was to analyze the clinical relevance and benefit of CBV measurement with regard to neurological complications like cerebral hyperfusion syndrome (CHS).

Methods: Forty-five patients undergoing endarterectomy (CEA) of the internal carotid artery were included; functional imaging with CBV measurement was performed before and after CEA.
