Intraoperative initial intracranial pressure demonstrates high diagnostic efficacy for postoperative intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction following severe traumatic brain injury.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors and their diagnostic efficacy for postoperative intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction (IBD) following severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI).

Methods: There were 140 patients with sTBI enrolled in this study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between the clinical data and postoperative IBD in sTBI patients and determine the independent risk factors.

Traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula with perimedullary venous drainage and delayed myelopathy: A case report.

Traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula (TCCF) with perimedullary venous drainage and delayed myelopathy is a relatively rare clinical lesion. Endovascular embolization using embolic agents is the preferred treatment for patients with a poor collateral circulation. The present study describes the case of a 45-year-old male with TCCF, who presented with progressive cervical myelopathy for 1 month.

Giant aneurysm of the bilateral vertebrobasilar junction treated by pipeline and coils: A case report and literature review.

Giant aneurysm of the posterior circulation is associated with a higher risk of rupture compared with that of the anterior circulation. Furthermore, surgical clipping and interventional embolization for giant aneurysm of the posterior circulation are more difficult and complex to perform. The present study reported on the case of a 26-year-old female who exhibited a giant spherical aneurysm of the vertebrobasilar junction (VBJ) with a maximum diameter of ~35 mm that caused cervical discomfort.

Efficacy and Safety of Low-Dose Tirofiban for Acute Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis Related Occlusion with Residual Stenosis after Endovascular Treatment.

Background: The optimal treatment strategy for residual stenosis in patients with acute intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis related occlusion (ICAS-O) after endovascular treatment (EVT) is unknown. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose tirofiban in patients with residual stenosis after EVT due to acute ICAS-O.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with residual stenosis after EVT due to acute ICAS-O from March 2015 to May 2019.
