A multicenter study of the efficacy and safety of treatments (endovascular or conservative) in small intracranial aneurysms in Colombia.

Background: The registry of cerebral aneurysms <5 mm, known for their low risk of rupture, is significant, given their high incidence globally. Our study aimed to identify, in small aneurysms (<5 mm), the potential morphological characteristics, risk factors that can predict the risk of rupture, and the risk or benefit of treating them with endovascular or conservative treatment in ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Methods: The medical records of patients with cerebral aneurysms <5 mm were retrospectively reviewed between January 2014 and December 2022 at two neurovascular centers in Colombia.

Prevalence and imaging characteristics of cerebral small vessel disease in a Colombian population aged 40 years and older.

Cerebral small vessel disease is a major contributor to both brain aging and cognitive decline. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of cerebral small vessel disease in a Colombian population over 40 years of age who attended a Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging service for brain MRI between October 2018 and March 2019. This was an observational, cross-sectional and analytical study of 710 adult patients over 40 years of age who attended the Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging service for a brain MRI.

Safety and Efficacy of Endovascular Coils and Non-Flow-Diverting Stents for Management of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms: A Location-Specific Outcomes Analysis.

Introduction: The relationship between the anatomical location of an unruptured saccular aneurysm, the efficacy, and the potential complications associated with coil and non-flow-diverting stents remains poorly documented. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment based on the anatomical position of the unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using an anonymized database of patients who underwent endovascular therapy for UIAs between 2014 and 2021.

The Woven EndoBridge device, an effective and safe alternative endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysm-systematic review.

Purpose: This study is a systematic review about the WEB device and addresses the efficacy and safety of this device for the endovascular treatment of ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Material And Methods: This systematic literature review followed PRISMA-P guidelines and included studies published until 2010. PubMed and ScienceDirect databases were searched, resulting in 22 articles meeting the inclusion criteria.

Validation of three-dimensional printed models of intracranial aneurysms.

Introduction: Three-dimensional (3D) printing has evolved for medical applications as it can produce customized 3D models of devices and implants that can improve patient care. In this study, we aimed to validate the geometrical accuracy of the 3D models of intracranial aneurysms printed using Stereolithography 3D printing technology.

Materials And Methods: To compare the unruptured intracranial aneurysm mesh between the five patients and 3D printed models, we opened the DICOM files in the Sim&Size® simulation software, selected the region of interest, and performed the threshold check.
