Article Synopsis
- * Treatment options include antihypertensive medication, surgical revascularization, and angioplasty, with kidney autotransplantation as an alternative for complex cases.
- * A case study of a 22-year-old woman shows successful kidney autotransplantation led to improved kidney function and controlled blood pressure, highlighting it as a viable solution for severe cases of fibromuscular dysplasia.
Objectives: There is a lack of sufficient evidence regarding the use of extended shelf-life (ExSL) Yttrium-90 ( 90 Y) glass radiomicrospheres in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of ExSL 90 Y glass radiomicrospheres with a personalized treatment approach by analyzing 18 F-FDG PET/CT quantitative parameters [metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG)] separately before and after the treatment.
Methods: A total of 93 radioembolization sessions involving 77 patients were included.
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the overall rates of braid changes associated with flow diverter (FD) treatment for intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Additionally, we sought to provide an overview of the currently reported definitions related to these complications.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted from the inception of relevant literature up to April 2023, encompassing six databases.
Background: The anterior communicating artery (AComm) region is the most common site of intracranial aneurysms, with increased rupture risk compared with other locations. Overall, flow diverters present as a safe and efficacious treatment for intracranial aneurysms, but there is paucity of data for their use in the treatment of unruptured AComm aneurysms. We present the largest multicentric analysis evaluating the outcomes of flow diverters in AComm aneurysm treatment.

- The WEB-IT study assessed the safety and effectiveness of the WEB device in treating wide neck bifurcation aneurysms (WNBAs) over a 5-year period with data from 150 patients.
- Out of the patients, 83 had 5-year imaging follow-up, showing zero rebleeding events and a significant proportion achieving complete (58.1%) or adequate (87.2%) occlusion of their aneurysms.
- The study concluded that the WEB device demonstrated long-term safety and efficacy, with durable occlusion rates and minimal need for retreatment, indicating it is a viable option for managing WNBAs.
