A Systematic Review of Neuropsychological Outcomes After Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a cause of profound morbidity and mortality. Its effects extend beyond functional neurological status to neurocognitive and psychological functioning. Endovascular treatment is becoming more prevalent after increasing evidence for its safety and efficacy; however, there is a relative paucity of evidence specific to neurocognitive status after treatment.

Clipping coiling: A critical re-examination of a decades old controversy.

Background: Two major studies, The International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial and the Barrow Ruptured Aneurysm Trial, compare the long-term outcomes of clipping and coiling. Although these demonstrated coiling's initial benefits, rebleeding and retreatment rates as well as converging patient outcomes sparked controversy regarding its durability. This article will critically examine the available evidence for and against clipping and coiling of intracranial aneurysms.

Value of computed tomography scores in complicated acute diverticulitis.

Background: Diverticular disease remains one of the most common conditions in the western world. Up to 25% of patients with diverticular disease require hospitalization, 15-30% of those of which require surgical intervention. CT scoring systems have been proposed as means to drive assessment and stratify patients necessitating hospital intervention.

Y Stent Rendezvous to Treat Symptomatic Innominate Artery Stenosis.

A male in his 60s presented with transient ischemic attacks 5 years after aortic arch branch graft repair for type A aortic dissection. Computed tomographic angiography demonstrated 80% stenosis of the brachiocephalic artery close to the origins of the right common carotid and subclavian arteries. The case was reviewed at our multidisciplinary aortic meeting and a plan for endovascular management was made.

STABILISE; treatment of aortic dissection, a single Centre experience.

Purpose: To outline the process of the STABILISE technique and its use; reporting patient outcomes and midterm follow up for complicated aortic dissection.

Materials And Methods: Single centre retrospective analysis from January 2011 to January 2021 using the STABILISE technique which utilises balloon assistance to facilitate intimal disruption and promote aortic relamination.

Results: Sixteen patients underwent endovascular aortic repair with the STABILISE technique for aortic dissection over the study period.

Ultrasound-guided portal vein puncture during Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt: Technique and experience of a quaternary liver transplant hospital.

Introduction: Portal hypertension (PH) is associated with complications including refractory ascites and variceal haemorrhage and can be treated endovascularly with a Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS). Portal vein puncture during TIPS using real-time transabdominal ultrasound guidance is one of many portal vein puncture techniques and is seldom used compared with other methods. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe this technique and its associated procedural outcomes at a quaternary liver transplant hospital.

Contemporary Treatment of Intracranial Blood Blister Aneurysms - A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Blood blister aneurysms (BBAs) are rare aneurysms affecting non-branched points of intracerebral arteries. Due to their small size and fragility, BBAs are prone to rupture, and can be challenging to diagnose and treat. Several treatment options have been suggested yet there is no consensus regarding the best modality to reduce morbidity and mortality.

Endovascular Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms Using the Novel Low Profile Visualized Intraluminal Support EVO Stent: Multicenter Early Feasibility Experience.

Purpose: Low-profile, self-expandable stents have broadened therapeutic options available for definitive treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The novel Low-Profile Visualized Intraluminal Support (LVIS) EVO stent extends upon the success of its predecessor, the LVIS Jr stent, aiming to enable higher visibility and greater opening ability within a self-expandable and fully retrievable microstent system. In this study, we aim to report the early safety and feasibility experience with the LVIS EVO stent.

Radiological diagnosis of perinephric pathology: pictorial essay 2015.

Unlabelled: The perinephric space, shaped as an inverted cone, sits between the anterior and posterior renal fasciae. It can play host to a variety of clinical conditions encountered daily in the reporting schedule for a radiologist. Lesions may be classified and diagnosed based on their imaging characteristics, location and distribution.

Massive symptomatic right-sided Bochdalek hernia in an adult man.

A 22-year-old man presented to a rural hospital in Australia with right-sided pleuritic chest pain, right shoulder pain and dyspnoea. The patient had been receiving chronic asthma therapy without improvement. CT of the chest was performed after an abnormal X-ray, incidentally revealing one of the largest documented right-sided diaphragmatic hernias, with left lung compression due to mediastinal shift.
