Background: Application of stent-assisted coiling and FD in acute phase of ruptured wide-necked aneurysms is relatively contraindicated due to the potential risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic complications. Scheduled stenting after initial coiling has emerged as an alternative paradigm for ruptured wide-necked aneurysms. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a strategy of staged stent-assisted coiling in acutely ruptured saccular wide-necked intracranial aneurysms compared with conventional early stent-assisted coiling strategy propensity score matching in a high-volume center.

Background Recent evidence suggests that presence of an intracranial arterial thrombus with a hyperdense artery sign (HAS) at noncontrast CT (NCCT) is associated with better response to intravenous alteplase. Patients with HAS may benefit more from combined intravenous alteplase and endovascular treatment (EVT). Purpose To investigate whether HAS at NCCT modifies the treatment effect of adding intravenous alteplase on clinical outcome in patients with acute large-vessel occlusion undergoing EVT.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of two types of coil embolizations—hydrogel coils and bare platinum coils—when used with LVIS stents to treat acutely ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms.
  • After reviewing data from 89 patients using hydrogel coils and 145 using platinum coils, the researchers found no significant differences in immediate postoperative results or follow-up outcomes for both groups.
  • However, the hydrogel coil group had a significantly lower rate of early rebleeding compared to the platinum coil group, suggesting that hydrogel coils may enhance the safety of treating these aneurysms.

Objective: We investigated the safety and efficacy of the Numen coil compared with the Axium coil in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Methods: Because CATCH (Coil Application Trial in China) is a prospective randomized controlled open-label noninferiority trial conducted in 10 centers across China, patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomized 1:1 to either a test group (Numen) or a control group (Axium). The primary outcome was based on successful aneurysm occlusion at 6 months follow-up, whereas secondary outcomes included technical success, the recanalization and retreatment rates, and the rate of serious adverse events (SAEs) at 6 months and 12 months follow-up.
