Article Synopsis
- * A retrospective study evaluated the use of BeGraft, a covered stent, in dCCF cases, resulting in successful deployment in all cases without complications, and 75% achieving immediate occlusion.
- * Follow-up confirmed 100% occlusion of the fistula and no complications, suggesting that BeGraft could be a safe and effective alternative for treating dCCF.
Objective: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is still considered a life-threatening medical condition with a high mortality rate, particularly in developing countries. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the angiographic findings of non-traumatic or spontaneous SAH.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 642 health records of patients with non-traumatic SAH over a 10-year period, from 2010 to 2020.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 40 patients, 77.5% showed complete or near-complete occlusion post-procedure, and during long-term follow-ups, 93.8% maintained favorable occlusion status.
- * The results indicated that Y-SAC with LVIS stents significantly improved vessel angles and had a low rate of complications, with 90% of patients achieving good clinical outcomes, highlighting its feasibility and safety for aneurysm treatment.
Objective: Endovascular treatment (EVT) is the primary approach used to treat indirect carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs). In this study, the authors evaluated the immediate and long-term efficacy and safety of different endovascular techniques for indirect CCFs.
Methods: The databases of two endovascular centers were retrospectively reviewed to collect the patients with indirect CCFs treated using endovascular techniques between 2013 and 2023.
Article Synopsis
- Doctors are studying a treatment called dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for patients who have brain aneurysms that have burst.
- They looked at two groups of patients: one that received DAPT and another that did not, to see how safe it was after surgery.
- The results showed that while there were some issues for the DAPT group, like bleeding, it may help reduce other problems, like lack of blood flow to the brain.
