Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how different methods of injecting contrast media can optimize flow rates, which affects the speed and ease of manual injections.
  • It compares 100% contrast solutions, mixed contrast with saline, and a layered "Parfait" method, both at room temperature and after heating.
  • Results show that both Parfait and mixed contrast solutions achieve significantly higher flow rates than 100% contrast, and heating the solutions enhances flow rates even further.

Background And Purpose: A single-aspiration maneuver using a large-volume syringe is a common and effective technique for aspiration thrombectomy. Multiple aspiration cycles using large aspiration syringes have been proposed as a means to improve the efficacy over single aspiration. In this study, we sought to investigate the efficacy of a "triple aspiration technique" in which a large-volume syringe is cycled 3 times before catheter retraction during aspiration thrombectomy.

Objective: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) are uncommon and represent 5%-12% of all intracranial dAVFs. SSS dAVFs can be divided into two main subtypes. The first type involves direct arterialization of the SSS, whereas the second type consists of a parasagittal arteriovenous shunt draining into a cortical vein directly lateral to the SSS and has retrograde cortical venous drainage with only secondary involvement of the SSS.

Background: Remarkable interest is rising around middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) as an emerging alternative therapy for chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH). The study aims to highlight a large center experience and the variables associated with treatment failure and build experimental machine learning (ML) models for outcome prediction.

Material And Methods: A 2-year experience in MMAE for managing patients with chronic subdural hematoma was analyzed.
