Unlabelled: Aneurysm occlusion with microcoils is an effective and safe procedure. However, bifurcation aneurysms usually have a wide neck, and their occlusion is still a difficult objective.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bifurcation stents in the treatment of basilar bifurcation aneurysms.
Article Synopsis
- The external ventricular drain (EVD) is commonly used in neurosurgery to manage issues like impaired cerebrospinal fluid circulation and intracranial hypertension, especially in cases of acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
- A study at the Burdenko Neurosurgical Center involving 645 patients aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of EVD in post-microsurgery scenarios and included various assessments like hemorrhage severity and potential complications.
- Results focused on comparing the use of EVD versus decompressive craniectomy, the incidence of EVD-related infections, and the need for additional interventions post-EVD, ultimately assessing patient outcomes upon discharge.
