Article Synopsis
  • * A systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that 4D-MRA has a very high sensitivity of 98.2% and a specificity of 88.2% compared to DSA for detecting SDAVFs.
  • * The findings suggest that 4D-MRA can accurately locate SDAVFs and potentially streamline the diagnostic process, reducing patient discomfort and procedural risks associated with DSA.

Introduction: Large and Giant intracranial aneurysms (LGIAs) have become the paradigm for which endovascular techniques do not provide satisfactory results. Yet, microsurgery is followed by non-negligible rates of morbimortality. This scenario may have changed since the introduction of flow-diversion devices.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of different treatment options for ruptured intracranial aneurysms, focusing on long-term outcomes, complications, and cost-effectiveness, due to existing uncertainties in treatment practices.
  • It will involve 880 adult patients over a 10-year period, assessing their health using the modified Rankin Scale at various points, with the goal to determine if clip-reconstruction is as effective as endovascular treatment.
  • The research aims to address the lack of consensus on optimal treatment strategies, potentially leading to improved standards of care for patients suffering from subarachnoid haemorrhage.

The goal of this project is to explore the views, expectations and preferences of patients with an unruptured intracranial aneurysm regarding the use of AR in patient education. To gain an in-depth understanding of the patients' perspective, a face-to-face interview study was conducted using an interview protocol with a predefined topic list. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim afterwards.
