Objective: In this study, we report our experience with the occurrence of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesions following aneurysm treatment with Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device and Contour Neurovascular System in elective settings. We compared both techniques in a retrospective single-center analysis, to investigate whether there are significant differences in the incidence of microemboli depending on the device used.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-two cases treated with Contour were retrospectively compared with 84 WEB cases.
Article Synopsis
- The contour neurovascular system (CNS) is a device used to treat specific types of brain aneurysms, but its metal components interfere with MRI imaging after implantation.
- This study involved creating 3D models of aneurysms and testing different imaging methods, including CTA and MRI, to find effective non-invasive alternatives to the standard digital subtraction angiography (DSA).
- Results showed that focused spectral CTA with metal artifact reduction provided clear imaging similar to DSA, making it a good option for follow-ups, while MRI was limited in assessing critical areas around the aneurysms post-implantation.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the endotracheal tube (ET) and intravenous (IV) administration of epinephrine relative to concentration maximum, time to maximum concentration, mean concentration over time (MC), area under the curve, odds, and time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in a normovolemic pediatric cardiac arrest model.
Methods: Male swine weighing 24-37 kg were assigned to 4 groups: ET (n = 8), IV (n = 7), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) + defibrillation (CPR + Defib) (n = 5), and CPR only (n = 3). Swine were placed arrest for 2 minutes, and then CPR was initiated for 2 minutes.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to examine early degenerative spinal disc changes in elite female CrossFit athletes using advanced 3.0 Tesla MRI technology, comparing them to non-athlete controls.
- The research involved 19 participants, including 9 elite athletes and 10 non-athletes, measuring the prevalence and grading of any spinal disc degeneration.
- The findings revealed that there was no significant increase in degenerative disc disease among the athletes, suggesting that high-volume CrossFit training does not correlate with a higher risk of spinal disc changes.
Introduction: Treatment of basilar apex aneurysms will remain challenging regarding the nobility of the parent vessel and their often wide-necked configuration. With endovascular techniques being the treatment approach of choice, novel intrasaccular flow-disruption devices constitute an endovascular embolization option. In this research, we report our experiences in embolizing basilar tip aneurysms with the novel Contour device.
