Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the technical success and safety of the Silk Vista (SV) device for treating intracranial aneurysms across multiple institutions.
- It reviewed data from 57 procedures involving 60 aneurysms, showing high success rates in device opening (91%) and complete wall apposition (92%).
- The findings indicated that the SV device is both feasible and technically safe, with a low rate of complications and no reported mortality.
The anterior skull base (ASB) is intimately associated with the unique soft tissue subtypes of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, orbits, and intracranial compartment. Pathology involving the ASB is rare but the causes are manifold and can be broadly subdivided into those intrinsic to the skull base and processes extending from below or above. Sinonasal pathology is the most commonly encountered and poses significant management challenges that rely heavily on accurate interpretation of the radiological findings.
