[Development of Deep Venous Thrombosis Shortly after Neurological Surgery].

Little is known about the incidence and characteristics of deep venous thrombosis(DVT)developing shortly after neurological surgery. Lower extremity venous ultrasound scanning was performed before and after surgery, and retrospective data of 157 surgical cases, including endovascular surgery(42.0%), craniotomy(28.

Cerebral aneurysm neck diameter is an independent predictor of progressive occlusion after stent-assisted coiling.

Background: Some intracranial aneurysms treated by stent-assisted coiling (SAC) with incomplete occlusion undergo progressive occlusion (PO) during follow-up period. We analyzed the predictors for the occurrence of PO.

Methods: Among 74 cerebral aneurysms treated by SAC using the Enterprise or Neuroform stents from 2010 to 2015, we included 43 aneurysms with occlusion grade of neck remnant (NR, n = 36) or residual aneurysm (RA, n = 7) at the post-procedure.

Double balloon protection during carotid artery stenting for vulnerable carotid stenosis reduces the incidence of new brain lesions.

Background: The use of distal filter protection alone is associated with a high risk of ischemic complications when vulnerable carotid stenosis is treated by carotid artery stenting (CAS). Double balloon protection, a combination of distal balloon protection and proximal balloon occlusion, can be utilized. We assessed the outcome and complications of the double balloon protection method for vulnerable carotid stenosis.
