Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify the optimal sizes for middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysms that are most suitable for treatment with the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device, focusing on aneurysm width and neck dimensions.
  • Using a large retrospective database, the researchers analyzed unruptured MCA bifurcation aneurysms and established ideal cutoff values of 6.1 mm for width and 4.6 mm for neck size regarding treatment effectiveness.
  • Findings indicated that aneurysms smaller than these cutoff values had significantly higher rates of occlusion (93% for width and 90% for neck) and lower retreatment rates compared to larger aneurysms, highlighting the importance of

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to create a predictive calculator to determine the chances of achieving adequate occlusion (Raymond-Roy classification 1 or 2) when using the woven endobridge (WEB) device for intracranial aneurysms, drawing from a large dataset.
  • - Analyzed data from 356 patients across 30 centers worldwide revealed that larger aneurysm neck size and partial thrombosis were linked to lower chances of successful occlusion, while the calculator showed good predictive accuracy.
  • - The newly developed tool offers a valuable resource for clinicians to better estimate the success of using the WEB device in treating intracranial aneurysms, helping to enhance patient care.

Article Synopsis
  • The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is being studied as a new treatment for intracranial aneurysms, particularly its effectiveness for off-label uses which require further investigation.
  • A study of 162 patients utilizing machine learning developed predictive models for successful occlusion after off-label WEB treatment, analyzing various factors linked to outcomes.
  • Findings indicated that larger neck diameter and the presence of daughter sacs significantly predicted poorer occlusion results, emphasizing the need for further validation to refine patient selection and treatment strategies.

Background: Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are complex arteriovenous shunting lesions of the cavernous sinus with diverse clinical presentations. This study aimed to analyze clinical outcomes and differentiate patients treated with conservative observation versus those needing endovascular intervention.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 84 patients with angiographically confirmed CCF was conducted from 2000 to 2022.

Introduction: The mantra "time is brain" cannot be overstated for patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke. This is especially true for those with large vessel occlusions (LVOs) requiring transfer to an endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) capable center. We sought to evaluate the spoke hospital door in-door out (DIDO) times for patients transferred to our hub center for EVT.
