Stent-assisted coil emboilization of ruptured intracranial aneurysms: A retrospective multicenter review.

Background: The purpose of this study is to retrospectively review our experience with stent-assisted embolization of patients with an acutely ruptured cerebral aneurysm.

Methods: Medical records and imaging were reviewed for 36 patients who underwent stent-assisted embolization of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm.

Results: Seventeen patients (47%) received a preprocedural loading dose of clopidogrel and five patients (14%) received an intraprocedural dose of clopidogrel.

Visual complications after stent-assisted endovascular embolization of paraophthalmic and suprasellar variant superior hypophyseal aneurysms: the Duke Cerebrovascular Center experience in 57 patients.

Objective: To review retrospectively experience with stent-assisted coiling of ophthalmic segment internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms to report outcome data and identify the rate of associated visual complications.

Methods: The Duke endovascular database was retrospectively reviewed to identify all ICA aneurysms treated with stent-assisted embolization between November 2002 and October 2009. Only aneurysms arising from the ophthalmic segment of the ICA and originating from the paraophthalmic or suprasellar variant superior hypophyseal artery were included.

Adjuvant treatment for stage IIIC endometrial cancer: options and controversies.

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy. Locally advanced and high risk endometrial cancer encompasses a heterogeneous group of patients and optimal treatment for various sub-groups of these patients remains controversial. Stage IIIC is the most common sub-stage of patients with locally advanced endometrial carcinoma.

Thromboembolic complications after Neuroform stent-assisted treatment of cerebral aneurysms: the Duke Cerebrovascular Center experience in 235 patients with 274 stents.

Background: The Neuroform Stent has facilitated the endovascular treatment of wide-necked cerebral aneurysms. It is unknown which factors pose risks of thromboembolic events after stent placement.

Objective: This series is the largest single-center study reporting on the incidence of and factors influencing thromboembolic complications after Neuroform stent placement.
