Open Microsurgical Versus Endovascular Management of Unruptured and Ruptured Brain Aneurysms.

Open microsurgical and endovascular techniques are the 2 primary strategies for treating intracranial aneurysms. Microsurgical clipping and adjuvant technical maneuvers are well-established techniques with a track record for high occlusion rates and durable repairs. Endovascular, endosaccular, and extrasaccular therapies are associated with lower peri-procedural morbidity but with generally higher rates of retreatment.

The Management of Symptomatic Moyamoya Disease in Pediatric Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background And Objectives: The optimal management strategy for pediatric patients with symptomatic moyamoya disease (MMD) is not well established. This systematic review and meta-analysis compares surgical vs conservative management and direct/combined bypass (DB/CB) vs indirect bypass (IB) for pediatric patients with symptomatic MMD.

Methods: MEDLINE and PubMed were searched from inception to March 17, 2024.

Onyx dilution reduces time to resolution of chronic subdural hematomas after middle meningeal artery embolization.

Background: The benefit of distal embolite penetration for middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization in chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) remains controversial.

Objective: To compare the use of diluted Onyx with undiluted Onyx in the management of cSDH.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients with cSDH who underwent MMA embolization using Onyx 18 at our institution.
