Midterm follow-up after embolization of intracranial aneurysms proximal to the circle of Willis with the Silk Vista flow diverter: the I-MAMA registry.

Purpose: The aim of this registry was to assess technical success, procedural safety and mid- to long-term follow-up results of the Silk Vista "Mama" (SVM) flow diverter (BALT, Montmorency, France) for the treatment of proximal intracranial aneurysms.

Methods: Between August 2020 and March 2022, data from nine Italian neurovascular centres were collected. Data included patients' clinical presentation, aneurysms' size, location and status, technical details, overall complications and mid- to long-term angiographic follow-up.

Endovascular treatment of acute arteriosclerotic vertebrobasilar occlusion: A single center experience.

Objectives: Few experiences on vertebrobasilar occlusion over underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease have been reported in literature and the optimal strategy on how to perform a mechanical thrombectomy is unclear. The aim of this paper is to bring our experience based on patients admitted with acute vertebrobasilar occlusion with underlying atheromatous lesions.

Materials And Methods: Several data were collected from August 2009 to October 2022 including clinical history, pre- and post-treatment neurological objectivity, diagnostic images and angiographic procedural images, and clinical outcome at 6 months.

Low-Dose Occupational Exposure to Ionizing Radiation and Cardiovascular Effects: A Narrative Review.

Historically, non-cancer diseases have not been considered a health risk following low-dose exposure to ionizing radiation. However, it is now well known that high-dose ionizing radiation causes cardiovascular disease, and emerging epidemiological evidence suggests an excess risk of non-cancer diseases even following exposure to lower doses of ionizing radiation than previously thought. In fact, the evidence is strongest for cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Colo-colic intussusception in an adult caused by lipoma: Case report of a rare condition.

This report describes the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented at the emergency room with a 3-week history of severe, intermittent abdominal pain. A CT scan revealed colo-colic intussusception caused by a large, substenosing mass with predominant adipose density. Subsequent endoscopic examination with biopsy revealed a necrotic tissue covering the mass, without definitive histological characterization.
