Benefits from Exclusion Treatment of Unruptured Brain Arteriovenous Malformations on Epilepsy in Adults.

Purpose: In approximately 30% of the patients, brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) are revealed by seizures, which may alter the patients' quality of life. Our objective was to evaluate the benefits of exclusion treatment (radiosurgery, embolization and/or surgery) on posttherapeutic epilepsy in bAVM patients without intracranial hemorrhage prior to treatment.

Methods: Our retrospective observational single-center study included all consecutive adult patients with an unruptured bAVM and epilepsy, treated at our institution from 1995 to 2019 and who were followed for at least 1 year.

Delayed Treatment (≥5 Days) by Flow Diversion of Ruptured Blister-Like Cerebral Aneurysms : Case Series of 8 Consecutive Patients.

Background And Purpose: Ruptured blister-like aneurysms (BLAs) are challenging lesions to treat, without any consensus on their management. Few studies have evaluated the safety and effectiveness of flow diverter stents (FDS) for this indication, with promising results. The goal was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a delayed (≥5 days) flow diversion strategy for the treatment of ruptured intracranial BLAs.

Prognosis of treated severe alcoholic hepatitis in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding.

Background & Aims: All trials on severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH) have included patients with "pure" AH, i.e., without concomitant gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB).
