Background And Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of oral administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) on reducing intraoperative bleeding during spinal surgeries.
Method: The study was a single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Participants were individuals over 20 years old who underwent spinal surgery.
Article Synopsis
- * A retrospective study evaluated the use of BeGraft, a covered stent, in dCCF cases, resulting in successful deployment in all cases without complications, and 75% achieving immediate occlusion.
- * Follow-up confirmed 100% occlusion of the fistula and no complications, suggesting that BeGraft could be a safe and effective alternative for treating dCCF.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 40 patients, 77.5% showed complete or near-complete occlusion post-procedure, and during long-term follow-ups, 93.8% maintained favorable occlusion status.
- * The results indicated that Y-SAC with LVIS stents significantly improved vessel angles and had a low rate of complications, with 90% of patients achieving good clinical outcomes, highlighting its feasibility and safety for aneurysm treatment.
Objective: Endovascular treatment (EVT) is the primary approach used to treat indirect carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs). In this study, the authors evaluated the immediate and long-term efficacy and safety of different endovascular techniques for indirect CCFs.
Methods: The databases of two endovascular centers were retrospectively reviewed to collect the patients with indirect CCFs treated using endovascular techniques between 2013 and 2023.
Article Synopsis
- Doctors are studying a treatment called dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for patients who have brain aneurysms that have burst.
- They looked at two groups of patients: one that received DAPT and another that did not, to see how safe it was after surgery.
- The results showed that while there were some issues for the DAPT group, like bleeding, it may help reduce other problems, like lack of blood flow to the brain.
Ipsilateral mydriasis (IM) is usually not acute. However, the acute occurrence of unilateral dilated pupil may result in acute ischemic stroke. Herein, we present 3 patients with IM, lateral eye deviation, ptosis, and contralateral hemiparesis due to isolated occlusion of the pre-communicating segment of the posterior cerebral artery with preservation of the posterior communicating artery, which was successfully treated by emergent mechanical thrombectomy.
