Robotic-assisted intracranial aneurysm treatment: 1 year follow-up imaging and clinical outcomes.

Background: The use of robotics in medicine may enable increased technical accuracy, reduced procedural time and radiation exposure, and remote completion of procedures. We have previously described the first-in-human, robotic-assisted cerebral aneurysm treatment using the CorPath GRX Robotic System. In this report we discuss our early experiences and outcomes using this robotic device for endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using stent-assisted coil embolization and flow diversion.

When Two Is Better than One : The Buddy-wire Technique in Flow-diversion Procedures.

Background: Delivery of most flow diverters (FD) requires larger, and thus stiffer microcatheters (0.021-0.027in.

Embolization strategies for intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas with an isolated sinus: a single-center experience in 20 patients.

Background: Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) draining into an isolated sinus segment constitute a specific entity within the spectrum of cranial dural AV shunts, with under-reporting of their optimal treatment.

Objective: To describe the multimodal treatment approach to isolated sinus DAVFs in a large single-center cohort.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of adult patients with an isolated sinus DAVF treated at our institution between 2004 and 2020 was performed.

Cerebral contrast staining mimicking parenchymal haemorrhage in a stroke patient.

A 75-year-old female patient presented with signs and symptoms of a right hemispheric syndrome. A CT scan of the brain with angiogram showed an acute infarct in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory secondary to thromb-occlusion of the M1 segment of the right MCA. A follow-up CT scan 2 weeks later showed a large hyperdense region in the infarcted area.

Extramedullary multiple myeloma with central nervous system and multiorgan involvement: Case report and literature review.

Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy due to monoclonal plasma cell proliferation. It is usually confined to the bone marrow, although extramedullary involvement is known to occur in almost any organ system; myelomatous spread to the central nervous system is a rare manifestation of myeloma. Extramedullary disease is thought to be related to hematogenous spread when myeloma cells show decreased cell surface receptor expression, allowing cells to escape from the bone marrow.
