Background And Purpose: We report the results of intra-arterial injection of lidocaine in the middle meningeal artery in patients with intractable headache or status migrainosus.
Methods: We treated four patients with intra-arterial lidocaine (2 mg/ml) in doses up to 50 mg in each middle meningeal artery via a microcatheter bilaterally (except in one patient). In two patients with intractable headache, the daily maximum intensity of headache (graded by 11-point numeric rating scale) was recorded for 7 days postprocedure.
Background And Purpose: Although femoral neuropathy is recognized as an adverse consequence following transfemoral neuroendovascular procedures, no reliable estimates are available. We analyzed data from a prospective registry to ascertain the frequency and characteristics of femoral neuropathy following transfemoral neuroendovascular procedures.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent neuroendovascular procedures through the transfemoral route were included.
Background: We performed this study to identify demographic, clinical, and angiographic characteristics of adult patients with angiographically confirmed vertebral artery occlusive disease (VAOD) and associated risk factors.
Methods: The demographic and clinical characteristics, and angiographic features were ascertained using predefined criteria. Controls were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys matched according to age, sex, and ethnicity.
