Background And Purpose: Intracranial aneurysm growth is a significant risk factor for rupture; however, a few aneurysms remain unruptured for long periods, even after growth. Here, we identified hemodynamic features associated with aneurysmal rupture after growth.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed nine middle cerebral artery aneurysms that grew during the follow-up period using computational fluid dynamics analysis.
Article Synopsis
- - Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) often recurs, and this study examines the effects of middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) on treated cases and the timing of this treatment.
- - Out of 72 patients with initially recurring CSDH, those who had a shorter time between first and second recurrences were more likely to experience repeat issues, with 37.5% having a second recurrence.
- - Early MMAE, within 52.4 days after initial surgery, was linked to a higher risk of recurrence and a shorter interval before recurrence compared to patients who were treated later.
