Releasing of a Titanium Clamp (Craniofix) Without Mechanical Defect After Craniotomy for Acute Subdural Hemorrhage.

After craniotomy, bone flap fixation can be performed using wires, sutures, microplates, and Craniofix®. Well-margined and fixed bone flaps are important not only for postoperative brain protection but also for esthetics. Herein, we report a case of cranioplasty due to bone flap dislocation by Craniofix® clamp loosening after craniotomy with acute subdural hemorrhage removal.

Analysis of failed mechanical thrombectomy with a focus on technical reasons: Ten years of experience in a single institution.

Objective: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is an effective treatment for patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion. However, recanalization failure rates of interventions were about 20% in literature studies. We report our experience of unsuccessful MT with a focus on technical reasons.
