Article Synopsis
- The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is effective for treating intracranial aneurysms, yet the postoperative use of aspirin shows varied practices among clinicians.
- A multicenter study involving 1492 patients compared outcomes between those who took aspirin post-surgery and those who didn't, revealing that aspirin users had better functional outcomes and lower mortality rates but higher rates of retreatment.
- The findings suggest that while aspirin may improve recovery and reduce death rates after WEB treatment, it also increases the likelihood of needing additional procedures, indicating a need for further research on optimal postoperative care.
Background: Cerebral vasospasm is an alarming complication of acute bacterial meningitis with potentially devastating consequences. It is essential for providers to recognize and treat it appropriately. Unfortunately, there is no well-established approach to the management of postinfectious vasospasm, which makes it especially challenging to treat these patients.

The treatment of cerebral aneurysms includes open microsurgical options (e.g., clipping, trapping/bypass) and evolving endovascular techniques.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is a novel intrasaccular flow disruptor tailored for bifurcation aneurysms. We aim to describe the degree of aneurysm occlusion at the latest follow-up, and the rate of complications of aneurysms treated with the WEB device stratified according to rupture status.
Methods: Our data were taken from the WorldWideWeb Consortium, an international multicenter cohort including patients treated with the WEB device.
Background And Purpose: Risk factors for hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic stroke after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are not well established. We conducted a study to determine if prominent angiographic cerebral vascularity following recanalization with thrombectomy (angiographic blush) is associated with hemorrhagic transformation.
Methods: Using the Cornell AcutE Stroke Academic Registry, we identified stroke patients who had thrombectomy and achieved recanalization of anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion between 2012 and 2015.
Pulmonary blastoma--a rare tumor with variable presentation.
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg
February 2006
Background: Pulmonary blastoma is a rare primary lung tumor with poor prognosis that commonly presents at a younger age than the non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Classically they are large, symptomatic tumors with lymph nodal metastasis and carry poor prognosis. We report our experience of 7 patients with pulmonary blastoma who presented with varying clinical features.
