Article Synopsis
- The study investigates spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs), focusing on how patients' symptoms are often misattributed to other conditions, leading to delayed treatment.
- Researchers reviewed medical records from 2006 to 2018 to analyze the demographics, diagnostic history, and outcomes of 46 patients treated for SDAVFs.
- Findings revealed that 35% of patients faced misdiagnosis, resulting in longer symptom durations and poorer motor and urinary function post-treatment, highlighting the need for timely and accurate diagnosis to improve patient outcomes.
Introduction: The low-profile Neuroform Atlas stent received FDA Humanitarian Device Exemption status (HDE) in January 2018 for stent-assisted coil embolization of wide-necked saccular aneurysms. We review and report our results with the Atlas stent in our institution within the first year after its HDE approval.
Methods: Our retrospective chart review identified patients treated with the Atlas stent.
Background And Purpose: Patient selection is important to determine the best candidates for endovascular stroke therapy. In application of a hyperacute magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol for patient selection, we have shown decreased utilization with improved outcomes. A cost analysis comparing the pre- and post-MRI protocol time periods was performed to determine if the previous findings translated into cost opportunities.

Delivery wire fracture of flow-diverter stents are rare but have been described. We describe a video case of a successful technique to retrieve such a fractured delivery wire by using a balloon microcatheter and the intermediate catheter when other proven methods may fail.
