Safety and efficacy of treatment of very small intracranial aneurysms.

Purpose: Very small intracranial aneurysms (VSIAs) may cause many neurological complications and even death. Thanks to technological progress and higher quality of non-invasive neuroimaging methods, these pathologies can be investigated sooner and treated earlier. Due to the controversy surrounding invasive treatment of these pathologies, the aim of the study was to analyse methods of treatment, their outcome, and complications in a group of patients with VSIAs.

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations - usability of Spetzler-Martin and Spetzler-Ponce scales in qualification to endovascular embolisation and neurosurgical procedure.

Purpose: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are connected with cerebral haemorrhage, seizures, increased intracranial pressure, headaches, mass effect, and ischaemia symptoms. Selection of the best treatment method or even deciding if intervention is required can be difficult.

Material And Methods: The study included 50 patients who were diagnosed with cerebral AVMs and treated in our Centre between 2008 and 2014.

Endovascular treatment of small cerebral arteriovenous malformations as a primary therapy.

Purpose: The patient population that would benefit most from endovascular curative treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformations is not clearly established. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of curative embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations with special regard to radiographic and clinical outcomes and procedure-related complications.

Material And Methods: Between January 2009 and December 2014, 18 patients with intracranial arteriovenous malformations were embolized with Onyx with intent to cure.

Endovascular treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms.

Purpose: Complex intracranial aneurysms (CIA) are heterogenous group of intracranial vascular malformations. Due to its giant size, difficult location, broad neck, branches arising from the aneurysm, wall structure, calcification, presence of intraluminal thrombus or previous treatments it requires more careful approach. The aim of this study was to evaluate endovascular treatment results of CIA in our Department.

Endovascular Approach to Glomus Jugulare Tumors.

Background: Paragangliomas are benign neuroendocrine tumors derived from the glomus cells of the vegetative nervous system. Typically, they are located in the region of the jugular bulb and middle ear. The optimal management is controversial and can include surgical excision, stereotactic radiosurgery and embolization.

Progressive regression of intracranial arteriovenous malformations after Onyx embolization.

Progressive regression of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is a rare phenomenon that may occur spontaneously or after previous surgical or endovascular incomplete obliteration. We present two cases of AVMs occluded partially with Onyx followed by the unexpected cure of the lesions with the angiographic evidences as well as multiannual follow-up.

Stent-assisted embolization of wide-neck anterior communicating artery aneurysms: Review of consecutive 34 cases.

Objective: We report our experience with stent-assisted coiling of anterior communicating artery aneurysms with special consideration of angiographic and clinical outcomes, retreatment rate and periprocedural complications.

Materials And Methods: The analysis included 34 consecutive ruptured and unruptured wide-neck aneurysms. The aneurysm size ranged from 2 to 18mm (mean 5.

Stand-alone coil embolization of anterior communicating artery aneurysms: Efficacy and technical issues.

Objective: We report our experience with endovascular coiling of anterior communicating artery aneurysms with special consideration of angiographic and clinical outcomes and periprocedural complications.

Materials And Methods: The analysis included treatment results of 28 patients with ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. The aneurysm size ranged from 1.
