Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become an accepted alternative to open aortic aneurysm repair. Endoleaks are one of the most common complications of EVAR and can result in aneurysm enlargement and rupture. When embolization of type 2 endoleaks is needed, a transarterial or translumbar approach may be used. Metal coils are often utilized, but liquid agents have also been used for embolization. This case report involves endoleak embolization using metallic coils along with the liquid embolic agent n-butyl cyanoacrylate (n-BCA).

Background: Intravascular injection of liquid adhesive hemostats is a rare but serious complication that can result in cerebral thromboembolism.
Observations: A 64-year-old female underwent orbitozygomatic craniotomy for posterior communicating artery aneurysm clipping with the routine use of a flowable hemostatic agent during extradural dissection. After placement of the aneurysm clip, flow was confirmed through the parent vessel and nearby branches.

Introduction: Meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system tumors, often requiring surgical resection. Presurgical embolization (PSE) is used to reduce intraoperative bleeding, although its effectiveness varies. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of PSE using ethyl-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) in meningioma surgeries.

Background: The broad use of bedaquiline and pretomanid as the mainstay of new regimens to combat tuberculosis is a risk due to increasing bedaquiline resistance. We aimed to assess the safety, bactericidal activity, and pharmacokinetics of BTZ-043, a first-in-class DprE1 inhibitor with strong bactericidal activity in murine models.
Methods: This open-label, dose-expansion, randomised, controlled, phase 1b/2a trial was conducted in two specialised tuberculosis sites in Cape Town, South Africa.

Background And Purpose: Embolization is the first-line treatment for dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF). The precipitating hydrophobic injectable liquid (PHIL) embolic agent is a non-adhesive copolymer with specific features and endovascular behavior. This study assessed its safety and efficacy in a prospective real-life cohort.
