Purpose: We present a series of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from ruptured intracranial aneurysms who were treated with endovascular embolization by detachable coils.
Materials And Methods: There were 108 patients with SAH treated with endovascular coiling. The efficacy of the endovascular coiling was estimated by initial postembolization angiography and by digital subtraction angiography after 6 months, using the following categories: complete occlusion of an aneurysm (98%-100%), near-complete occlusion (90%-98%), and incomplete occlusion (<90%).
Results: In 42 (39%) patients the endovascular coiling was performed during the fi rst 72 h after SAH, and 48 (44%) patients had aneurysms <10 mm in diameter. The most frequent location of ruptured aneurysms was the internal carotid artery (39 patients, 36%). Initially, complete occlusion of the aneurysm was achieved in 87 patients (81%), near-complete in 12 patients (11%), and incomplete in 9 patients (8%). After 6 months, complete occlusion of the aneurysm remained in 84 patients, near-complete in 12 patients, and incomplete in 6 patients; 6 patients were lost to follow-up.
Conclusion: Endovascular coiling of ruptured intracranial aneurysms is an efficient procedure that should be performed as soon as possible after detection of an SAH.

Background: The Woven EndoBridge 17 (WEB-17) is the latest advancement in the WEB device family. Comprehensive data on its occlusion rates, procedural complications, and mortality is lacking. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the WEB-17 device in intracranial aneurysms (IAs).

BACKGROUND Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) is a common microorganism that has been associated with a variety of obstetric and neonatal complications, such as infertility, stillbirth, histologic chorioamnionitis, neonatal sepsis, respiratory infections, and central nervous system infections. However, it is rare for it to cause severe neonatal asphyxia. This rarity is the focus of our case report, which aims to highlight the potential severity of UU infections in newborns.

Patients with intracranial aneurysms (IA) undergoing endovascular treatment face varying risks and benefits when tirofiban is used for thromboprophylaxis during surgery. Currently, there is a lack of high-level evidence summarizing this information. This study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirofiban during endovascular treatment of IA.

Up to 40% of intracranial aneurysms arise from the anterior cerebral artery and anterior communicating artery (ACA-ACoA) complex. The vast variability of vessel anomalies and the surrounding critical structures correlate with severe morbidity and mortality rates in case of rupture. In the era of cutting-edge advantages of endovascular procedures, surgical expertise is reducing.
