: This study focuses on the critical task of blood vessel segmentation in medical image analysis, essential for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases and enabling effective treatment planning. Although deep learning architectures often produce very high segmentation results in medical images, coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) images are more challenging than invasive coronary angiography (ICA) images due to noise and the complexity of vessel structures. : Classical architectures for medical images, such as U-Net, achieve only moderate accuracy, with an average Dice score of 0.

Objective: Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of hydrogel-coated coils (HGCs) to achieve the composite endpoint of decreased recanalization rates and greater safety. Herein, the authors aimed to assess the true ability of second-generation HGCs to prevent recanalization.
Methods: This randomized controlled study, the HYBRID (Hydrocoil Versus Bare Platinum Coil in Recanalization Imaging Data) trial, comparing HGCs with bare platinum coils (BPCs), was conducted in 43 Japanese institutions.

Objective: Clazosentan is a recently approved endothelin receptor antagonist indicated for the prevention of vasospasm and related complications following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). To date, no direct, head-to-head comparison between clazosentan and nimodipine has been conducted. In this study, we indirectly assessed the efficacy and safety of these two drugs in preventing vasospasm and its associated outcomes after aSAH.
