Objectives: We aimed to evaluate risk factors of sis-VADAs recurrence after reconstructive treatment based on 113 reconstructed lesions.
Methods: A total of 111 patients (M:F = 68:43; median age, 47 years) with 113 sis-VADAs underwent reconstruction from October 2000 to March 2011, using stent(s) and coils. Treatments and predictors of recurrence were retrospectively analysed.
Results: Fifty-eight sis-VADAs underwent single-stent treatment, and the remaining 55 sis-VADAs underwent treatment with 2-4 overlapping stents. Follow-up angiography was available for 94 sis-VADAs 12 -78 months, with recurrence in ten patients, including seven angiographic recurrences and three post-treatment haemorrhagic recurrences. A higher rate of post-treatment recurrence was observed in the single stent group than in the multiple stents group (p = 0.010). The interaction between stent (s) implantation and immediate occlusion degree (odds ratio [OR] =3.152; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.293-7.686; p = 0.012), between stent (s) implantation and the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) involvement (OR = 4.607; 95% CI, 1.172-18.113; p = 0.029), and between PICA involvement and immediate occlusion degree (OR = 5.018; 95% CI, 1.263-19.933; p = 0.022) affect recurrence in the reconstructed sis-VADAs.
Conclusions: This single centre cohort study indicated that the interaction effect between stent (s) implantation, PICA involvement, and immediate occlusion degree were closely associated with recurrence after reconstructive treatment of sis-VADA.
Key Points: The interaction between stent (s) and immediate occlusion degree affect aneurysmal recurrence. The interaction between stent and PICA involvement affect aneurysmal recurrence. The interaction between PICA involvement and immediate occlusion degree affect aneurysmal recurrence.

Untangling rapunzel syndrome: A unique presentation of gastric trichobezoar.
Int J Surg Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Pathology, Health Plus Diagnostics, Gorakhpur, India.
Introduction And Importance: Rapunzel syndrome is a rare condition that results from trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling) and trichophagia (hair eating), causing a trichobezoar (hairball) to form This syndrome typically affects young females with psychiatric conditions and presents with symptoms like chronic abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and malnutrition. The condition is often diagnosed late, leading to serious gastrointestinal complications.
Case Presentation: A 19-year-old female from a rural community presented with chronic abdominal pain, vomiting, and nutritional deficiencies, including scaly skin and koilonychia.
Fourth-generation Pipeline Vantage flow diversion: First reported US experience of safety and feasibility.
Interv Neuroradiol

Department of Neurology, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The Pipeline Vantage embolization device is a new fourth-generation tool designed to treat intracranial aneurysms, and this study evaluates its safety and effectiveness.
- The research involved 12 patients, primarily women, with a variety of aneurysm types, and demonstrated a 100% success rate in device deployment without intraoperative complications.
- One postprocedural complication occurred, and the findings represent the first US analysis of this device's use in patients with intracranial aneurysms, highlighting its potential for treating both ruptured and unruptured cases.
A rare case of acute large bowel obstruction due to colonic bezoars associated with pica in a pediatric patient: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Kanti Children Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Introduction: Colonic bezoars are undigested or partially digested materials that accumulate in the form of a mass in the colon. There are occasional reports of constipation and intestinal obstruction due to geophagia or pica. Bezoars are due to pica, which is commonly associated with iron deficiency anemia and psychiatry disorders.

Oncology, Department of Precision Medicine, Università della Campania "L. Vanvitelli", Naples, Campania, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Self-expanding Y-metal stents (SEMS) are useful for treating complex airway lesions, but their placement can be challenging; the study introduces a modified method called the Y reverse technique to improve stent insertion.
- The research involved 15 patients with airway issues, where only those with specific conditions were treated using this new technique.
- Results showed that the Y reverse technique enhanced respiratory function, increased mean survival times, and reduced procedure duration when compared to traditional methods, indicating it to be a safe and effective treatment for airway obstruction.
