AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method for treating residual aneurysms after the Bentall procedure was introduced, involving a concentric circular patch technique during surgery.
  • Six patients underwent this procedure at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, with successful outcomes and clinical recovery noted post-surgery.
  • Follow-up CT scans showed complete resolution of the aneurysm, indicating that this method is a viable treatment option.

Article Abstract

To introduce a new operative method for residual aneurysm of coronary anastomosis after Bentall procedure. Between March 2011 and December 2012, six patients in Beijing Anzhen Hospital with residual aneurysm of coronary anastomosis (CT showed goldfish eye sign at the openings of coronary) after Bentall procedure underwent the operation of concentric circular patch procedure under cardiopulmonary bypass. Femoral artery, right atrium and upper right pulmonary artery cannulation were used for cardiopulmonary bypass, and the artificial vessel was transected after cardiac arrest. A concentric circular patch was pruned, whose outside diameter was slightly larger than the aneurysm and the inside diameter was equal to the openings of coronary. The outer edge of the patch was anastomosed to the outer edge of the aneurysm (opening of artificial vessel in primary surgery) with 4-0 prolene. The inner edge of the patch was anastomosed to the openings of coronary with 5-0 prolene. All patients had clinical recovery. Postoperative CT demonstrated the disappearance of residual aneurysm during follow-up (the goldfish eye sign disappeared). The concentric circular patch procedure is a feasible treatment for residual aneurysm of coronary anastomosis.

Background: Early literature on the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device reported 80-90% adequate aneurysm occlusion but low complete occlusion (40-55%). It is uncertain whether residual or recurrent aneurysms require re-treatment to prevent future rupture.

Objective: To systematically review the literature to meta-analyze occlusion and complication rates after re-treatment of these aneurysms.

The bifurcation of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is one of the most common sites for the formation of cerebral aneurysms, presenting significant challenges for surgical management. A primary concern in this area is the recurrence of aneurysms following surgical clipping, which necessitates a thorough investigation of the contributing factors. This study examined all cases of rebleeding from previously clipped MCA aneurysms among 195 surgically treated patients over an 11-year period.

Background: Intrasaccular devices are increasingly used in endovascular therapy of intracranial aneurysms, in particular wide-necked and ruptured aneurysms. The Trenza Embolization Device (TED) is an innovative intrasaccular device for medium- to large-sized aneurysms. Currently, literature about the TED is scarce.

Objective: Many patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) underrepresented or excluded from previous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing surgery with endovascular treatment (EVT) are still considered for surgical clipping, but the best management of these patients remains unknown.

Methods: The International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial-2 was a randomized trial comparing surgical versus EVT of RIAs considered for surgical clipping, despite the results of previous RCTs, and also eligible for EVT. The primary endpoint was death or dependency according to the modified Rankin Scale score (mRS score > 2) at 1 year.

Persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) is the most common residual manifestation of persistent carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomosis, with the medial-type (intrasellar or sphenoidal) PTA being exceptionally rare. Aneurysms originating from the PTA trunk are not common. We present a unique case of an aneurysm located at the trunk of the medial-type PTA in a patient presenting with trigeminal neuralgia who successfully received endovascular treatment.
