To evaluate whether the efficacy and safety of embolization of the aneurysmal neck were better than those of embolization of the entire aneurysm. Previous studies found that embolization of the aneurysmal neck can be used for treating ruptured intracranial aneurysm with bleb formation.In all, 163 patients with ruptured aneurysms with bleb formation who underwent endovascular embolization at the Shanghai Municipal Jing'an District Central Hospital from January 2014 to August 2015 were divided into the embolization of aneurysmal neck group (neck group; 87 cases) and embolization of entire aneurysm group (aneurysm group; 76 cases). A retrospective analysis of clinical data, follow-up Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score, and occurrence of complications was performed. The impacts of different embolisms on the prognosis were compared.The median follow-up time in the neck and aneurysm groups was 17 months (9.62) and 16.5 months (9.54), respectively (P = .799). No differences were found in recurrence, postoperative GOS score, and GOS score at the last follow-up between the 2 groups. The numbers of coils and surgical complications in the neck group were smaller than those in the aneurysm group (P < .001 and P < .030, respectively). After adjusting for age and sex, the embolization method was found to be an independent predictor for surgery-related complications (odds ratio 2.419, 95% confidence interval 1.111-5.269, P = .026).The numbers of coils and surgery-related complications were smaller when embolizing the aneurysmal neck than the entire aneurysm, showing potential advantages of embolization of the aneurysmal neck.

Aortic lumen repair with glue-felt technique before proximal anastomosis in acute type a aortic dissection surgery.
J Cardiothorac Surg

Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objectives: Despite the advances in medicine, aortic dissection remains a cardiac surgery emergency with high mortality and morbidity rates. This study examined the effects of the Glue + Felt technique, which uses biological glue and felt to repair the proximal anastomotic site, on the outcomes of patients with acute type A aortic dissection.
Methods: A total of 108 patients who underwent surgery for acute type A aortic dissection at our clinic between 2007 and 2020 were included in the study.
External Auditory Canal Transillumination-Guided Middle Fossa Approaches: An Anatomical Feasibility Study.

Department of Neurosurgery, Yeditepe University School of Medicine, İstanbul, Türkiye.
Background And Objectives: The middle fossa approaches are tremendously versatile for treating small vestibular schwannomas, selected petroclival meningiomas, midbasilar trunk aneurysms, and lesions of the petrous bone. Our aim was to localize the internal acoustic canal and safely drill the petrous apex with these approaches. This study demonstrates a new method to locate the internal acoustic canal during surgery in the middle fossa.

Background: Prospective data on the clinical course of the ascending thoracic aorta are lacking.
Objectives: This study sought to estimate growth rates of the ascending aorta and to evaluate occurrences of adverse aortic events (AAEs)-that is, thoracic aortic ruptures, type A aortic dissections, and thoracic aortic-related deaths.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study from the population-based, multicenter, randomized DANCAVAS (Danish Cardiovascular Screening trials) I and II, participants underwent cardiovascular risk assessments including electrocardiogram-gated, noncontrast computed tomography (CT) scans.
Endovascular treatment of postoperative aortic coarctation aneurysms-a single center experience.
Front Cardiovasc Med

Department of Cardiology, University Hospital 'St. Ekaterina', Medical University of Sofia, Sofia, Bulgaria.
Background: Formation of local type aortic aneurysm years after surgical repair of coarctation (CoA) occurs in 10% of patients independent of the surgical technique and is a potentially life-threatening condition if left untreated with a high risk of aortic rupture. Redo open surgery is associated with 14% in-hospital mortality and a high risk of complications. Endovascular treatment appears to be a feasible alternative with a high success rate and low morbidity and mortality, but data concerning long-term results is still mandatory.

Scalp arteriovenous fistula (sAVF) is a rare disease caused by a congenital defect or exogenous injury, but no standard treatment exists. In this article, we report a rare case of sAVF combined with type C sAVF and cirsoid aneurysm (CA), which was successfully treated by staging microsurgery. Individualized surgical incisions were designed based on the size and range of the sAVF, and then staging microsurgery was performed.
