Transcatheter embolization is a well-established treatment for renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in selected cases. Transarterial approach has been the conventional route of access of the AVF. In large arteriovenous shunts, however, transarterial approach inherits the risk of distal migration of embolization material with subsequent pulmonary embolism. We report a case of giant high-flow renal arteriovenous fistula treated with coil embolization. Arterial approach was attempted with double catheter technique, however complicated with coil mass dislodgement. We have retrieved the coil mass via transvenous route with simultaneous pulmonary circulatory protection and subsequent successful transvenous coil embolization with complete obliteration of the AVF was performed.

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.

Rupture of the thyrocervical trunk aneurysm into the thoracic cavity does not occur very often. It is an urgent condition due to hemorrhagic shock by massive hemothorax with potentially fatal consequences. Pregnancy and puerperium are additional risk factors for a rupture of the thyrocervical trunk aneurysm in patients with neurofibromatosis and aneurysms.

A 73-year-old male with a history of incidentally diagnosed Paget disease of bone affecting the skull and left orbit 2 years prior presented with 3 months of vision loss, proptosis, and periorbital swelling of the OS. Examination showed best-corrected Snellen visual acuity of 20/150 in the affected eye, intact motility, 7 mm of relative proptosis, significant dilated and tortuous "corkscrew" conjunctival vessels, serous choroidal and retinal detachments, optic nerve hyperemia, and venous tortuosity and dilation. Although the bony lesions in the left orbit were stable from 1 year prior on imaging, the diagnostic angiogram demonstrated osseous blush and hypervascularity of the lesion.

Purpose: Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are treated almost exclusively by endovascular techniques, but the frequency of treatments is limited in smaller centers. We analyzed all CCFs treated in our hospital to determine if high-quality treatment of CCFs can be provided in a medium-volume neurovascular center.

Methods: Retrospective quality-control cohort study.

Background: Neuroendovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms is considered a basic procedure for neurosurgeons and interventional neuroradiologists; however, its critical technical nuances, termed "tacit knowledge," are challenging to impart. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of our novel video recording and editing method in enhancing trainees' experience.

Methods: A wearable camera (wearable recording) and multiple media sources in a hybrid operating room (hybrid recording) were used to capture procedural details such as audio and conversation, thus enabling a re-experience.
