Marathon is rarely used in coil embolization for an aneurysm; particularly, there have been no reports about distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysms. We have reported a case of successful use of Marathon in coil embolization in case of a distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm. The patient was an 83-year-old woman. She had undergone coil embolization for an unruptured distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm, which was discovered by chance. Our initial approach involved the use of a combination of Traxcess and Excelsior SL-10, but the use of SL-10 could not follow Traxcess because the right anterior cerebral artery from the right internal carotid artery had a sharp bifurcation. However, by switching to a combination of TENROU and Marathon, we could access the aneurysm. We thereby decided to continue the use of Marathon in order to complete the coil embolization. In coil embolization for an aneurysm, Marathon was found to be useful, depending on the location of the aneurysm and access route.

Background: Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a rare and serious form of systemic necrotizing vasculitis that predominantly affects medium and small-sized arteries, with central nervous system involvement being particularly uncommon. Treatment strategies are tailored according to the extent and severity of the disease. While conventional therapy includes glucocorticoids and conventional disease-modifying-rheumatic drugs (cDMARDs), biologic agents may be critical for severe and refractory cases.

Objective: Paravisceral aortic lesions present significant challenges for endovascular treatment. This retrospective analysis of consecutively treated patients from April 2017 to June 2021 aimed to analyse the outcome of primary intra-operative embolisation of aortic complicated pseudoaneurysms and gutter channels during parallel graft (PG) repair of paravisceral symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms.
Methods: Patients with symptomatic pseudoaneurysms of the paravisceral aorta treated with PGs using chimney or periscope configurations were included.

Coil embolization of cerebral aneurysms often encounters challenges in achieving complete filling of the aneurysm sac due to complex shapes and hemodynamic factors, frequently resulting in the formation of a residual cavity (RC) at the aneurysm neck. The hemodynamic mechanisms underlying RC formation and growth, however, remain poorly understood. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, combined with silent MRA free from contrast agents and metal artifacts, offers a promising approach to elucidate these mechanisms, potentially enhancing the clinical management of cerebral aneurysms post-coiling.

Systemic-to-pulmonary collaterals (SPCs) are common in congenital heart disease (CHD). Particularly in single ventricle anatomy and Fontan circulation, SPC can both complicate the postoperative course and lead to clinical deterioration in the long term. The treatment of SPC is controversial.
