Background And Purpose: We report short- and intermediate-term effects on headaches with intra-arterial injection of lidocaine in the middle meningeal artery in patients with severe headaches associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Methods: We treated seven patients with intra-arterial lidocaine in doses up to 50 mg in each middle meningeal artery via a microcatheter bilaterally (except in one patient). We recorded the maximum intensity of headache (graded by 11-point numeric rating scale) prior to procedure and every day for the next 10 days or discharge, whichever came first.

This article provides radiologists with insights into stem cells' functions, sources, and potentially successful clinical treatments via intravascular injection in organs such as the liver, kidney, pancreas, musculoskeletal system, and for ischemic conditions affecting the brain, heart and limbs. Understanding stem cells' significance in interventional radiology and its limitations enables tailored interventions for diverse conditions, ensuring efficient medical care and optimal treatment selection.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown great potential for treating various diseases. Translating EVs-based therapy from bench to bedside remains challenging due to inefficient delivery of EVs to the injured area and lack of techniques to visualize the entire targeting process. Here we developed a dopamine surface functionalization platform that facilitates easy and simultaneous conjugation of targeting peptide and multi-mode imaging probes to the surface of EVs.

Background: Coronary Artery Spasm (CAS) often presents in the epicardial coronary arteries. The anterior septal branch is distributed within the myocardium, and occurrences of spasms are rare. Currently, there is no available literature on this topic, and the onset of symptoms remains elusive, potentially leading to misdiagnosis.
