Background: Middle cerebral artery (MCA) M1 bifurcation aneurysms are common because of hemodynamic. For regular-shaped and small aneurysms, direct clipping is optimal. Aneurysmoraphy or bypass blood flow reconstruction are most commonly used in large aneurysm clipping. Based on preoperative vessel wall high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (VW-HRMRI) and intraoperative angiography, an appropriate surgery strategy could be decided.

Method: We report a case of large MCA M1 bifurcation aneurysm aneurysmoraphy according to preoperative VW-HRMRI. Intraoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed an aneurysm neck remnant, and we adjusted clips according to intraoperative DSA. This patient recovered well with a modified Rankin scale of 0 at discharge.

Conclusion: This case demonstrates that preoperative VWHRMRI could supply more aneurysm characteristics for direct aneurysmoraphy. Intraoperative DSA effectively reduces the possibility of aneurysm remnant.

Endoanchors for the distal fixation of iliac limb in endovascular aneurysm repair.

This report details the case of an 84-year-old male with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and a dilated right common iliac artery eligible for endovascular treatment. A bifurcated stent graft (Medtronic Endurant IIs) was used to treat the aneurysm. To address the concerns of instability of the right iliac limb, four endoanchors (Heli-FX EndoAnchor, Medtronic) were placed at the distal landing zone to provide additional fixation.

Accurate rupture risk assessment is essential for optimizing treatment decisions in patients with cerebral aneurysms. While computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has provided critical insights into aneurysmal hemodynamics, most analyses focus on blood flow patterns, neglecting the biomechanical properties of the aneurysm wall. To address this limitation, we applied Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis, an integrative approach that simulates the dynamic interplay between hemodynamics and wall mechanics, offering a more comprehensive risk assessment.

Purpose: The use of surgeon-modified fenestrated endograft to treat a bleeding complication in the common iliac artery.

Technique: An Endurant limb graft was modified on back table in theater after planning the fenestration using a semi-automated centerline. The Endurant stent was planned to land flush at the aortic bifurcation.

The management of multiple intracranial aneurysms presents significant clinical challenges, particularly when complicated by underlying conditions such as cerebral atherosclerosis. This case report highlights the successful treatment of a 66-year-old female diagnosed with three intracranial aneurysms located in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA), pericallosal artery, and M2 segment. The patient also had a history of systemic atherosclerosis and right-sided breast cancer, factors that increased the complexity of surgical intervention.

Background And Purpose: This animal study was designed to evaluate in vivo the acute and short-term safety and efficacy of the new Artisse intrasaccular device (ISD) for aneurysm occlusion and to gain knowledge about the behavior in the aneurysms.

Materials And Methods: The device was implanted in 7 white New Zealand rabbits with bifurcation aneurysms. Immediate and 90-day angiographic follow-up as well as histologic and scanning electron microscope imaging were evaluated.
