AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines treatment strategies for unruptured large/giant paraclinoid aneurysms in Japan, focusing on methods like coiling, clipping, parent artery occlusion (PAO), and flow diverters (FDs).
- Coiling was the most commonly used method for large aneurysms, while PAO was preferred for giant ones; all treatments showed high occlusion rates but had varying complications.
- The findings suggest that while all methods are effective, FDs emerge as the best option due to their high occlusion rate and lower complication and retreatment risks.
Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: Large or giant paraclinoid aneurysms have been treated with various strategies, including clipping, coiling, and parent artery occlusion (PAO). In addition, flow diverters (FDs) have been introduced for the management of these aneurysms. The aim of this study was to examine the management of unruptured large/giant paraclinoid aneurysms in Japan when FDs were being introduced by a nationwide survey.
Methods: A total of 576 unruptured large/giant paraclinoid aneurysms treated in Japan between January 2012 and December 2016 were retrospectively studied.
Results: Half of the large paraclinoid aneurysms were treated by coiling (50.3%), whereas giant aneurysms were occluded mainly by PAO (51.4%). A high nearly complete occlusion rate was achieved with clipping (94.1%), coiling (85.9%), PAO (82.4%), and FDs (77.6%). Coiling had higher risks of recurrence (28.3%) and retreatment (20.3%). Major procedure-related complications were observed in 9.7%. Ischemic complications were common in PAO (9.5%), with cranial nerve symptoms common in clipping (10.9%). All treatment modalities achieved good clinical outcomes (93.5-96.6%). Although not significant, pre-existing visual disturbance improved most frequently by clipping (53.7%), but also worsened most frequently by clipping (24.4%). Consequently, FD achieved a high occlusion rate with minimal complication and retreatment rates.
Conclusion: All treatment modalities offer high rates of complete occlusion and good clinical outcomes. Coiling has the disadvantage of high rates of recurrence and retreatment. Clipping and PAO have the disadvantage of a high rate of major procedure-related complications; however, PAO can provide comparable treatment outcomes even in cases with refractory giant aneurysms. FDs are the optimal choice for the management for large/giant paraclinoid aneurysms due to its safety and efficacy.

Discriminators of Paraclinoid Aneurysm Rupture Based On Morphological Computer-Assisted Semiautomated Measurement (CASAM) and Hemodynamic Analysis.

Background: Paraclinoid aneurysms, arising from the proximal dural ring and extending to the origin of the posterior communicating artery of the internal carotid artery (ICA), represent a significant proportion of all intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Accurate prediction of the rupture risk of paraclinoid aneurysms is crucial for optimal management. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for the rupture of paraclinoid aneurysms on the basis of computer-assisted semiautomated measurement (CASAM) and hemodynamics.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the transorbital approach (TO) for accessing vascular lesions, specifically the carotid and middle cerebral arteries, using cadaveric specimens to understand its feasibility for vascular clipping.
- Dissection involved a stepwise TO method that included procedures like lateral orbital craniectomy and anterior clinoidectomy, allowing for exposure of various vascular segments and cranial nerves.
- Findings suggest that the TO approach effectively exposes key artery segments, indicating its potential use in treating paraclinoid and posterior communicating aneurysms.

Article Synopsis
- - The management of multiple intracranial aneurysms is complex, influenced by factors such as the patient's health, aneurysm characteristics, and surgical expertise.
- - There is an increased risk of rupture during surgery for a ruptured aneurysm, and patients with multiple aneurysms are typically treated through multiple procedures rather than a single intervention.
- - A case study is presented involving a 58-year-old woman with five incidental aneurysms who underwent successful clipping surgery without neurological deficits and approved the use of her images for publication.
