We present a case of an aneurysm of Galen vein in an infant with concomitant large hydrocephalus, treated by ventriculoperitoneal shunting and combined transtorcular-transfemoral embolization with a good clinical outcome. The technical aspect of the procedure is described in detail; current concepts concerning the pathophysiology and data in the available literature are reviewed.

Background: Interventional neuroradiology is a dynamic field with technological advancements constantly driving evolution in clinical practice. Case series provide interventional neuroradiologists the opportunity to describe the clinical implications of novel equipment and techniques almost in real-time, informing broader adoption and directing future research. Complete reporting in case series is vital in enabling readers to detect bias, determine the generalizability of results and replicate study methodology.

Objective: There is a lack of consensus regarding the optimal antithrombotic therapy (ATT) after popliteal and infrapopliteal (PIP) endovascular therapy (EVT). Currently, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for 3 months and single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) are the most prescribed regimens in the Netherlands. Thus far, no randomized comparison has been performed on the optimal ATT approach.

We present a case of AHC in a little girl carrying a sporadic mutation in the ATP1A3 gene (p.Glu815Lys) refractory to flunarizine and non-compliant to topiramate due to adverse effects treated with oral compound of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) capsules.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) enables detailed characterization of cell states but often lacks insights into tissue clonal structures. Here, we present a protocol to probe cell states and clonal information simultaneously by enriching mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants from 3'-barcoded full-length cDNA. We describe steps for input library preparation, mtDNA enrichment, PCR product cleanup, and paired-end sequencing.
