Background/context: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a sudden and potentially serious event. Recognized risk factors of aSAH include smoking, high blood pressure, and alcohol consumption. Some studies have reported associations between risk of aSAH and climatic conditions, but no consensus exists.

Article Synopsis
  • * In a cohort of 277 patients, the new strategy significantly reduced the occurrence of delayed cerebral infarction (DCIn) and improved early detection of vasospasm-related complications.
  • * The findings suggest that using CT perfusion to guide milrinone administration can effectively prevent and treat DCIn, showing promise for improving patient outcomes after aSAH.

Intrasaccular flow disruption is a viable alternative to other endovascular treatments for saccular or wide-necked bifurcation intracranial aneurysms; however, wide neck aneurysms with irregular shapes or shallow depth may not be amenable to treatment currently available intrasaccular devices. Here, we present the first ever case report of the novel Saccular Endovascular Aneurysm Lattice Embolization System (SEAL™). The versatile utility of the SEAL™ device is demonstrated in a patient with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from a ruptured, complex, left middle cerebral artery (MCA) trilobed shallow wide-necked bifurcation aneurysm.

Background: Patients affected with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) often require intensive care, and then present distinctive outcome from less severe patients. We aimed to specify their long-term outcome and to identify factors associated with poor outcome.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in a French university hospital intensive care unit.

Background: Knowledge of the factors associated with the decision to withdraw or withhold life support (WWLS) in brain-injured patients is limited. However, most deaths in these patients may involve such a decision.

Objectives: To identify factors associated with the decision to WWLS in brain-injured patients requiring mechanical ventilation who survive the first 24 h in the ICU, and to analyse the outcomes and time to death.
