Article Synopsis
- Heavily calcified carotid stenosis (HCCS) has traditionally been challenging to treat with carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS), but this study explores the use of the Shockwave S intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) system as a potential solution.
- A retrospective analysis of 17 procedures combining IVL and CAS on patients with HCCS showed technical success in all cases and significant reductions in stenosis levels post-procedure.
- The results indicated that the combined approach is safe, with a low major adverse event (MAE) rate and a promising outcome in managing both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with HCCS.
Braids and beyond: a comprehensive study on pipeline device braid stability from PREMIER data.

Lyerly Neurosurgery, Baptist Medical Center Downtown, Jacksonville, Florida, USA
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the stability of the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) in treating brain aneurysms, focusing on early generations and potential braid deformations.
- Data was gathered from the PREMIER trial, reviewing 133 out of 141 aneurysms for issues like braid bumping and foreshortening, assessing both safety and effectiveness.
- The results show that while a small percentage experienced braid deformations, they didn't significantly impact the device's safety or effectiveness over the follow-up period.
Are ventriculopleural shunts the second option for treating hydrocephalus? A meta-analysis of 543 patients.
Clin Neurol Neurosurg
September 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil. Electronic address:
Background: Some centers utilize ventriculopleural shunt (VPLS) for treating hydrocephalus when conventional approaches are not feasible. Nonetheless, the literature regarding this approach is scarce.
Purpose: Evaluate the outcomes of VPLS through a single-arm meta-analysis.
Multicenter early United States feasibility study and periprocedural safety of LVIS EVO for the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
