Endovascular and Surgical Treatment of Unruptured MCA Aneurysms: Meta-Analysis and Review of the Literature.
Conclusions. This review weakly supports clipping as the preferred treatment of unruptured MCA aneurysms. Clinical outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups. PMID: 24800103 [PubMed]

Extensive stretching of intracranial aneurysm coil causing TIAs
A 58-year-old man with a history of ruptured posterior cerebral artery aneurysm, repaired with coil embolization 5 years previously, presented with right hemi-numbness lasting 30 minutes. Cerebral MRI did not reveal acute stroke. CT angiogram showed a stretched wire complex extending through the posterior communicating artery, down the carotid artery, and into the most inferior visualized portion of descending aorta, terminating in a loosely coiled wire (figure, A and B). A transesophageal echocardiogram showed evidence of a possible thrombus on the coil in the aortic arch (figure, C and D; video on the Neurology® Web ...

Endovascular management of extracranial occlusions at the hyperacute phase of stroke with tandem occlusions
Conclusions ervical occlusion with coils and thrombectomy with stent-retrievers may be relevant to prevent early embolic recurrence in cervical occlusions with intraluminal thrombus. Stent-retrievers should be further assessed as a first-line approach, since delayed stroke may occur following occlusion with coils.

Endovascular Coil Embolization for Recurrent Bow Hunter's Stroke
Intern Med. 2022 May 14. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.8906-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBow hunter's stroke is a rare cause of vertebrobasilar infarction. There is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment. We herein report a case of bow hunter's stroke successfully treated by endovascular treatment. A 70-year-old man presented with central vertigo. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed posterior circulation infarcts. Dynamic angiography revealed thrombus formation and hypoperfusion of the right vertebral artery upon head rotation to the left. Endovascular parent artery occlusion of the right vertebral artery wa...

Treatment of ruptured blood blister-like aneurysms with flow diverter SILK stents
Conclusions Implantation of flow diverter stents seems to be a safe and feasible alternative for treatment of ruptured BBAs.

Recurrent posterior circulation infarction caused by anomalous occipital bony process in a young patient
Conclusion: Arterial thromboembolism originating from the left vertebral artery compressed by the anomalous occipital bony process is a rare but not to be overlooked cause of posterior circulation infarction. When intractable to medical treatment, endovascular occlusion of the vertebral artery without flow disturbance to the posterior circulation may be a useful treatment option when surgical removal is not feasible.

Hemodynamic Characteristics Associated With Paraclinoid Aneurysm Recurrence in Patients After Embolization
Conclusions: High peak systolic WSS, OSI and velocity around aneurysm neck areas after embolization of paraclinoidal aneurysms may be important factors leading to recurrence. Introduction Paraclinoid aneurysms are defined as aneurysms arising from the segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) between the distal dural ring and the origin of the posterior communicating artery. They account for approximately 1.3–5% of all intracranial aneurysms and they comprise the majority of such aneurysms in females (1–3). Hemodynamic characteristics are thought to be the most important risk factors for occurrence...

Timing and nature of in-house postoperative events following uncomplicated elective endovascular aneurysm treatment.
Conclusions The large majority of significant postprocedural events after uncomplicated endovascular aneurysm intervention occur within the first 4 hours; these events become less frequent with increasing time. Transfer to a floor bed after 4-12 hours for further observation is reasonable to consider in some patients. PMID: 25170666 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
