J-2. Stereotaxic Thrombosis of Intracranial Aneurysm

Stereotaxic laser ablation of intracranial lesions.

A technique is described which combines computed tomography-based stereotaxic localization and CO2 laser ablation of certain intracranial lesions with a high degree of accuracy. In 24 patients operated on with this technique, total ablation of the lesion was achieved in 19 and incomplete ablation in the other five. Though not perfect, this method is a new approach to intracranial lesions that p...

Surgical Protocol and Outcome of 60 Cases With Intracranial Aneurysm

Background and Aim: This study aimed to present the results of early and delayed operation on patients with ruptured brain aneurysms. In addition to comparing the results and rates of morbidity and mortality in the surgical procedure and identifying the effective factors, this study aimed to provide methods to improve the treatment of brain aneurysm. Methods and Materials/Patients: This was a ...

Stereotaxic angiography in gamma knife radiosurgery of intracranial arteriovenous malformations.

Gamma knife radiosurgery is an effective alternative to embolization or microsurgical removal of small arteriovenous malformations, particularly in eloquent areas of brain tissue. Stereotaxic angiography is a useful diagnostic and targeting adjunct to gamma knife radiosurgery, and the authors present their experience (1,100 patients) with methods and technique, and show how the nidus of the art...
