چکیده

A patient with cervicocranial fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. A ruptured dissecting distal vertebral artery aneurysm required clip ligation of the parent artery; a contralateral dissecting proximal vertebral aneurysm was occluded with detachable coils. Progressive dissecting, extracranial aneurysms of the internal carotid artery were treated with self-expanding stents. Subsequent angiography and intravascular sonography revealed patent stents, a smooth luminal surface, and total occlusion of the aneurysm. Clinical outcome was excellent.

An Unusual Case of Fibromuscular Dysplasia with Bilateral Renal Macroaneurysms: Three-year Outcome After Endovascular Treatment

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an idiopathic, segmental, non-inflammatory and non-atherosclerotic disease that affects arterial walls, leading to stenosis of small and medium-sized arteries. FMD mostly involves renal and intracranial arteries and only in few patients is associated with macroaneurysms (RAAs). We present the case of a 45-years old woman with recent history of grade 2 hypertensi...

Treatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms with a self-expanding stent system: initial clinical experience.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Currently available stents for intracranial use usually are balloon-expandable coronary stents that carry the risk of damaging a dysplastic segment of the artery, with potential vessel rupture. We assessed the technical feasibility and efficacy of the combined application of a flexible, self-expanding neurovascular stent and detachable coils in the management of wide-neck...

Stent-assisted coiling in endovascular treatment of 500 consecutive cerebral aneurysms with long-term follow-up.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stent-assisted coil embolization has become one of the most preferred techniques in the treatment of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms; however, long-term patency and safety of the self-expanding neurostents and their role in durability of the endovascular treatment has remained ambiguous. We sought to retrospectively examine the long-term results of self-expanding stent u...

Endovascular Management of the Wide-neck Aneurysms: the Applications of the Coils and Catheter

aneurysms has become an accepted treatment option worldwide (1). However, principal disadvantage of embolization of aneurysms with detachable coils is that embolization could be limited by unfavorable shape of the aneurysms (2-5). Coils packed into the lumen of the wide-neck aneurysms have the inherent difficulty that coils can herniate into the parent vessels. The wide-neck of aneurysms also u...
