1. A retrospective single-centre study on 76 patients undergoing endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS), who had at least one year of follow-up, investigated growth and other complications. Endovascular is most prone to which following complication? 1A)EndoleaksB)Aneurysm growthC)Infection the stentD)Re-interventionE)Rupture

The incidence of basilar artery fenestration is approximately 0.6% in angiographic studies and more in autopsy studies [1]. The most common site of basilar artery fenestration is proximal part [2]. Basilar artery fenestration aneurysms are very rare, posing unique challenges. Reported incidence of aneurysm at basilar artery fenestration site is 7% [3]. Surgical treatment of such aneurysm is usu...

The rupture risk of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is known to be dependent on the size of the aneurysm. However, the association of morphological characteristics with ruptured aneurysms has not been established in a systematic and location specific manner for the most common aneurysm locations. We evaluated posterior communicating artery (PCoA) aneurysms for morphological parameters associa...

Spontaneous thrombosis of a ruptured aneurysm during coil embolization is a rare event, and some reports on recanalization of a spontaneous occluded ruptured aneurysm have been published. We report on a case of a 54-year-old male who presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to rupture of a small aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery (ACoA). Cerebral angiography confirmed the presenc...

BACKGROUND Pituitary adenoma combined with intracranial aneurysm is not rare. Some aneurysms are located inside pituitary adenomas, and most do not rupture. Pituitary apoplexy caused by aneurysm rupture is rare and is easily misdiagnosed as simple pituitary adenoma apoplexy. CASE PRESENTATION In this study, we report one case of rare pituitary adenoma apoplexy caused by the rupture of an ante...

Given the social importance of intracranial aneurysm as a major cause of a lethal subarachnoid hemorrhage, clarification of mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of this disease is essential for improving poor prognosis once after rupture. Previous histopathological analyses of human aneurysm walls have revealed the presence of T cells in lesions suggesting involvement of this type of cell in ...

Spontaneous dissecting aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery is uncommon, and simultaneous onset of multiple dissecting aneurysms is rare in patients without congenital or traumatic risk factors. A few reports suggest that extracranial internal carotid artery dissecting aneurysms can grow after SAH due to another intracranial dissecting aneurysm. The present report describes two ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether oral fluoroquinolone use is associated with an increased risk of aortic aneurysm or dissection. DESIGN Nationwide historical cohort study using linked register data on patient characteristics, filled prescriptions, and cases of aortic aneurysm or dissection. SETTING Sweden, July 2006 to December 2013. PARTICIPANTS 360 088 treatment episodes of fluoroquinol...

Basic research on cerebral aneurysms using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations has recently progressed. We describe a clinical case with the use of CFD simulations. A 76-year-old woman had an unruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm associated with pseudo-occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Pre-operative CFD simulations demonstrated that carotid artery stenting (...

Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...
