PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to utilize an objective endpoint analysis of aneurysm treatment, which is based on the primary objective of aneurysm repair, and to apply it to a consecutive series of patients undergoing open and endovascular repair. METHOD Aneurysm-related death was defined as any death that occurred within 30 days of primary aneurysm treatment (open or endovascular), w...

the results of two key clinical trials assessing the clinical efficacy of endovascular management in acute ischemic stroke were presented at the annual meeting of the International Stroke Conference (ISC) in Honolulu. The trials, SYNTHESIS expansion and IMS-III, had received great attention from many neurologists and neurointerventionalists, as they were multicenter, randomized, controlled tria...

OBJECTIVE A cost comparison of the surgical clipping and endovascular coiling of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs), and the identification of the principal cost determinants of these treatments. METHODS This study conducted a retrospective review of data from a series of patients who underwent surgical clipping or endovascular coiling of UIAs between January 2011 and May 2014. The medi...

BACKGROUND Recent recommendations to screen for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in high-risk populations and the rapidly increasing use of endovascular repair have led to increased interest in evaluating the effectiveness of treatment options for patients with AAA. PURPOSE To compare the effectiveness of treatment options, including active surveillance, open repair, and endovascular repair, f...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Treatment of intracranial aneurysms by interventional neurovascular techniques may be useful as a therapeutic alternative. We describe two cases of recurrent aneurysms after endovascular treatment using detachable balloons. CASE DESCRIPTION Two cases are reported of recurrence 2 years after endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms (posterior communicating in both ca...

OBJECT Considerable evolution has occurred in treatment options for cerebral aneurysms. Development of endovascular techniques has produced a significant change in the treatment of ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Adoption of endovascular techniques and increasing numbers of patients undergoing endovascular treatment may affect health care expenditures. Geographic assessment of g...

We report a case of concurrent saccular aneurysms caused by a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the thoracic and abdominal aorta that were successfully treated by staged endovascular repair. Even though surgical open repair or endovascular repair is the treatment option, use of endovascular repair is now accepted as an alternative treatment to surgery in selected patients. To prevent contras...

Abstract Behçet’s Disease (BD) is a rare, chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and multisystemic disease. There no universally described test for confirming diagnosis, so it made clinically, on the basis of its classic triad signs: oral ulcers, genital uveitis (inflammation uveal tract eye). The aim this study to evaluate importance endovascular treatment in literature review conducted achieve obj...

BACKGROUND Two types of treatment are being used for patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms: endovascular detachable-coil treatment or craniotomy and clipping. We undertook a randomised, multicentre trial to compare these treatments in patients who were suitable for either treatment because the relative safety and efficacy of these approaches had not been established. Here we present cli...

Bifurcation aneurysms (carotid bifurcation aneurysms, top of basilar artery aneurysms and middle cerebral artery aneurysms) are frequently treated by endovascular treatment (EVT) but their treatment is sometimes difficult singularly when the neck is wide. The "remodelling technique" is used for the treatment of these difficult aneurysms. However, the use of this technique is more complicated in...
