conclusions small dose of clopidogrel (75 mg) may lead to rare, life-threatening dah, so physicians should be aware of the possibility of dah after neurointervention in patients who have respiratory distress, worsening alveolar infiltrates accompanied by hemoptysis. introduction diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (dah) is a very rare complication but acute and life-threatening event. clopidogrel has g...

central nervous system infection is a rare complication of endovascular procedures. we report a 21-year-old woman presented with headache, nausea, vomiting, and right-sided hemiparesis 4 months after endovascular embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformation. investigations led to the diagnosis of multiple brain abscesses. this is the sixth case report of brain abscess following endovascu...

background: venoplasty and stenting is a minimally invasive therapy that can be used for patients with deep venous insufficiency in the lower extremities. this study aimed at investigating the effect of venoplasty and venous stenting in patients with chronic venous insufficiency in the lower limbs. methods : this prospective case-series study recruited patients with chronic deep venous insuffic...

conclusion coil embolization showed successful outcomes in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms with a low complication rate. results immediately after the procedure, the total occlusion was seen in 76 (86.4%), subtotal occlusion in six (6.8%), and partial occlusion in six patients (6.8%). there was no significant relationship between the aneurysm size, aneurysm neck size, and location of th...

Introduction: Themaintenance of hemodynamic stability in brain aneurysm surgery has paramount clinical significance in order to prevent vasospasm in the patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to assess the role of magnesium sulfate in preventing vasospasm and maintaining hemodynamic stability during endovascular coiling procedure for br...

Ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAA) are extremely rare, and the repair can be challenging. This case reports described an 83-year-old patient who presented at our Emergency Department with acute abdominal pain based on a ruptured IIAA. He refused open repair and only wanted to be treated as minimally invasive as possible. Therefore endovascular embolization of the IIAA was performed...

Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke consists of various mechanical and pharmacologic modalities used for recanalization of arterial occlusions. We performed this study to determine the relationship among procedure time, recanalization, and clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We an...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid intervention by carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or endovascular treatment may cause hemodynamic change. The immediate and long-term effects on blood pressure after these procedures were assessed. METHODS Patients were randomized to CEA (n=49) or endovascular treatment (n=55) that comprised percutaneous transluminal angioplasty alone (n=31), balloon-expandable stent...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dissecting vertebrobasilar aneurysms are challenging to treat, and standard treatment modalities remain controversial. We retrospectively evaluated our experience using endovascular techniques to treat these aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS From February 1997 to December 2007, 42 patients with intradural vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms underwent endovascular treatm...
