Vascular complications, including vessel occlusion and hemorrhage, can arise after radiosurgery; however, hemorrhage due to a ruptured de novo aneurysm after Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKS) for tumor is extremely rare. To the authors' knowledge, only a single case of de novo aneurysm formation after GKS for vestibular schwannoma has been previously reported. In this study, they describe their experience with the treatment of a 74-year-old woman with subarachnoid hemorrhage limited to the cerebell

OBJECT: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) can be an alternative option for carotid endarterectomy in the prevention of ischemic stroke caused by carotid artery stenosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of stent design on the incidence of procedural and postprocedural embolism associated with CAS treatment. METHODS: Ninety-six symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, consisting of 79 males and 17 females, with moderate to severe carotid artery stenosis and a mean age of 69.0 yea

Ticagrelor appears to be as effective and safe as clopidogrel in stent-assisted coiling or flow-diversion treatment for unruptured cerebral aneurysms.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and treatment-related complications between coiling and clipping for ruptured distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms. METHODS: Eighty-four consecutive patients (M:F = 36:48; mean 53.8 years) with ruptured DACA aneurysms were treated by either clipping (n = 46, 54.8%) or coiling (n = 38, 45.2%). The clinical outcomes and procedure-related complications were evaluated and compared between the two groups. R

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Flow-diverter treatment for previously stented aneurysms has been reported to be less effective and prone to complications. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness and safety of flow diverters for recurrent aneurysms after stent-assisted coiling. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent flow-diverter placement for recurrent aneurysms after stent-assisted coiling between March 2015 and March 2019 were recruited. Clinical and radiographic characteristics and clin

Several morphological parameters were investigated to predict a rupture in multiple cerebral aneurysms using 3D angiogram. The aspect ratio, size ratio type I, daughter sac, and parent-daughter angle were revealed as competent parameters.

BACKGROUND: Little has been reported about the feasibility and durability of a Low-profile Visualized Intraluminal Support Junior (LVIS Jr) Y-stenting device for wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility and durability of LVIS Jr Y-stenting for coiling of unruptured wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. METHODS: We identified patients in whom LVIS Jr Y-stenting was attempted for unruptured wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms from a prospectively maintained registry of a referr

BACKGROUND: Surgical treatment of anterior communicating artery (Acom) aneurysm is challenging due to anatomic complexity. We aimed to describe our experiences with endovascular treatment (EVT) of Acom aneurysms, and to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of recurrence and retreatment. METHODS: The study comprised 260 patients who were treated at a single center between January 2010 and December 2018. Patients who had EVT, including stent-assisted coiling of Acom aneurysms, were included. Al

Preoperative coiling and subsequent tumor surgery was safe and effective, making it a reasonable treatment option for patients with brain tumor and cUIA.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to report our preliminary experience of stent-assisted coiling (SAC) of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms with a single microcatheter in patients with parent arteries that were small-caliber, with stenosis, or a very tortuous course. METHODS: Between March 2018 and December 2018, we treated 394 aneurysms in 359 patients with endovascular treatment. Among 197 aneurysms treated by SAC, there were 16 cases (all wide-necked unruptured aneurysms) treated by

Both BAC and SAC were safe and effective techniques for ICA-UA. There were no differences in morbi-mortality and recurrence rates between groups.

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a severe demyelinating syndrome defined principally by its tendency to affect optic nerves and the spinal cord selectively. Asymptomatic brain lesions have recently become a common finding in NMO, and symptomatic brain lesions do not exclude the diagnosis of this entity. The authors describe the case of a 12-year-old girl suffering from an unusually atypical form of NMO in which a brainstem lesion was mistaken for a brainstem glioma. Brainstem involvement in NMO exh

피터슨과 그 동료들에 의해 제기되었던 문화적 옴니보어(Omnivore)란 특정사회의 상류층에 해당하는 사람들이 전통적으로 그들의 계층에 속하는 엘리트문화예술 장르뿐만 아니라 하층 장르에까지 폭 넓은 선호를 가지고 있음을 의미한다. 하지만 최근의 옴니보어 연구는 지나치게 선호의 문제에만 집중하거나,피터슨이 사용했던 원래 의미의 옴니보어를 편의에 따라 임의적으로 변형해서사용하는 양상을 보이고 있다. 본 연구는 2000년대 한국 영화관객들의 소비 형태에서 문화적 옴니보어의 속성이 나타나고 있는지에 주목한다. 단순히 장르에대한 선호가 아니라 특정 장르의 영화를 실제로 관람했는지를 기준으로 본래의미에 충실한 옴니보어가 우리나라 문화소비 영역에서도 나타났는지를 분석한다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면 기존 연구에서 영화 장르 소비의 옴니보어를 추출하는데 중요한 역할을 했던 개인의 소득수준이나 교육수준 등의 변수는 영화의적극소비층을 구분해 낼 때만 유용할 뿐, 적극소비층 내에서는 장르 소비에 별다른

The coil-protected technique is a safe and effective method for liquid embolization, especially in patients with various neurovascular shunts or malformations who could not be successfully treated with conventional techniques.
