Our experience with 25 cerebral aneurysm patients shows that the technique of using two microcatheters is feasible and safe for coil embolization of aneurysms with unfavorable configurations. Although the lack of angiographic follow-up prevents us from drawing conclusions about its effectiveness as compared with other techniques such as stent placement and balloon-neck protection, we believe that this technique offers a reliable alternative for endovascular therapy of complicated aneurysms.

BACKGROUND: Up-to-date, quantitative angiographic measurement of revascularization extent after bypass surgery has not been reported. OBJECTIVE: To measure the extent of angiographic revascularization quantitatively 6 months postoperatively with the OSIRIS program (University Hospital of Geneva, version 3.1). METHODS: A total of 75 bypass procedures were performed in 65 consecutive adult moyamoya disease patients, and 71 bypass surgeries in 61 adult moyamoya disease patients were studied 6 month

The intravenous administration of abciximab can be used as an adjuvant therapy to facilitate thrombolysis for acute cerebrovascular occlusion. However, to our knowledge, the intraaterial administration of abciximab has not been reported. We recently treated three patients with acute thrombosis of the cerebral arteries by using an intraarterial infusion of urokinase and abciximab. Even with small doses, we achieved rapid and complete recanalization without complications. We believe that the intra

The incidence of nausea and vomiting associated with cerebral angiography is low and not affected by diet or fasting. Pulmonary aspiration had no difference between the diet and the fasting group. Our study suggests that fasting may not be necessary for patients who undergo elective cerebral angiography.

Background: Several endovascular techniques and devices are presently available for the non-surgical treatment of basilar-tip aneurysms in dedicated neurovascular departments. However, the revolving drawback to treatment to angiographic approach remains the long-term coil-mass durability and less patent published results regarding treatment outcome and long-term efficacy. We aim to share our experience of selected endovascular techniques for treating basilar-tip aneurysms and its long-term clini

ICA flow arrest due to filter occlusion during CAS is relatively common and occurs more frequently in severe stenosis. It resolves rapidly after filter removal and does not appear to worsen outcome.

Our results suggest that autologous fibroblasts delivered with platinum coils could promote the organization of intra-aneurysmal thrombus. Although further research is needed, especially on the potential complications, endovascular treatment using autologous fibroblasts may be applied to aneurysm treatment.
