Filter by:The physiopathology of intracranial aneurysm from initiation to ruptured is incompletely understood but included inflammation. The microbiota is known to interact with brain and can promote inflammation. The objective of this study is to describe microbiota with taxonomic and metabolomic analysis. A comparison between ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysm will be performed. The study hypothesis is that microbiota is different between ruptured and unruptured patient.
The management of small unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) has been a very controversial topic in neurosurgery. Thus, we initiated a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial (PROBE) design to elucidate in UIA patients with ICVD who do not qualify for preventive endovascular or neurosurgical intervention whether aspirin treatment decreases the risk of aneurysm growth and rupture.
A trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Tubridge Plus flow-diverter stent for the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of Cook's various Custom-Made Stent-graft Devices (CMD) used for endovascular treatment of the aorta and related diseases by collecting information on the real-world use of the devices. The study results will be used to support the continuation of the CMDs on the market. In addition, the study will support the manufacturers obligation for post market product surveillance as well as Cook's technology development.
Prospective, international, single-arm, multicenter, registry study. Patients presenting with evidence of Wide Neck unruptured or ruptured intracranial aneurysm (≤ 20 mm in widest diameter) requiring treatment will be enrolled into the study and treated using the SEAL™ System.
AAA characteristics are traditionally measured with computed tomography angiography (CTA), however, three-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) is emerging as a novel imaging method for AAAs. With the use of a US contrast agent, the AAA thrombus can also be distinguished from the lumen on the 3D scans. This enables 3D visualization of the AAA and its thrombus without the need for harmful radiation and nephrotoxic contrast agents, as opposed to CTA. In in vitro measurements, 3D US has already been shown to have clinically acceptable error rate with AAA diameter and volume measurement. However, it is unclear whether this is also applicable to in vivo measurements. Therefore, the aim of this prospective study is to compare preoperative 3D US AAA characteristics as measured by 3D US with contrast enhancement (3D CEUS), 3D US without contrast enhancement (3D non-CEUS) and CTA.
The objective of the study is to collect real-world data on patient outcomes and evaluate the safety and performance of the Lifetech Ankura™ AAA Stent Graft System, Ankura™ Cuff Stent Graft System, Ankura™ AUI Stent Graft System and ZoeTrack™ Super Stiff Guidewire.
Background: Following acute brain injury (ABI), patients are monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU) where providers rely on frequent neurological examinations ("neurochecks") to assess for neurodeterioration. Serial neurochecks are part of guideline recommendations, but there is equipoise between hourly (Q1) and every-other-hour (Q2) evaluation. In the ICU, care-related awakenings occur frequently, but it is unclear if differential neurocheck frequencies result in differential sleep, providing the scientific premise for this proposal. Population: Thirty patients (N=15 per group) who have undergone elective aneurysm coiling will be enrolled. On post-operative day (POD) 0, patients will be screened and approached for informed consent if they do not meet exclusion criteria, e.g., prior intracranial injury, sleep disorders, cognitive impairment, mechanical ventilation. Patients with elective aneurysm coiling are being chosen because they require ICU level of care following their intracranial procedure, but do not have structural brain injury or ongoing sedation needs that might impact sleep measurements. Methods: Usual care: Patients are monitored every 15-30 minutes for up to 6 hours post-procedure, then Q1 or Q2 for up to 24 hours. If these patients remain stable, they are discharged home on post-operative day (POD) 1. Proposed Intervention: Enrolled patients will be randomized to Q1 or Q2 neurochecks following the institutionally required 6 hours of stable neurological and vascular checks. Once randomized, patients will undergo placement of electroencephalogram (EEG) with video, electrooculogram, and chin lead. The video EEG will be in place for at least 8 hours to include the overnight (10PM-6AM) time period. Following completion of the recording, the signals obtained will be reviewed by a blinded polysomnographic sleep technician for sleep characteristics including quantitative assessments of wakefulness, deep (N3) sleep, REM sleep, sleep efficiency, and sleep fragmentation and arousals. On POD1, patients and their nurse will fill out the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire to rate subjective sleep quality.
The goal of this study is to learn about the effectiveness of TAP block for pain relief after vascular surgery on the abdominal aorta. The main question the investigators are looking to answer is whether the TAP block lowers the dose of opioid required after abdominal aortic surgery.
The SPARTA study is a prospective multicenter observational trial in the Netherlands with the aim of identifying the best clinical care in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoidal haemorrhage. Differences in outcome between surgical treatment and endovascular treatment will be explored. Furthermore, cost effectiveness and radiological prognostic factors will be examined.
