Filter by:The goal of this international, multicenter, mixed retrospective-prospective, exploratory, observational study is to establish an international registry to fill the knowledge gap created by the rarity of lenticulostriate and basilar perforator aneurysms and the resulting lack of knowledge about their natural history, diagnostic evaluation, management, and clinical outcomes. Specifically, comparative analyses of outcomes in patients with intracranial perforator aneurysms treated conservatively, endovascularly, and surgically will be performed. The study will also evaluate the size and location of lenticulostriate and basilar intracranial perforator aneurysms, collect information on the specific type of endovascular treatment used, compare patients with predominantly perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) who have a perforator aneurysm to those without, and evaluate spontaneous occlusion in conservatively treated aneurysms. Core lab analysis of these aneurysms on various imaging modalities will be performed at the Inselspital and changes in aneurysm characteristics over time will be documented. In addition, the relationship between baseline characteristics and aneurysm characteristics on the incidence of hemorrhage will be examined. The study will involve approximately 20-30 centers worldwide with an estimated total sample size of 200-300 patients by 2025.
This multi-center retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the technical and clinical outcomes of intracranial aneurysms treated with Flow diverter stents.
The purpose of this study is to assess safety and effectiveness of the p64/p48 MW HPC Flow Modulation Device.
The purpose of this study is to assess safety and effectiveness of the pEGASUS stent system.
A research-initiated prospective cohort study with the aim to assess the effectivity, safety and long-term outcomes after surgical and endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. All consecutive patients with a non-ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated at Helsinki University Hospital will be included. Safety is measured by postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) taken 1-3 days after the treatment, treatment-related complications and functional outcome at three months. Effectiveness is measured by angiographic results and assessment of long-term bleeding from the treated aneurysm. Other outcomes include risk of developing epilepsy, getting a new stroke, and dementia on long-term follow-up.
IVADA (Intracranial vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms）is one of the causes of subarachnoid hemorrhage or posterior circulation ischemia with high mortality and disability. Current endovascular therapies for IVADA mainly include parent artery occlusion and endovascular blood reconstructive techniques. The method of parent artery occlusion requires the sacrifice of one vertebral artery. For the IVADA patients whose dissection involves PICA（posterior inferior cerebellar artery）or anterior spinal artery, severe ischemia even infarction of brain stem or cerebellar may be caused after parent artery occlusion , they are usually irreversible damage, so that method are rarely used now.Endovascular flood reconstructive techniques has become the mainstream, including stent-alone or overlapping stent treatment ,stent-assisted coiling techniques, single flow diverter(FD) stents or flow diverter assisted coil, etc.With the improvements in stents, flow diverter stent is efficient, while they are associated with the risk of ischemia, especially when vital arterial branches are covered. It has been reported that FD techniques have certain advantages over traditional stents in the treatment of anterior circulating intracranial aneurysms. In the treatment of posterior circulating aneurysms, perioperative ischemic complications increase due to their influence on the blood flow of perforator arteries, but there are few long-term observations at present. Currently, studies directly contrasting flow diverter and conventional stents in patients with IVADA are rare. Therefore, we performed the study to compare the safety and efficacy between flow diverters and conventional stents in IVADA patients undergoing endovascular therapy. Stent-assisted coiling is the preferred option for most surgeons. In addition,It is believed that dense packing is not necessary as long as the aneurysm neck is covered to isolate the dissection. How ever,whether it is really necessary to adjunct coil,and if it is necessary, what is the ideal packing density of coils, there is no clear conclusion at present.This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy between flow diverter and conventional stents in patients with IVADA, determine the ideal packing density of coils after FD stent placement,and to observe the hemodynamic changes before and after the treatment of FD stent.
The impact of cerebrovascular procedures on patients experiencing anxiety and depression is not well studied despite the high prevalence of these mental health disorders. Unruptured Intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) have a prevalence of approximately 3% and an annual risk of 1-2% in the general population. Despite the high risk of fatality following aneurysm rupture with a rate of 40-50%, the overall aneurysm growth and rupture risks are rare (less than 3% per aneurysm per year) and many patients can be observed with serial follow-up imaging over years. Nevertheless, due to the gravity of the bad consequences of aneurysm rupture, simply informing many patients of UIA diagnosis has been found to result in worse outcomes of health-related quality of life. This study aims to investigate the impact of awareness of untreated UIA on the patients' mental health utilizing the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) tool.
This study (IEDAL study) intends to prospectively enroll more than 6800 patients who will undergo head CT angiography (CTA) scanning in the outpatient clinic. It will be carried out in 25 hospitals in more than 10 provinces in China. The patient's head CTA images will be randomly assigned to the True-AI and Sham-AI group with a ratio of 1:1, and the patients and radiologists are unaware of the allocation. The primary outcomes are sensitivity and specificity of detecting intracranial aneurysms. The secondary outcomes focus on the prognosis and outcomes of the patients.
Training in microsurgical techniques for the management of intracranial aneurysms is carried out during the practical training of the DES in Neurosurgery and during the continuous training of neurosurgeons according to the indications of the patients of the department. Currently, the recent increase in indications for endovascular treatment compared to surgical indications has led to a decrease in surgical indications and in the experience of neurosurgeons. However, there are still surgical indications that are often complex situations that neurosurgeons must overcome with a specific simulation approach. There are different simulation models for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The small animal (rodent) model has the disadvantage of being poorly suited to the reproduction of intracranial aneurysms (different extracranial vessel walls, too small intracerebral vessel caliber) and of being constraining to the establishment. The computerized stimulator model which has the advantage of being able to reproduce the anatomy of a patient but whose haptic sensitivity performance is difficult to reproduce for very fine movements, it is not very accessible because it is expensive. The placental model uses a fresh human placenta, the appearance of the vessels of which is very similar to those found intracerebrally, and dilations on their walls can be performed with a pediatric urinary catheter.
The goal of this study was to verify the safety and effectiveness of Target Tetra® Detachable Coil in the endovascular embolization treatment of small intracranial aneurysm (≤5mm).
