Filter by:During surgery, electrophysiological signals will be acquired with the instrument (ISIS IOM, NeuroExplore, Software Version 4.4, Inomed) already in use at the Neurosurgery Service of the Neurocentro of the Hospital Civic Italian Switzerland in Lugano. Simultaneously to Somatosensorial Evoked Potential (SEP) will also be recorded the Electroencephalography (EEG) activity with the same detection of locations. For the purposes of the study the signals transmitted to the neurosurgeon through the hardware and the corresponding assessments done by the neurophysiologist responsible for intraoperative monitoring will be recorded. It will also be kept track of procedures performed during surgery.
The purpose of this study is to use a wire with a Doppler tip to measure blood flow in vessels in the brain and determine hemodynamic factors associated with treatment success or failure. Many neurological diseases cause abnormal blood flow in the brain in specific vessels. The special wire used in this study is place into brain blood vessels during standard of care procedure to treat such diseases, and blood flow parameters (such as velocity and pressure) are measured to gain better understanding of these neurological diseases.
In this study we aim to investigate the relationship between our anesthesia practice and post procedure complications after MRI scanning with sedation. This is a retrospective, single center observational study. All patients undergoing MRI scan during the study period will be included.
The scope of this trial is the collection and analysis of effectiveness and safety endpoints, related to the use of the MicroPort NeuroTech Coil Embolization System in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
A prospective, multicenter, observational assessment of the safety and effectiveness of the LVIS® device in the treatment of wide necked intracranial aneurysms.
A prospective, multicenter, observational evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the FRED® device in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
This trial is conducted to evaluate the safety and technical effectiveness of using NCVC-CS1, a newly developed honeycomb microporous covered stent, for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms which are difficult to be cured by conventional surgical or endovascular procedures.
Vitamin D has been shown to impact prognosis in a variety of retrospective and randomized clinical trials within an intensive care unit (ICU) environment. Despite these findings, there have been no studies examining the impact of hypovitaminosis D in specialized neurocritical care units (NCCU). Given the often significant differences in the management of patients in NCCU and more generalized intensive care units there is a need for further inquiries into the impact of low vitamin D levels in this specific environment. This study proposes a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, single center evaluation of vitamin D supplementation in the emergent NCCU patient population. The primary outcome will involve length-of-stay for emergent neurocritical care patients. Various secondary outcomes, including in-hospital mortality, ICU length-of-stay, Glasgow Outcome Score on discharge, complications and quality-of-life metrics. Patients will be followed for 6 months post-discharge.
During the last decade, the embolization has become the treatment of choice for ruptured intracranial aneurysms, to improve the neurological outcome of patients. At the same time, for his safety, she also became the technique allowing prophylactic treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms discovered incidentally during imaging exams. Regarding patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms, patients who survive often have a reduced quality of life while one in two has a good neurological outcome after embolization. Depression, anxiety and fatigue, whose the psycho-social impact is important, are often cited. This description has often been done without considering the realized type of treatment (surgery or embolization) and mostly of neurological and functional status of the patient remotely (disability or not in daily activities). Regarding patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms, they are mostly asymptomatic and embolization is programmed. They would present an cognitive impairment in one case in five at 1 month of treatment. If depression, fatigue and difficult return to working life are logically found in patients with severe sequelae (disability in daily activities) of their ruptured intracranial aneurysms, the question arises for patients with a ruptured intracranial aneurysms with a favorable evolution and for asymptomatic patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms. A precise status of these populations is necessary, especially as the discovery and treatment of their intracranial aneurysms is often early (between 40 and 60 years) and that their good neurological status should allow "a priori" to return easily at the active life.
Endovascular treatment of ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms presents complications, mainly the thrombo-embolic complication. No specific studies have been conducted to study factors associated with the occurrence of thromboembolic complications (symptomatic or not) post endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
