Angiographic Findings in Refractory Delayed Cerebral Ischemia

Arq. bras. neurocir; 38 (3), 2019
Background Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) follows a refractory course in a subgroup of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), leading to diffuse ischemic injury. The role of angiographic vasospasm (AV) is unknown. Our goal is to study the angiographic alterations and the clinical profil...

Terapia continua intra-arterial selectiva con nimodipino para el tratamiento del vasoespasmo refractario en hemorragia subaracnoidea aneurismática: caso clínico

Rev. méd. Chile; 147 (9), 2019
We report a 39-year-old male with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage without hydrocephalus, in whom a right choroidal aneurysm was early excluded by endovascular coil insertion. Intracranial pressure (PIC) and cerebral oxygenation (PtiO2) sensors for neuromonitoring were installed due to a persistent ...

Bleeding risk of small intracranial aneurysms in a population treated in a reference center

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 77 (5), 2019
ABSTRACT Large multicenter studies have shown that small intracranial aneurysms are associated with a minimal risk of bleeding. Nevertheless, other large series have shown that most ruptured aneurysms are, in fact, the smaller ones. In the present study, we questioned whether small aneurysms are indeed n...

Comparison of different types of endovascular mechanical embolectomy in acute ischemic stroke

SUMMARY Background: To compare the treatment efficacy of different types of endovascular mechanical embolectomy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Material and Methods: A total of 89 patients with AIS were selected in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2016 and divided into tPA group (n=27), tPA+Tr...

Rescue therapy with stent retrievers for thromboembolism during endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Thromboembolism is the most frequent complication in endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms, causing disability and death. As stent retrievers have achieved high rates of arterial recanalization in the management of ischemic stroke, these devices were tested as rescue therapy of thromb...
