Abstract 170: Flow Diversion for Distal Aneurysms of the Posterior Circulation: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionFlow diversion (FD) has emerged as an effective treatment option for intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Patients harboring distal aneurysms of the posterior circulation including the PICA, AICA, SCA, and PCA P2‐3 treated with FD were included. interquartile range [IQR]: 52.8‐65.3 Complete occlusion was achieved in 78.1%

Abstract 038: Fusiform/Dissecting vs. Saccular Posterior Circulation Aneurysms Treated with Flow Diversion: A Multicenter Study

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionFlow diverters have demonstrated reliable safety and effectiveness for the treatment of selected anterior circulation intracranial aneurysms. However, posterior circulation aneurysms comprise around 10‐15% of all aneurysms, and they frequently present atypical morphological and anatomical characteristics.

Case Report: Heart aneurysm of unknown origin in a two-year-old child diagnosed in the course of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

We present a case of a 22-month-old boy with a hypokinetic and thin-walled aneurysm of the left ventricle apex. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed an akinetic aneurysm of the LV apex with a full-wall ischemic scar. Determining the origin of the aneurysm is challenging.

Racial Disparities in Long-Term Outcomes After Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair in Black and White Medicare Beneficiaries

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Despite reported racial disparities between Black and White adults in short-term outcomes after abdominal aortic aneurysmal intervention, there is a paucity of literature aimed at understanding long-term disparities. The cumulative incidence of the primary outcome was 72.9% (95% CI, 71.8%73.9%)

Update on Diagnosis and Management of Kawasaki Disease: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Kawasaki disease (KD), an acute self-limited febrile illness that primarily affects children <5 years old, is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in developed countries, with the potential of leading to coronary artery dilation and coronary artery aneurysms in 25% of untreated patients.

S-Nitrosylation of Septin2 Exacerbates Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection by Coupling the TIAM1-RAC1 Axis in Macrophages

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Aortic aneurysm and dissection are high-risk cardiovascular diseases without an effective cure. RNA-sequencing analysis was performed to recapitulate possible changes in the transcriptome profile of SNO-Septin2 in macrophages in aortic aneurysm and dissection.

Abstract 4123899: Stroke Risk in Patients with an Isolated Interventricular Membranous Septal Aneurysm

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4123899-A4123899, November 12, 2024. Identified echocardiograms were reviewed to confirm IVMS aneurysms and exclude sinus of Valsalva aneurysms. The mean neck diameter of the aneurysm was 8.7 Patients with concurrent structural heart anomalies were excluded.
