Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is a rare and fatal condition that requires immediate treatment. However, conventional surgical and transcatheter arterial embolization treatments are less effective. The patient's clinical status was stable during the 4-year follow-up.
It is of an elderly woman who complained of shortness of breath and had a recent stent placed. Ken (below) is appropriately worried about pulmonary embolism from the ECG. LV aneurysm has QS-waves, so this couldn't be LV aneurysm, right? RBBB makes it mandatory that there are R'-waves even in the presence of LV aneurysm.
IntroductionThe use of detachable coils for endovascular embolization of cerebral aneurysms has become a safe and effective alternative to direct surgical clipping in patients with ruptured aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The post‐procedural complication rate proved to be higher than in non‐ruptured stent‐assisted coiling.
IntroductionIntracranial aneurysms, both ruptured and unruptured, pose a significant risk to the general population. Cases of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) are estimated to affect roughly 3% of the general population and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have an incidence of 8 to 9 people per 100,000.
years) underwent surgery for unruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms in our hospital between January 2018 and January 2023.ResultsThe ResultsThe mean aneurysm dome size was 5.29 mm (2–22 mm), and the mean aneurysm neck size was 3.2 12; ATLAS, 14). Postoperative thrombotic complications were observed in 1 patient.
IntroductionFlow diverters (FD) are stent‐type devices that enable the exclusion of intracranial aneurysms in clinical scenarios where coil‐type devices exhibit high failure rates. Adults older than 18 with non‐ruptured intracranial aneurysms were included. years (±13.3). years (±13.3).
IntroductionFlow diversion (FD) is commonly used for the treatment of aneurysms involving the ophthalmic segment of the carotid artery (COA). The origin of the ophthalmic artery (OA) in relation to the aneurysm sac can affect recurrence and complications. directly from the aneurysm fundus, B. aneurysm neck, C.
Statistical analysis was performed to identify predictors of inadequate occlusion.ResultsA total of 51 patients underwent endovascular embolization using the WEB device with a mean follow‐up of 14.9 Ruptured aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage accounted for 15.7% (8/51) of all patients. Retreatment was required in 1 aneurysm.
IntroductionIndications for flow diversion for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms have increased remarkably in recent years.1 1 This has been particularly useful for aneurysms that are difficult to treat via endosaccular or open approaches, such as pseudoaneurysms.2
IntroductionBasilar‐tip aneurysm (BTA) is the most common aneurysm found in the posterior circulation, representing 5–8% of total intracranial aneurysms. Coil embolization (CE) is safer and more efficacious in the treatment of BTAs compared to open surgery but has increased rate of recanalization. vs. 10.7%).
It was opened and stented. This may be permanent and may be associated with echocardiographic dyskinesis (aneurysm). LV aneurysm is common in completed, full thickness (transmural) MI, which is what we have here. LV aneurysm puts them at risk for a mural thrombus, which puts them at risk for embolism, especially embolic stroke.
It was treated with and dual "kissing balloons" and drug eluting stents. Here is the post stent ECG: There is greater than 50% resolution of ST elevation (all but diagnostic of successful reperfusion) and Terminal T-wave inversion (also highly suggestive of successful reperfusion). Perhaps she will not develop an LV aneurysm.
Object:The introduction of antiplatelet agents is essential in stent-assisted coil embolization (SACE) for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms, and preoperative drug efficacy assessment is important in reducing the risk of ischemic complications. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ADP37-ADP37, February 1, 2025.
His initial high sensitivity troponin I returned at 1300 ng/L and given that his cardiac workup was otherwise unremarkable, a CT was obtained to evaluate for pulmonary embolism and aortic aneurysm or dissection but this too was unrevealing. Another EKG was also obtained. ECG at time 82 minutes: What do you think?
No thoracic aortic hematoma, aneurysm or dissection. No pulmonary embolism is identified. First obtuse marginal also had an 80% stenosis and was stented. While in the ED, patient's pain worsened to previous severity of 6/10 pain and improved to 3/10 on NTG drip. CT Angio Chest IMPRESSION 1.
