Abstract 172: Outcomes and Complications of Stent?Assisted Aneurysm Repair in Acute Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

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. Immediate complete occlusion and occlusion with residual neck was achieved in 66.7%

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

HIT patients had significantly higher rates of deep vein thrombosis (p < 0.01), pulmonary embolism (p < 0.01), central venous sinus thrombosis (p = 0.01), pneumonia (p < 0.01), urinary tract infection (p < 0.01), acute kidney injury (p < 0.01), and cerebral vasospasm (p < 0.01).

Abstract 022: Acute Kidney Injury in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Exploring its Clinical Significance and Prognostic Implications

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionSubarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) resulting from the spontaneous rupture of an aneurysm is a rare and highly debilitating condition. Despite its severity, patients with aneurysmal SAH remain understudied, particularly concerning the evaluation of the incidence and consequences of subsequent acute kidney injury (AKI).

A teenager with chest pain, a troponin below the limit of detection, and "benign early repolarization"

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

CT angiogram chest: no aortic dissection or pulmonary embolism. Repeat CT angio chest (not CT coronary, unclear what protocol) showed possible LAD aneurysm and thrombus. No further troponins were measured. Serial chest xrays: progressive bilateral pulmonary edema. No further cath details available. Was this coincidence? —

Abstract 169: Antiplatelet regimens after pseudoaneurysm embolization with phosphorylcholine coated flow diverters: a series of 180 cases

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

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
