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

Circulation

Aim:This study investigates the prevalence of isolated interventricular membranous septal (IVMS) aneurysms detected via echocardiography and assesses the associated stroke risk without other classical risk factors.Methods:We searched the echocardiography database at Mount Sinai Morningside from January 2017 to September 2023.

Clinical Scales in Aneurysm Rupture Prediction

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. The rate of incidentally discovered unruptured intracranial aneurysms has increased with the broad availability of neuroimaging. The determination of the risk of rupture of brain aneurysms is challenging. The most common scales are PHASES, ELAPSS, and UIATS.
