Editor’s Choice With a mean follow-up of approximately 15 months, the authors evaluated 41 cases of wide-neck aneurysms. Overall, 78.8% of the aneurysms had complete occlusion in the last follow-up, and 19.5% required retreatment with additional endovascular devices. A good
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors evaluated a total of 426 unruptured aneurysms and 169 ruptured aneurysms that underwent coil embolization in their institution between January 2009 and December 2017. Recanalization occurred in 38 (8.9%) of 426 unruptured aneurysms and 37
Editor’s Choice Consecutive patients with intracranial aneurysms treated with the FRED between February 2012 and March 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Complications and adverse events, transient and permanent morbidity, mortality, and occlusion rates were evaluated. A total of 579 aneurysms in
Editor’s Choice Ten unruptured aneurysms in 9 patients were studied using a high-resolution 3D gradient-echo sequence with cardiac gating. Semiautomatic segmentation was used to measure aneurysm volume per cardiac phase. Aneurysm pulsation was defined as the relative increase in volume
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors performed a retrospective analysis of all ruptured and unruptured aneurysms treated with a WEB device between August 2014 and February 2017. Primary outcome measures included the feasibility of implantation and the angiographic outcome. Secondary outcome
Editor’s Choice This Level 1 expedited report was a pragmatic, multicenter, parallel, randomized (1:1) trial evaluating patients who were at high risk of aneurysm recurrence after endovascular treatment, including patients with large aneurysms (Patients Prone to Recurrence After Endovascular Treatment
Fellows’ Journal Club This is a retrospective review of 48 patients with 50 carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms in which 44 patients with 46 aneurysms were treated with flow diversion from June 2009 to June 2015. There were no permanent adverse visual outcomes.
