The occurrence of familial cerebral aneurysms lends support to the importance of congenital factors in their pathogenesis. The information on the subject is, however, still meagre, there being less than 20 reports in literature. Earlier literature mentions the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents in members of the same family with polycystic kidneys (Dunger, 1904). Tonnis and Lange-Cosack (1...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stents are increasingly used for coiling of difficult aneurysms, to reduce the risk of recurrences, or to modify blood flow. Currently available bifurcation aneurysm models are ill-suited to assess stent performance before clinical use. We designed a new wide-neck canine T-type bifurcation aneurysm model. Its potential value as a training tool as well as in the evaluation...

Extracranial carotid artery aneurysm (ECAA) is a rare vascularpathology with reported incidence of 0.2-5.0% all surgical interventions. Most ECAAs remain clinically asymptomatic, however, they can manifest in neurological symptoms as transient ischemic attack or stroke. The presence pulsating formation, swallowing disorders, signs compression cranial nerves may beindicative the growth, which as...

gram and inactivity were compared in two groups of dogs in which acute myocardial infarction was produced by coronary artery ligation. The exercised group of animals tolerated the training program well, and neither arrhythmia nor sudden death oocurred. At the end of the training program the exercised group of animals displayed the characteristic changes of physical conditioning, namely, reducti...

conclusions the ligation method with attention to the modifications described further in the article is a simple, safe and cost effective option for the management of urethral prolapse.rnmaintaining the inflated balloon of the foley catheter with timed catheter removal especially adds predictability to this technique. results the mean age of the patients was 6 years old (ranging from 3 to 8 yea...
