background: management of intracranial aneurysms has made debates about the best treatment modality in recent years. the aim of this study was to compare the interventional outcomes between two groups of patients, one treated with endovascular coiling and the other treated with surgical clipping. methods: this prospective study included 48 patients with intracranial aneurysms who underwent endo...

Internal carotid-posterior communicating artery (IC-PC) aneurysms account for more than 20% of all intracranial aneurysms. As a result of the increase in coiling, there has also been an increase in recurrent IC-PC aneurysms after coiling. We present our experience of 10 recurrent IC-PC aneurysms after coiling that were retreated using surgical or endovascular techniques in order to discuss the ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stent-assisted coiling was initially invented for wide-neck aneurysms, but is now used for smaller berry aneurysms. The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficiency of stent-assisted coiling with conventional coiling in treatment of intracranial aneurysms. METHODS A meta-analysis of studies that compared stent-assisted coiling with coiling only was conduct...

Background: Umbilical coiling index (UCI) is the number of coils in cord divided by cordlength centimeters. .On basis UCI umbilical cords have been grouped as: hypocoiled,( UCILess than 10th percentile ) normocoiled ( between 10th–90th percentile) and hypercoiled (UCIMore 90th percentile). Various reports shown that abnormal associated withadverse perinatal outcomes.There a wide variations amon...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Both endovascular and surgical options are available for treatment of unruptured cerebral aneurysms. We conducted a study to determine the costs versus Medicare reimbursement for hospitalization of these patients, which is important information for understanding the economic impact of these patients on hospitals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the NIS, we identified hospit...
