Mycotic Aneurysms are aneurysms (or pseudoaneurysms) which result from an infectious etiology. Group-B Strep (GBS) associated mycotic exceedingly rare and current literature varies on presentation diagnostic criteria. This case is a of likely aortic arch pseudoaneurysm induced GBS Bacteremia cervical osteomyelitis in 60-year-old male.

PURPOSE To assess the accuracy of three-dimensional CT angiography (CTA) in the detection and characterization of intracranial aneurysms and to help determine its role as a screening test for aneurysms in the asymptomatic population and as an adjunct to angiography in subarachnoid hemorrhages and in the follow-up of untreated aneurysms. METHODS In a blinded, prospective study, the 3-D CTA stu...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We report our experience using Matrix coils in coiling of cerebral aneurysms. METHODS Clinical and angiographic outcomes of 152 patients (165 aneurysms) treated exclusively with Matrix coils were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS There were 74 ruptured aneurysms (44.8%) and 91 unruptured (55.2%). After coiling, 84 (50.9%) aneurysms were occluded, 38 (23.0%) aneurysms ...

Coiling is increasingly used as treatment for intracranial aneurysms with favorable short-term outcome. Concern exists about long-term reopening and the inherent risk of recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and long-term imaging follow-up is advocated. It is unknown for how long and how often coiled aneurysms need to be followed and what subgroups carry a higher or lower risk for reopening....

aneurysms of the left main coronary artery are exceedingly rare clinical entities, encountered incidentally in approximately 0.1% of patients who undergo routine angiography. the most common cause of coronary artery aneurysms is atherosclerosis. angiography is the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment. depending on the severity of the coexisting coronary stenosis, patients with left main co...

Posterior cerebral artery (ACP) aneurysms account for less than 2% of all aneurysms. The fronto-temporo-zygomatic approach allows access to the cranial base with parenchymal damage. Endoscopy you visualize deep structures. Fluorescein verify permeability after clipping.

AIM To describe the classification of aneurysms coexisting with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and their endovascular treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Based on the basis of radiological findings and clinical features, 59 aneurysms coexisting with AVMs were classified into four different types: intranidal, flow-related (proximal and distal), and unrelated. These aneurysms were treated by en...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE According to the International Study of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms (ISUIA), anterior circulation (AC) aneurysms of <7 mm in diameter have a minimal risk of rupture. It is general experience, however, that anterior communicating artery (AcoA) aneurysms are frequent and mostly rupture at <7 mm. The aim of the study was to assess whether AcoA aneurysms behave differen...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The natural history and optimal management of incidentally found small unruptured aneurysms <5 mm in size remain unclear. A prospective study was conducted to determine the optimal management for incidentally found small unruptured aneurysms. METHODS From September 2000 to January, 2004, 540 aneurysms (446 patients) were registered. Four hundred forty-eight unruptured a...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The goal of endovascular treatment of cerebral bifurcation aneurysms is to achieve safe coiling of the sac along with preserving patency of the diverging branches. Our purpose was evaluate procedural safety and efficacy as well as the long-term durability of endovascular treatment of bifurcation aneurysms with double stent-assisted coiling. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hun...
