Wide-necked anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms pose challenges for endovascular coiling due to the risk of coil protrusion. This case report describes a new endovascular technique for managing ruptured wide-necked ACoA aneurysms, addressing the risk of coil protrusion during embolization. This method employs a combined microcatheter and guidewire-assisted embolization method, enabling coil deployment without needing adjunctive devices such as stents or balloons.

Doxazosin-an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker-relaxes ureteral smooth muscles, reducing peristalsis and contraction frequency. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive doxazosin before semi-rigid ureteroscopy and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for urinary stones.
