Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of LVIS Jr stent-assisted coiling (SAC) of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) in small-diameter parent arteries and determine the factors influencing incomplete aneurysm occlusion.
Material And Methods: Clinical and imaging data of 130 patients with IAs in small-diameter parent arteries that were treated with LVIS Jr SAC were retrospectively analyzed. Stent apposition was evaluated by high-resolution flat detector CT, and aneurysm embolization density was evaluated using 2D-DSA. Perioperative complications were recorded. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine possible factors for incomplete aneurysm occlusion.
Results: In this study, 130 patients (60 and 70 patients with ruptured and unruptured aneurysms, respectively) were successfully treated with LVIS Jr SAC. Immediate digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed that the aneurysm occlusion was Raymond-Roy class I, II, IIIa, and IIIb in 93 (71.5%), 24 (18.5%), 8 (6.2%), and 5 (3.8%) cases, respectively. There were three cases of acute in-stent thrombosis and two cases of severe vasospasm observed during the perioperative period. The 6‑month follow-up angiograms indicated that complete aneurysm occlusion in 122 patients was 79.5% (97/122). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that an aneurysm size > 10.0 mm, parent artery mean diameter < 2.0 mm, and incomplete stent apposition at the aneurysm neck were possible risk factors for incomplete aneurysm occlusion.
Conclusion: The LVIS Jr SAC is effective for managing IAs in small-diameter parent arteries. An aneurysm size > 10.0 mm, parent artery mean diameter < 2.0 mm, and incomplete stent apposition at the aneurysm neck are possible risk factors for incomplete aneurysm occlusion.

Outcomes of stent-assisted coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms with a small parental vessel diameter.

BackgroundStent-assisted coil embolization (SACE) is widely used for treating cerebral aneurysms, particularly bifurcation aneurysms. Although stents are typically indicated for parent vessels larger than 2 mm, their use in small-diameter vessels (<2 mm) hasn't been extensively studied. This study evaluates the safety of SACE with small-diameter vessels.

Cross-passages are small-diameter tunnels between running tunnels or between a tunnel and a shaft, essential for safety, maintenance, emergency evacuation, and ventilation. The geotechnical design of these cross-passages is complex and not well understood. This paper presents results from a parametric study carried out in a three-dimensional finite element framework using an advanced nonlinear elasto-plastic constitutive model to represent the surrounding soil.

Background: Marfan syndrome, a connective tissue disorder, poses unique challenges in neurosurgery, given the fragility of vascular structures. Superior cerebellar artery (SCA) aneurysms in patients with the syndrome are rare and present distinct surgical difficulties, necessitating innovative approaches.
Observations: A 29-year-old male with Marfan syndrome presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured SCA aneurysm.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined thromboembolic complications related to LEO Baby stent-assisted coiling of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms in 149 patients between October 2018 and March 2022.
- The findings revealed a 9.4% rate of thromboembolic events, with higher occurrences in patients with acutely ruptured aneurysms (13.6%) compared to unruptured ones (6.0%).
- Results indicated that a smaller parent artery diameter is linked to a greater risk of thromboembolic complications, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
