Article Abstract

Background And Purpose: Intracranial aneurysms combined with spontaneous internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO) are a rare and serious vascular disorder. Currently, there is only limited information available on the clinical characteristics of these patients and the risk factors for aneurysm rupture. Our objective is to describe the clinical features of these patients and predict the risk factors for the rupture of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) combined with ICAO.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed cases of intracranial aneurysms with concurrent spontaneous ICAO from the Chinese Multicenter Aneurysm Database(CMAD). We collected population demographic characteristics and clinical data using a standardized case questionnaire from CMAD. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for rupture of UIA associated with combined ICAO.

Results: We identified 93 patients with intracranial aneurysms combined with ICAO, including 38 females and 55 males, with an average age of 60.7 ± 9.5 years (ranging from 32 to 79 years old). Among those with ICAO, 52 had ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIAs) and 41 had UIAs. Specifically, there were 81 cases of unilateral ICAO, with 16 aneurysms located on the same side as the ICAO, 22 in the midline (AcomA, Basilar tip), and 43 on the opposite side of the ICAO; 12 cases were bilateral ICAO. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that risk factors associated with the rupture of UIAs with ICAO included bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion and aneurysms in the posterior circulation. Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed that posterior circulation aneurysms are an independent risk factor for the rupture of UIAs with ICAO.

Conclusion: We have described and analyzed the clinical characteristics and risk factors influencing the rupture of intracranial aneurysms in patients with ICAO. The study found that the location of the aneurysm is an important risk factor for the rupture of UIAs combined with ICAO.

Intracranial aneurysms (ICA) commonly occur in specific segments of the Circle of Willis (CoW), primarily, onto thirteen major arterial bifurcations. An accurate detection of these critical landmarks is necessary for a prompt and efficient diagnosis. We introduce a fully automated landmark detection approach for CoW bifurcations using a two-step neural networks process.

ObjectiveThis study aims to determine the outcomes of nickel allergic patients who underwent a trial of forearm arterial stenting with a nickel-based stent, with follow-up to assess for an allergic reaction. In the absence of adverse effects, patients had their intracranial aneurysm treatment with a nickel-based cerebrovascular device.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on patients who had an allergy to nickel, with an intracranial aneurysm who underwent treatment with a permanently implanted nickel-containing device.

Importance: Recent longitudinal studies in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) suggested that aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) predicts growth and rupture. However, because these studies were limited by small sample size and short follow-up duration, it remains unclear whether this radiological biomarker has predictive value for UIA instability.

Objective: To determine the 4-year risk of instability of UIAs with AWE and investigate whether AWE is an independent predictor of UIA instability.

BackgroundAt present, nonvirtual neurovascular training can be performed using either an angiographic suite under fluoroscopic guidance (entailing radiation exposure) or direct optical visualization with a camera-based system. The angiographic approach offers high-fidelity visualization and catheter control but is constrained by the limited availability of such specialized facilities, whereas the camera-based approach can be implemented virtually anywhere yet lacks comparable realism in key procedural aspects. The objective of this work is to develop and evaluate a novel camera-based angiography training system (CBATS) that generates artificial angiograms and roadmaps, thereby combining the advantages of both imaging techniques while eliminating radiation exposure.
