OBJECTIVES: Fenestrated (FEVAR) and chimney (ChEVAR) endovascular aortic repair have been applied in anatomically suitable complex aortic aneurysms. However, local hemodynamic changes may occur after repair. This study aimed to compare FEVAR's and ChEVAR's hemodynamic properties, focusing on visceral arteries. METHODS: Pre- and post-operative computed tomography angiographies (CTAs) have been used to reconstruct patient-based models. Data of three patients, for each modality, were analyzed...

OBJECTIVE: The Harborview Risk Score (HRS) was recently proposed as scoring tool to predict 30-day mortality in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA). The HRS assigns one point for each of the following preoperative characteristics: age >76 years, pH <7.2, creatinine level >2mg/dL (>176.8 μmol/L) and systolic blood pressure <70mmHg, resulting in scores from 0 to 4. The 30-day mortality risk increases with every point. Primarily, we aimed to validate the HRS for the first time in a Dutch study population...

BACKGROUND: Frailty is an age-related, clinically recognizable state marked by increased susceptibility. The 5-item Modified Frailty Index (mFI-5) offers a concise assessment of frailty and has demonstrated its efficacy in various surgical fields. While the mFI-5 has been validated for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), its applicability in open surgical repair (OSR) for AAA remains largely unexplored. This study sought to evaluate the utility of mFI-5 in predicting 30-day outcomes following OSR for AAA...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA's) pose a rare yet clinically significant challenge, characterized by the weakening and ballooning of the splenic artery, potentially leading to severe complications such as rupture and hemorrhage. CASE PRESENTATION: A 52-year-old female presenting with biliary colic. Diagnostic imaging revealed a saccular lesion closely associated with gallstones. A multidisciplinary approach guided the decision for surgery due to the size and location of the aneurysm...

Angiographically negative subarachnoid hemorrhage (anSAH) has traditionally been considered a benign condition, mainly because of favorable outcomes in the acute stage in comparison to the often negative acute outcomes of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, a growing body of research in recent years shows that anSAH often leads to cognitive impairments, emotional distress, and difficulties in resuming work or other daily life activities. Therefore, in this position paper, we call for a change in neurological care and a shift in patient communication, emphasizing the importance of addressing patient needs and fostering realistic expectations rather than solely focusing on the benign nature of the condition...

AIMS: Previous studies have shown the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with reductions in volume across a spectrum of non-SARS-CoV-2 hospitalizations. In the present study, we examine the impact of the pandemic on patient safety and quality of care. DESIGN: This is a retrospective population-based study of discharge abstracts. METHODS: We applied a set of nationally validated indicators for measuring the quality of inpatient care to hospitalizations in Ontario, Canada between January 2010 and December 2022...

BACKGROUND: Morphologically, the risk of aortic aneurysm rupture is mainly evaluated based on its type (e.g., fusiform or saccular) and diameter. Based on the finite element analysis, peak wall stress has been identified as a more sensitive and specific predictor of rupture in recent years. Moreover, in finite analysis, the neck of aneurysm is the highest peak wall stress and is associated with the rupture point. CASE PRESENTATION: A saccular aortic aneurysm (84 mm) was incidentally detected during preoperative examination for chronic empyema in a 74-year-old male patient with a history of polycythemia...

The Artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger (AWW) is a non-eloquent, tentorial branch of the superior cerebellar artery (SCA). Coursing posteriorly from an intradural origin, the AWW passes through the ambient cistern and supplies the medial tentorium. Due to its small diameter, the AWW is often only identified in the context of secondary dilation from pathologies such as dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF). Herein, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of an aneurysm of the AWW associated with a posterior fossa DAVF Swift identification and diagnosis followed by cautious treatment of both the aneurysm and fistula were critical to avert rupture and optimize outcomes, avoiding potential hemorrhagic complications...

Hypertension, a disease whose prevalence increases with age, induces pathological conditions of ischemic vascular disorders such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction due to accelerated arteriosclerosis and circulatory insufficiency of small arteries and sometimes causes hemorrhagic conditions such as cerebral hemorrhage and ruptured aortic aneurysm. On the other hand, as it is said that aging starts with the blood vessels, impaired blood flow associated with vascular aging is the basis for the development of many pathological conditions, and ischemic changes in target organs associated with vascular disorders result in tissue dysfunction and degeneration, inducing organ hypofunction and dysfunction...

OBJECTIVE: The vast majority of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) undergoing repairs receive endovascular interventions (EVARs) instead of open operations (OARs). While EVARs have better short-term outcomes, OARs have improved longer-term durability and require less radiographic follow-up and monitoring, which may have significant implications on healthcare economics surrounding provision of AAA care nationally. Herein, we compared costs associated with EVAR and OAR of both infrarenal and complex AAAs...

BACKGROUND: In male mice, a circadian rhythm in myogenic reactivity influences the extent of brain injury following subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). We hypothesized that female mice have a different cerebrovascular phenotype and consequently, a distinct SAH-induced injury phenotype. METHODS: SAH was modelled by pre-chiasmatic blood injection. Olfactory cerebral resistance arteries were functionally assessed by pressure myography; these functional assessments were related to brain histology and neurobehavioral assessments...

INTRODUCTION: Traditional large craniotomies have been the standard for aneurysm surgery. However, minimally invasive "keyhole" approaches have gained popularity for aneurysm clipping in recent years. This study focuses on Supra-Orbital Keyhole Approach (SOKHA),its use in clipping of aneurysms of the anterior Circle of Willis. Here we share the experiences of a tertiary care center regarding aneurysm clipping using SOKHA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 166 cases involving aneurysm clipping, with 62 patients undergoing SOKHA and 104 patients undergoing the pterional approach...

Aneurysmal rupture is associated with wall thinning, but the mechanism is poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize the three-dimensional wall-thickness distributions of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Five aneurysmal tissues were investigated using micro-computed tomography. First, the wall thickness was related to the aneurysmal wall appearances during surgery. The median wall thicknesses of the translucent and non-translucent walls were 50.56 and 155.93 µm, respectively (p < 0...
