Abstract

Intraprocedural aneurysmal rupture is a feared complication of coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms and is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. We report the incidence, endovascular management, and clinical outcome of patients with IAR, with emphasis on the role of the balloon-assisted technique. We conducted a retrospective analysis of all intracranial aneurysms treated by coil embolization between September 2001 and June 2011. All patients with IAR were studied. Comparison of immediate clinical outcomes was performed by using univariate analysis (Fisher exact test). Of 652 intracranial aneurysms treated with coil embolization, an IAR occurred in 22 (3.4%). Rupture occurred during placement of coils in 18 cases, microcatheters in 2 cases, and a guidewire in 1 case, and during induction of anesthesia in 1 case. Before treatment, 15 of 22 (68%) patients were in good clinical condition (WFNS grade I). There were fewer patients with worsening of the WFNS grade following an IAR when the balloon-assisted technique was used (7.7%) compared with when it was not (55.5%) (P = .023). Death occurred in 2 (9.1%) patients. IAR is a potentially serious complication of coil embolization. If IAR occurs, balloon-assista...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
