In the past 4 years, 11 patients with cardial varix bleeding were experienced. The cardial varices were of 2 types, nodular and serpentine. The nodular varices were caused by gastro-renal shunt and the site of bleeding often existed on the posterior wall. The serpentine cardial varices were an
It is now recognized that spinal dural arteriovenous fistula causes myelopathy, resulting from congestive venous hypertension of the spinal cord. We have recently encountered a rare case of high cervical spinal cord dural arteriovenous fistula which caused intracranial subarachnoid hemorrhage. The
OBJECTIVE
Optimal treatment strategies and neurologic outcome after stroke depend on an accurate characterization of the lesion. There is a need for high resolution noninvasive imaging for assessment of the infarct size, perfusion, and vascular territory. MRI at the ultra high field (UHF) of 8 T
Giant intracranial aneurysms account for only about 5% of all intracranial aneurysms. Giant intradural aneurysms are associated with severe natural history, yet remain potentially curable. These aneurysms cause symptoms due to their mass effect, and only 14-35% of cases present with subarachnoid
We report a case of a giant serpentine aneurysm (GSA) located at the left internal carotid artery (ICA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) treated by ligation of the left ICA with superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis. The aneurysm form changed variously during the
We report the acute and 30-day results with a new serpentine-design, tubular, stainless steel, balloon-expandable stent (beStent) in the first 100 patients. One hundred forty-eight stents were used to treat 103 narrowings in the left anterior descending (n = 46), left circumflex (n = 20), and right
BACKGROUND
Giant cerebral aneurysms (GCA) are defined by sizes above 2.5 cm. GCA clinically appear by the mass effect exerted on adjacent structures, and in other cases, by embolismal action of the mural thrombo or as a post rupture subarachnoid hemorrhage. THERAPEUTICAL OPTIONS INCLUDE: inducting
With the emergence of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) strain IVb in the Great Lakes of North America, hatchery managers have become concerned that this important pathogen could be transmitted by animals other than fish. Turtles are likely candidates because they are poikilotherms that feed
Although glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a World Health Organization grade IV astrocytoma, is the most common primary brain tumor in humans, in dogs GBM is relatively rare, accounting for only about 5% of all astrocytomas. This study presents combined clinical, neuroimaging, and neuropathologic
The authors report three cases of ruptured, large or giant aneurysms that were treated by excision or trapping, followed by revascularization of distal vessels by means of arterial reimplantation or superficial temporal artery interpositional grafting. In the first case, a large serpentine aneurysm
Previous reports of outcome after endovascular treatment of posterior cerebral artery (PCA) aneurysms have been limited. This study aimed to describe the clinical outcome and angiographic results obtained in the endovascular therapy of PCA aneurysm over a six year period. Endovascular treatment
240 patients with giant aneurysms admitted to 10 Italian centres were evaluated regarding radiological features and relationships to the outcome. Visualization of the aneurysm without contrast was obtained on CT scan in 49% of patients with aneurysms between 2 and 2.5 cm in diameter (A 1 group) and
Isolated gastrointestinal venous malformations (GIVMs) are extremely rare congenital developmental abnormalities of the venous vasculature. Because of their asymptomatic nature, the diagnosis is often quite challenging. However, as symptomatic GIVMs have nonspecific clinical OBJECTIVE
Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare disorder characterized by benign smooth-muscle tumours, termed leiomyomas, which originate from uterine leiomyomas or pelvic veins. Tumours may extend into the right-sided heart chambers, termed intracardiac leiomyomatosis (ICLM), and may be potentially
Small vessels gradually reappear within the esophageal wall after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy or endoscopic variceal ligation, which causes late recurrent bleeding. Additional ligation or a small amount of sclerotherapy of these thin and serpentine vessels is sometimes difficult to perform,
