INTRODUCTION: Thoracic disc herniations (TDH) are challenging pathologies to treat. Surgical options often include morbid procedures with high complication profiles. Full endoscopic spine surgery (FESS) offers an ultra-minimally invasive option for in the lumbar spine. It minimizes collateral damage by limiting bony resection and incision size while decreasing blood loss (EBL), length of stay (LOS), post-op pain, infection rates. FESS has been described as a feasible safe technique TDH....
Abstract BACKGROUND The minimally invasive parafascicular approach provides a surgical corridor to reach deep lesions with minimal impact on the surrounding brain tissue. OBJECTIVE To evaluate safety and efficacy of this utilizing image-guided tubular BrainPath system (NICO Corp, Indianapolis, Indiana) for resection subcortical supratentorial cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs). METHODS We performed retrospective analysis patients who presented CCMs treated system. Patient demographics,...
Background Thromboembolic complications are the primary risks of stent-coiling cerebral aneurysms. The utility platelet function testing in stent-assisted aneurysm coiling remains controversial. This study aimed to assess a pharmacy-mediated antiplatelet management protocol for coiling. Methods Stent-coiled aneurysms at an academic institution United States between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients managed using protocol, which required repeated subsequent dose...
Abstract BACKGROUND The R2eD AVM scoring system has been recently proposed to predict the risk of hemorrhagic presentation brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). OBJECTIVE To perform first external validation this score. METHODS Over a retrospective 10-yr period from 2009 2019, 122 patients with AVMs fit inclusion criteria. All components required calculate score had be available. Patient demographics and calculations were recorded, as well circumstances their presentation. Multivariable...
We present a case of left upper extremity paresis secondary to acute brachial artery occlusion in an elderly female with active non-ST segment elevation myocardial ischemia (NSTEMI) the setting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The patient was initially suspected have cerebrovascular attack (CVA); however, computed tomography (CT) head negative for stroke. diagnosis confirmed by tomographic angiography (CTA) extremity, confirming occlusion. In evaluating concern stroke atypical presentation,...
The ophthalmic segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) represents a common site for cerebral aneurysms. However, aneurysms (OphA) itself represent rare lesions and have been associated with trauma flow-related such as arteriovenous fistulas or malformations. Here, we explore clinical radiological features four patients managed five proper (POAAs).Patients undergoing diagnostic angiogram (DCA) between January 2018 November 2021 newly previously identified POAA were retrospectively...
