Endovascular obliteration of an intracranial pseudoaneurysm: the utility of Onyx.

30 Oct 2009 Pseudoaneurysms are rare lesions with a multitude of causes, including infectious, traumatic, and iatrogenic origins. In addition, there are a number of potential treatment options, all of which require consideration to determine the most ... Read more...

Dynamic imaging of a model of intracranial saccular aneurysms using ultra-high-resolution flat-panel volumetric computed tomography. Laboratory investigation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Imaging of intracranial aneurysms using conventional multidetector CT (MDCT) is limited because of nonvisualization of features such as perforating vessels, pulsatile blebs, and neck remnants after clip placement or coil embolization. In ... Read more...

Angiographic computed tomography with selective microcatheterization in delineating surgical anatomy in the case of a dural arteriovenous fistula. Technical note.

30 Oct 2009 Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are commonly encountered in centers specializing in cerebrovascular diseases. Knowing the precise site of fistulous communication with the venous structures is essential in targeting the appropriate ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Catheterization'

Definition: Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions.
