New treatment option for ruptured brain aneurysms
Researchers in Finland have identified an effective new treatment option for patients who have suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm, a potentially life-threatening event. Results of the new study on stent-assisted coil embolization were published today in the online edition of Radiology. view more (2009-08-26)
Operation for aneurysm yields nearly normal longevity
Preventive operations are being used more and more often to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms. view more (2009-07-08)
Minimally invasive stroke treatment produces better patient outcomes than surgical operation
While minimally invasive coil treatments for those with a ruptured brain aneurysm have proved to be a more effective technique than traditional surgical operation in selected patients, the superior procedure is drastically more expensive. view more (2009-06-01)
Study in Nature Medicine establishes major new treatment target in diseased arteries
Removing a single protein prevents early damage in blood vessels from triggering a later-stage, frequently lethal complication of atherosclerosis. view more (2009-05-11)
The clinical availability of CT colonography
Computed tomographic (CT) colonography allows the visualization of extracolonic organs, thereby permitting the detection of potentially significant pathologies beyond the colon. view more (2009-03-31)
Noninvasive Screening Test May Detect Narrowing in Intracranial Stents According to Study by Rush University Medical Center
Great advances have been made in treating blockages in the arteries of the brain using angioplasty to widen the narrowed artery and a stent to hold the artery open. view more (2009-02-12)
Smokers with stroke in the family 6 times more likely to have stroke too
A new study shows that people who are smokers and have a family history of brain aneurysm appear to be significantly more likely to suffer a stroke from a brain aneurysm themselves. view more (2009-01-05)
Routine Testing After Aneurysm Coiling Carries Low Risk
A very low risk of complication is associated with a routine test that determines whether a brain aneurysm treated with endovascular coiling has started to recur, a study led by the University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute has shown. view more (2008-11-19)
Yale researchers unravel mystery of brain aneurysms
Yale researchers have taken the first critical steps in unraveling the mysteries of brain aneurysms, the often fatal rupturing of blood vessels that afflicts 500,000 people worldwide each year and nearly killed Vice President-elect Joseph Biden two decades ago. view more (2008-11-10)
NYC first: Complex aneurysm treated using new fenestrated endograft stent
In a New York City metro-area first, a 93-year-old Bronx man underwent implantation of a new stent graft at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, the only center on the Eastern Seaboard with access to this investigational device. view more (2008-07-08)
Will screening for aortic aneurysm be effective?
Pilot screening programmes for abdominal aortic aneurysms in men aged 65 are due to be launched in England this year, but is this move too hasty? Two experts debate the issue in this week's BMJ. view more (2008-04-18)
MRI better than MDCT in detecting endoleaks, study says
Contrast-enhanced MR imaging is significantly superior to 16 slice multidetector CT in the detection of endoleaks after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurisms (EVAR), according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Ospedale San Giovanni in Bellinzona, Switzerland. view more (2008-04-14)
Smokers treated for brain aneurysm with coils at higher risk of recurrence
Cigarette smokers who were treated for cerebral aneurysms with coil embolization (blocking of a blood vessel) are at greater risk of developing another aneurysm, say neurological surgeons at Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience in Philadelphia in the first-known study of its kind. view more (2008-03-20)
A strange case of upper obstructive syndrome
Aorto-duodenal fistulae (ADF) are the most frequent aorto-enteric fistulae (80%) and the most frequent presenting sign of ADF is upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGI). view more (2008-02-25)
UC study: New devices less effective in thwarting brain aneurysm recurrence
A retrospective analysis of 100 patients suffering from a ruptured brain aneurysm has found that expensive new coiling devices are no more effective than bare platinum coils at preventing aneurysms from recurring. view more (2008-02-22)
Study Finds Half of Patients Undergoing Cerebrovascular Stent Placement Respond Poorly to the Antiplatelet Drug Clopidogrel (Plavix)
A study by researchers at Rush University Medical Center, published in the February issue of the American Journal of Neuroradiology, finds that half of patients undergoing cerebrovascular stent placement did not respond well to clopidogrel. Clopidogrel (Plavix) and aspirin are medications routinely prescribed for 1-3 months following... view more... (2008-02-06)
Arterial vascular disease underdiagnosed, undertreated in older US women
Though arterial vascular disease is widespread and often deadly among older American women, doctors too often fail to spot and treat it, according to a new report by a team of vascular surgeons from the Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medical College campuses of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. view more (2007-11-26)
Life-threatening gene defect located by UT-Houston researchers
A research team led by scientists at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston has identified a defective gene that affects vascular smooth-muscle cells in people who suffer from hereditary thoracic aortic disease, which can kill victims with little warning in the prime of their lives. view more (2007-11-12)
A new key to detecting deadly aortic aneurysms
Yale scientists have discovered a way to use a simple blood test that may accurately detect thoracic aneurysm disease (TAA), which gives little warning and is almost always fatal if untreated. view more (2007-10-25)
Preclinical Study Links Gene to Brain Aneurysm Formation
University of Cincinnati (UC) neurovascular researchers have identified a gene that-when suppressed or completely absent-may predispose a person to brain aneurysms. view more (2007-08-08)
