Intracranially, vertebral artery dissection (VAD) is more commonly encountered than internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD). Deconstructive (EVT-d) and reconstructive (EVT-r) endovascular techniques have been utilized to treat VAD and ICAD. This meta-analysis investigates the safety and efficacy of EVT-r and EVT-d in the management of VAD and ICAD.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000The literature was searched for all studies with consecutive patient series evaluating EVT-d or EVT-r for VAD or ICAD management. Baseline characteristics and outcomes were compared between EVT-r and EVT-d groups using the random-effect model and meta-regression approaches.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Overall, 1095 cases pooled from 56 studies were included. There was no statistically significant difference in baseline characteristics between VAD and ICAD. EVT-r was applied in 647 cases (59.1%) and EVT-d in the rest There was no statistical difference in the rate of procedural complications between EVT-r and EVT-d. Although EVT-d was significantly associated with higher rates of complete aneurysm occlusion (86.4%), lower rates of good clinical outcomes (72.1%) and higher mortality (15.1%) were achieved compared to EVT-r (70.2%, 83.3%, and 9.5%; respectively). The mortality rate was higher, and good clinical outcomes were less common in ruptured aneurysms. Ischemic presentation was statistically associated with poor outcomes (mRS 3-5) but low mortality. ICAD often tended to grow following treatment and resulted in poor neurological outcomes.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000IAD has favorable outcomes when treated appropriately. Novel reconstructive endovascular techniques are promising and should be integrated well in endovascular practice. Further studies are warranted.","PeriodicalId":126264,"journal":{"name":"Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133097446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study reports a systematic literature review (SLR) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using SVB to treat intracranial aneurysms in vessels less than 3.5 mm in diameter.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000We performed a PRISMA-compliant SLR to evaluate the outcomes of SVB in the treatment of aneurysms in small intracranial vessels. Primary outcomes were occlusion status and major stroke, and secondary outcomes included all-cause mortality, procedure-related neurologic death, and post-operative aneurysm rupture. Data were expressed as descriptive statistics only.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000A total of four studies, including 163 patients with 173 intracranial aneurysms, were included. The most common aneurysm locations were the anterior cerebral artery (24.9% [43/173]), the middle cerebral artery (24.3% [42/173]), and the anterior communicating artery (23.1% [40/173]). Parent artery diameter ranged from 0.9 mm to 3.6 mm, and 29% were acutely or previously ruptured aneurysms. Overall, complete or near-complete occlusion was 72.1% on early-term follow-up. Mortality rate among the studies was 2.5%, with 3 instances adjudicated as neurologic deaths (1.8%). Major stroke was noted in 1.2% of cases, and branch occlusion or stent thrombus formation in 5.5%.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000Our review suggests that SVB is a safe and effective treatment for intracranial aneurysms in small vessels. Further prospective and comparative studies with patient outcome data specific to aneurysm location are needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of SVB.","PeriodicalId":126264,"journal":{"name":"Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117117487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Wingspan Stent System is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved with human device exemption for a limited patient group and despite numerous prospective registries and trials demonstrating reasonable safety, still carries warnings from the FDA for its use. Given these limitations, we present the technical nuances and outcomes of the off-label use of the Resolute Onyx drug-eluting stent (DES) for neurointerventional purposes.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000Retrospective chart review of all patients undergoing a neurointerventional procedure with the Resolute Onyx DES was done from January 2017-2021. The Resolute Onyx is a coronary balloon-mounted drug-eluting (zotarolimus) single wire laser cut stent. Technical details and procedural outcomes were collected.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000In total 40 patients had attempted placement of the Resolute Onyx DES with procedural success in 95% of patients. The most common vessel stented was the basilar artery, 30% (12/40). The most common indication was intracranial atherosclerotic disease in 62.5% (25/40) patients, followed by acute stroke in 17.5% (7/40) of patients. The technical and procedural outcomes were excellent with only one technical complication (2.5%).\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000This series describes the initial technical safety and utility of utilizing a new generation balloon-mounted drug-eluting stent for neurointerventional purposes.
