  • Preliminary data demonstrate that this extremely flexible stent is technically easy to deploy and can be easily and safely maneuvered through severely tortuous vessels, enabling the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms. (ajnr.org)
Cause an aneurysm1
Mycotic2
  • This report describes the case of a 60-year-old male patient who presented with non-specific abdominal symptoms and, on workup, was diagnosed with superior mesenteric artery mycotic aneurysm. (bvsalud.org)
  • This case report highlights the possibility of a ruptured intercostal mycotic aneurysm in patients with pyogenic spondylodiscitis and reminds physicians to be alert of this rare but potentially fatal complication. (bvsalud.org)
Small aneurysms2
  • Most small aneurysms have low likelihood of near-term complications and can be monitored with serial ultrasound or CT scans. (tuftsmedicalcenter.org)
  • CBAs, also known as miliary aneurysms or microaneurysms, are small aneurysms that arise from arterioles usually less than 300 µm in diameter [ 18 ]. (nature.com)
Fistulas2
Ectasia6
Intracranial4
  • We assessed the technical feasibility and efficacy of the combined application of a flexible, self-expanding neurovascular stent and detachable coils in the management of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms in humans. (ajnr.org)
  • Four consecutive patients with a wide-necked intracranial aneurysm were treated with a combined approach that consisted of delivery of a flexible self-expanding neurovascular stent through a microcather to cover the neck of the aneurysm and subsequent filling of the aneurysm with coils through the stent interstices. (ajnr.org)
  • We studied the technical feasibility and efficacy of a new, extremely flexible, self-expanding neurovascular stent in combination with subsequent coil embolization for the treatment of wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. (ajnr.org)
  • age range, 43-49 years) with a wide-necked intracranial aneurysm were treated with the Neuroform microdelivery stent system (Smart Therapeutics, Inc./Boston Scientific, San Leandro, CA) and detachable platinum coils. (ajnr.org)
Hypertension2
  • In hypertension, the cause of hemorrhage is thought to be elevated blood pressure-induced degenerative changes in the penetrating arterioles leading to rupture [ 14 ]. (nature.com)
  • Hypertension and atherosclerosis are causes of an aneurysm as are other disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Marfan's syndrome. (differencebetween.net)
Atherosclerosis1
Heart6
  • We present a rare case of a 59-year-old gentleman, who had, previously, underwent multiple left heart catheterizations and percutaneous coronary interventions. (aku.edu)
  • If an aneurysm is found during a heart scan, it might be helpful to know that most of these changes settle over the following two years. (societi.org.uk)
  • Coronary artery aneurysms can cause some symptoms similar to those of a heart attack. (differencebetween.net)
  • A coronary calcium scan uses medication to slow your heart and an EKG machine to record your heart's electrical activity during the scan. (healthgrades.com)
  • Fibrous aneurysms interfere with the heart function through the loss of contractility. (bvsalud.org)

Patient2
  • For smaller aneurysms, the best course of treatment may involve observation and monitoring, with an echocardiogram every six months and possible medication if the patient has high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels. (cedars-sinai.org)
  • Was the death specific clinical conditions (i.e. acute myocardial infarction, coronary of this patient expected? (who.int)
Patients9
  • Most patients do not notice anything is wrong until or unless the aortic aneurysm begins to dissect (tear) or rupture, which can lead to massive bleeding and is life-threatening. (tuftsmedicalcenter.org)
  • In thin patients or those with very large abdominal aneurysms, a pulsing mass may be felt in the middle of the abdomen. (tuftsmedicalcenter.org)
  • About 73 % patients present with single aneurysms while only 27 % present with multiple aneurysms. (aku.edu)
  • Two patients had rupture of the aneurysm into the left atrium. (longdom.org)
  • both abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms were selected to create 3D animations and applications to educate medical professionals and patients regarding treatment options. (springer.com)
  • Stent placement in the desired position with complete or nearly complete occlusion of the aneurysms was feasible in all patients. (ajnr.org)
  • 2,3 In other terms, associated coronary aneurysm formation in these patients mostly arises as a secondary phenomenon that emerges successively and progresses over time. (revportcardiol.org)
  • Patients with a family history of the condition have also been shown to be at an increased risk of developing aortic aneurysms. (cedars-sinai.org)

Risk of rupture2
  • They have the risk of rupture and may sometimes cause hemothorax and can be potentially life-threatening. (bvsalud.org)
  • With regard to the high amount of Von Mises stress, the risk of rupture of the aneurysm is higher in this case. (karger.com)
Lesions1
  • Focal lesions indicate only part of the wall is involved which may become weak , leading to aneurysm formation which may be followed by rupture. (symptoma.com)
Acute coronary3
Bulge1
Complication1
  • A rare complication of this condition are coronary artery aneurysms. (wikipedia.org)
Diameter1
  • Although a consensus classification of CAA is lacking, CAA is generally defined as dilations of the coronary artery where the diameter of the distended segment is 150% of the diameter of the adjacent segments [ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Myocardium1
  • Angiographic evaluation of the coronary artery system is indicated on an urgent basis but should be performed with caution because of the inherent instability of the diseased myocardium. (medscape.com)
