Abstract

Based on the literature and own experiences the indications for embolization in neurosurgical diseases are presented. This procedure is used for the treatment of arteriovenous malformations and fistulas, preoperatively in richly vascularized neoplasm and non operable tumors. Modern techniques (super-selective angiography, double-lumen balloon-catheter and catheters with detachable balloons) enable to occlude the territory of A. carotis ext., the cavernous portion of A. carotis int., the cervical portion of A. vertebralis, and the dorsal spinal radicular arteries. Complications are rare. There is a limited indication for embolization of the intracerebral area and the territory of A. spinalis and the ventral radiscaular arteries because of additional damage of the central nervous system. Various techniques and possible complications are discussed and own cases are presented.

Stress-strain behavior of the passive basilar artery in normotension and hypertension.

Vascular cells are very responsive to even subtle changes in their local mechanical environment, thus there is a pressing need to quantify normal states of stress and strain as well as any perturbations from these normal states. Toward this end, we must quantify constitutive behaviors for both normal and adapted (maladapted) arteries. In this note, we report the first quantification of changes in the biaxial mechanical behavior of the passive basilar artery due to hypertension.

Ruptured intracranial aneurysm following gamma knife surgery for acoustic neuroma.

A-63-year-old woman underwent gamma knife surgery (GKS) for acoustic neuroma. Six years later, she suffered sudden onset of severe headache followed by a disturbance of consciousness and subarachnoid haemorrhage due to a ruptured aneurysm originating from the distal anterior inferior cerebellar artery. The aneurysm was not located at a branching site and was included within the radiation field. The aneurysm was treated by endovascular embolization, and now, 15 months later, the patient has recovered satisfactorily. This is the first report of aneurysm formation following GKS for acoustic neuroma.
