TL;DR: Four cases of spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas supplied exclusively by branches of the internal iliac artery are presented in which the clinical and magnetic resonance presentation were not suggestive of this unusual supply.

TL;DR: A case of a posterior inferior cerebellar artery pseudoaneurysm with subarachnoid hemorrhage resulting from a transoral head and neck tumor biopsy with transcatheter coil embolization is presented.

TL;DR: A case of massive posterior epistaxis caused by a cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm treated with endovascular placement of electrolytically detachable platinum embolization coils and discusses aspects of using these above coils for this condition.
Abstract: We present a case of massive posterior epistaxis caused by a cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm. This lesion was treated with endovascular placement of electrolytically detachable platinum embolization coils. The treatment resulted in cessation of epistaxis until the patient's death 3 months following embolization. We discuss aspects of using these above coils for this condition.

TL;DR: The experience in treating 274 patients with stenosis of the brachiocephalic vessels treated by balloon angioplasty techniques is reported, indicating good results in both the management of symptomatic and non- symptomatic patients.
Abstract: Cerebral percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is being performed with increasing frequency in patients with angiographically documented stenosis of greater than 70%, who are symptomatic and are not good candidates for surgical endarterectomy. The initial reports of cerebral PTA were described in the early 1980s. Over the past decade, with the development of microballoons and guidewires which have allowed the interventional neuroradiologists safer access to the head and neck vessels, more centers have been performing angioplasty for both extra- and intracranial lesions including atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, ateritis, vessel dissection, and postsurgical intimai hyperplasia. We report our experience in treating 274 patients with stenosis of the brachiocephalic vessels treated by balloon angioplasty techniques.

TL;DR: Treating giant intracranial aneurysm is technically feasible by interventional techniques and Continued advances in endovascular therapy should expand the indications and decrease associated morbidity.
Abstract: Interventional neurovascular treatment of giant intracranial aneurysms is now being performed in selected cases utilizing detachable balloons, microcoils, and electrolytic detachable coils. Of the 321 cases treated by interventional techniques by our group, 95 (29.6%) were giant aneurysms, > 2.5 cm in diameter. In 74 cases, the aneurysm was on the anterior circulation, and in 21 involved the posterior circulation. The patients presented with mass effect in 81 cases (85.3%), subarachnoid hemorrhage in 11 (11.6%), and thromboemboli in 3 (3.1 %). In 64 cases (67.4%), the aneurysm was treated by parent vessel occlusion, and in 31 (32.6%), direct treatment of the aneurysm with preservation of the parent artery was attained. Complications related to treatment included 11 cases (11.6%) of stroke, transient cerebral ischemia in 6 (6.3%), and 9 deaths (9.5%). Treating giant intracranial aneurysm is technically feasible by interventional techniques. Continued advances in endovascular therapy should expand the indications and decrease associated morbidity.
