Review Meta Analysis
Endovascular treatment of ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysms: a single armed meta-analysis and systematic review.
The use of endovascular treatment for ruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms, which have been more likely to be recommended for neurosurgical clipping because of the complex anatomic configuration, remains controversial. In the present study, the angiographic and clinical outcomes of endovascularly treated ruptured MCA aneurysms were systematically reviewed. ⋯ Endovascular treatment of MCA aneurysms was related to a high incidence of procedure-related complications but a low rate of procedure-related mortality. The overall angiographic and clinical outcomes were comparable and warrant further investigation comparing clipping versus coiling for ruptured MCA aneurysms.

Multicenter Study
Prospective registry of embolization of intracranial aneurysms using HydroSoft coils: Results of the Japanese HydroSoft Registry.
The effect of HydroSoft coils on the prevention of recanalization and thrombosis after embolization is unclear. We herein report the results of the single-armed prospective Japanese HydroSoft Registry. ⋯ The safety and prevention of recanalization 1 year after the treatment appeared acceptable. The high volume embolization ratio associated with HydroSoft coils could induce progression of thrombosis for aneurysms characterized by NR and BF during the follow-up period.
