Preliminary experience of stent salvage using Neuroform Atlas stent for procedure-related complication during coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms.
Although stent-salvage technique has been well-known to rescue the situation of coil protrusion into the parent artery aggravating to make thromboembolism, the smallest profiled Neuroform Atlas stent can be expected to handle those situations easily compared to previously used intracranial stents. Thus, the purpose of this study was to report our series of stent salvage using the Neuroform Atlas stent for procedure-related complications during coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms. ⋯ Facing with procedure-related complications during coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms, the smallest profiled Neuroform Atlas stent might be a time-saving and feasible option for the salvage technique by using the same microcatheter to deliver coils.

Vertebral hemangiomas: Diagnosis and management. A single center experience.
Vertebral hemangiomas (VH) are common benign lesions involving the spine. Owing to the multiplicity of treatments, the management of VH has not always been consistent. In this retrospective review of a single center experience, indications and options available for the treatment of VH are outlined. ⋯ VH are often discovered incidentally during evaluation of spinal pain. Except in rare cases, the diagnosis of VH is made correctly from the radiographic and MRI studies. Observation for the asymptomatic lesion is appropriate. For VH presenting with deficit or intractable pain, decompressive surgery is recommended. Radiation is appropriate in cases of recurrent VH.
