Initial and Long-Term Outcomes of Complex Bifurcation Aneurysms Treated by Y-Stent-Assisted Coiling with Low-Profile Braided Stents.
Coiling complex intracranial bifurcation aneurysms often necessitates the implantation of double stents in various configurations, such as Y-stent placement. Low-profile braided stents have been introduced recently to facilitate the endovascular treatment of wide-neck aneurysms. We aimed to investigate the feasibility, safety, efficacy, and durability of Y-stent-assisted coiling with double low-profile braided stents for the treatment of complex bifurcation aneurysms. ⋯ The long-term angiographic and clinical outcomes of this retrospective study demonstrate that Y-stent-assisted coiling using low-profile braided stents is an effective, relatively safe, and durable endovascular treatment for wide-neck and complex bifurcation aneurysms.

The Top 20 Most Prolific Authors in the American Journal of Neuroradiology: What Is Their Impact?
Many articles that are relevant to patient care but published in radiology journals may escape notice by clinicians. We sought to determine how often the 20 most prolific American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR) authors from 2013 to 2017 published in clinical journals and the extent to which their articles were disseminated into the clinical literature. ⋯ Regardless of where it is published, radiology research is disseminating into the clinical realm. Radiology articles published in clinical journals are cited more often than those published in radiology journals.
