Dynamic <span>pseudo‐continuous arterial spin labeling</span> angiography using a <span>3D</span>‐radial multi‐spoke <span>spoiled gradient‐recalled</span> sequence Open
Purpose Accurate identification of arterial feeders and draining veins is critical for treatment decision‐making in patients with intracranial high‐flow vascular lesions. Currently available MRI sequences lack the temporal and spatial reso…

The Australian Diagnostic Criteria for Contrast-Induced Encephalopathy Open
Introduction Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a recognised complication of contrast administration, however diagnosis remains challenging due to its symptom overlap with other neurological conditions and the absence of formal diagn…

Incidence of contrast-induced neurotoxicity following endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms: a single-centre cohort study Open
Background Contrast-induced neurotoxicity (CIN) is a recognised complication of endovascular procedures and has been increasingly observed in recent years. Amongst other clinical gaps, the precise incidence of CIN is unclear, particularly …

Neuroradiological features of contrast-induced neurotoxicity: A systematic review and pooled analysis Open
Neuroimaging is an essential part of the diagnostic workup of CIN. Analysis of the anatomical location and laterality of imaging abnormalities may suggest relationship between radiological features and actual clinical symptoms, although th…

P.121 Subgaleal versus subdural drain after minicraniotomy for chronic subdural haematoma Open
Background: Subdural and subgaleal drains are equally effective after burrhole craniostomy for chronic subdural haematoma, however the optimal location of drains after minicraniotomy is not clear. As such we present the first study to asse…

Pathophysiology of Contrast-Induced Neurotoxicity: A Narrative Review of Possible Mechanisms Open
Background: Contrast-induced neurotoxicity (CIN) is an increasingly observed event following the administration of iodinated contrast. It presents as a spectrum of neurological symptoms that closely mimic ischaemic stroke, ho…

Current knowledge and perspectives of contrast-induced neurotoxicity: A survey of Australian clinicians Open
Contrast-induced Neurotoxicity (CIN) is an increasingly recognised complication following endovascular procedures. It remains a relatively unexplored clinical entity, and we sought to characterise clinician perspectives towards CIN, as wel…

View article: A Meta-Analysis of Rupture Risk for Intracranial Aneurysms 10 mm or Less in Size Selected for Conservative Management Without Repair
A Meta-Analysis of Rupture Risk for Intracranial Aneurysms 10 mm or Less in Size Selected for Conservative Management Without Repair Open
Background Small unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) are considered to have low risk of rupture. The proportion of UIAs measuring 10 mm or less in size that rupture when selected for conservative management without repair is not well …

Association of Onset-to-Treatment Time With Discharge Destination, Mortality, and Complications Among Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Open
This cohort study found evidence that more favorable outcomes (discharge home and survival at 12 months) were achieved when surgical treatment occurred at approximately 12.5 hours. These findings provide more clarity around optimal timelin…

Changes and innovations for the surgical management of intracranial aneurysms Open
Advancements have been made in the understanding of intracranial aneurysms and their management. Surgical strategies have evolved, with many principles revisited, many approaches reconsidered, and many frontiers successfully conquered. The…

Advancing convergent mixed methods design using the Diamond Approach for clinical multiple case studies: an example using data on time to treatment in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage Open
Using a new approach to the analysis and synthesis of a clinically focused mixed-methods multiple case study of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH), we explored barriers and facilitators to timely treatment. In this paper we provide…

A novel robotic gripper for automated suturing during minimally invasive mitral valve repair Open
This paper presents a novel robotic needle-holder which facilitates safe and precise suturing during minimally invasive surgery (MIS). MIS suturing requires high-precision needle-positioning to be performed inside a severely limited worksp…

Ruptured distal anterior choroidal artery aneurysm presenting as isolated intraventricular hemorrhage: Case report and comprehensive review of the literature Open
Distal anterior choroidal artery (AChA) aneurysms are infrequent. We discuss the case of a 59-year-old patient who presented with an isolated intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) secondary to a ruptured distal AChA aneurysm. Initial noninvasi…

Neonatal intracranial aneurysms: case report and review of the literature Open
Intracranial aneurysms in the neonate, presenting in the first 4 weeks of life, are exceedingly rare. They appear to have characteristics, including presentation and location, that vary from those found in adults. The authors present a cas…

Feasibility of Real-Time Angiographic Perfusion Imaging in the Treatment of Cerebral Vasospasm Open
Background: Objective assessment and quantification of the severity of cerebral vasospasm following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is not routinely utilized. We investigated the feasibility of angiographic perfusion imagi…
