BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A number of studies have examined the role of matrix
metalloproteinases in aneurysm healing following endovascular coiling. Because ruptured …

Background Owing to their anti-inflammatory effects and ability to stimulate production of
extracellular matrix and chemotactic migration of mesenchymal progenitor cells, statins …

OBJECTIVE Cerebral aneurysms represent the most common cause of spontaneous
subarachnoid hemorrhage. Statins are lipid-lowering agents that may expert multiple …

Several basic experimental studies have demonstrated that statins have beneficial effects for
intracranial aneurysm (IA). Clinical studies on unruptured IAs, however, remain limited to …

AbsTrACT background and purpose A large proportion of patients with unruptured
intracranial aneurysm (IA) are not suitable for surgical clipping and endovascular treatment …

Objective Management after stent-assisted coiling (SAC) for unruptured intracranial
aneurysm is sometimes difficult because close monitoring for ischemic events for a long …

Background: Recurrence after intracranial aneurysm coiling is a highly prevalent outcome,
yet to be understood. We investigated clinical, radiological and procedural factors …

Objective The effect of patient age on the likelihood of recurrence of ruptured aneurysms
after endovascular coil embolization is not well understood. Our aim was to compare the …

Background and purpose Early major recurrence (EMR) of cerebral aneurysms treated by
coiling has not been investigated. The purpose of this study is to characterize the frequency …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Use of statin medications has been demonstrated to
improve clinical and angiographic outcomes in patients receiving endovascular stent …
