Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The progress in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms has been enormous in the last two decades. Cutting-edge endovascular methods and state-of-the-art revascularizations have brought to us more reliable ways to treat previously inoperable aneurysms. The neurosurgical and neuroendovascular community has reached a point in which aneurysms are rarely untreatable. The main remaining questions for unruptured intracranial aneurysms are:

Which patient needs prophylactic treatment? When is the best treatment timing? What is the best and personalized approach to treat these potentially fatal lesions?

Moreover, the new advances in imaging technology provide to us more reliable views to see intracranial arteries and aneurysms with new computer fluid dynamics and artificial intelligence. Robotics in the endovascular field has showed promise. However, our practice is often based on outdated data and not on personalized approaches for each patient. To define more reliable ways to approach intracranial aneurysm patients, we need new personalized approaches to each patient and lesion.

In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on the clinical and translational advances of intracranial aneurysms in terms of both diagnosis and treatment.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Aim: Postoperative head computed tomography (POCT) is routinely performed in numerous medical institutions, mainly to identify possible postsurgical complications. This study sought to assess the clinical appropriateness of POCT in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients after ruptured or unruptured aneurysm clipping. Methods: This is a retrospective multicenter study involving microsurgical procedures of ruptured (RA) and unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UA) surgeries performed in the Centers associated with the Pomeranian Department of the Polish Society of Neurosurgeons. A database of surgical procedures of intracranial aneurysms from 2017 to 2020 was created. Only patients after a CT scan within 24 h were included. Results: A total of 423 cases met the inclusion criteria for the analysis. Age was the only significant factor associated with postoperative blood occurrence on POCT. A total of 37 (8.75%) cases of deterioration within 24 h with urgent POCT were noted, 3 (8.1%) required recraniotomy. The highest number necessary to predict (NNP) one recraniotomy based on patient deterioration was 50 in the RA group. Conclusion: We do not recommend POCTs in asymptomatic patients after planned clipping. New symptom onset requires radiological evaluation. Simultaneous practice of POCT after ruptured aneurysm treatment within 24 h is recommended. Full article
