Abstract

COVID-19 patients are increasingly understood to develop multisystem manifestations, including neurologic involvement. We report the case of a 42-year old COVID-19 positive patient with a fatal intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The patient presented with fever and dyspnea, requiring intubation due to medical complications. After prolonged sedation and anticoagulation, the patient suddenly developed bilaterally fixed and dilated pupils, caused by a right-sided intracranial hemorrhage with uncal herniation. The course of this case illustrates the delicate balance between hypercoagulability and coagulation factor depletion; especially in the intubated and sedated patient, in whom regular neurological assessments are impeded. As we expand our understanding of the neurological ramifications of COVID-19, clinicians need to be increasingly aware of the precarious coagulation balance.

Abstract

Devices and techniques for the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms have rapidly progressed since their clinical debut nearly three decades ago. However, mastery of basic embolization techniques remains the cornerstone of successful endovascular therapy. Commonly employed techniques include direct, balloon-assisted, and stent-assisted coil embolization. The neuroendovascular field continues to innovate and coil embolization may not remain at the forefront of endovascular aneurysm treatment in the future. The introduction of innovative and promising new devices that do not utilize a coil platform may diminish the future importance of coil embolization techniques leading to a new age in aneurysm embolization where the coil is no longer the dominant device. In this chapter, we will discuss the basics of coil embolization focusing on standard direct, balloon-assisted, and stent-assisted techniques as they remain the workhorse options for aneurysm embolization.
