2018 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting-589. Aneurysms in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease; High Rates of De Novo Formation and Screening Failures

589. Aneurysms in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease; High Rates of De Novo Formation and Screening Failures

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Andrew Wilkinson discusses the prevalence of cerebral aneurysms in patients with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). He highlights the discrepancy in screening recommendations between neurosurgeons and nephrologists for this population. Dr. Wilkinson presents the results of a retrospective study on patients with both ADPKD and aneurysms, examining outcomes of those treated with open surgery, endovascular treatment, or observation. He discusses the rates of de novo aneurysm formation and concludes that elective treatment can be safely performed with either technique. The video ends with a Q&A session. (No credits mentioned)
