Cerebrovascular Session-Patterns of Aneurysm Healing and Neointima Formation after Stent or Coil Treatment in a Rat Aneurysm Model.

Patterns of Aneurysm Healing and Neointima Formation after Stent or Coil Treatment in a Rat Aneurysm Model.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the healing process after endovascular treatments for aneurysms. They compare coiling and clipping techniques and explain that coiling often results in a higher recurrence rate due to the need for thrombus organization and cell recruitment for healing. To investigate the origin of healing cells, they conducted experiments on rats using transgenic rats expressing green fluorescent protein. The results showed that cell migration from the aneurysm wall and the parent artery play a role in aneurysm healing, with stent treatment promoting better healing than coiling alone. The speaker concludes that continuous endothelial lining along the parent artery may contribute to improved healing in stent-assisted coiling.
