Listen up, folks, we’ve got something huge to talk about here!
So, we’re dealing with these Posterior cerebral artery (PCA) aneurysms, right? They’re not common, but let me tell you, they’re tricky. Now, the big brains like to go with endovascular therapy – that’s the top choice, believe me. But sometimes, you’ve got to roll up your sleeves and get in there with microsurgery. And we’ve got this trans-lateral ventricular approach (TVA) – it’s a game-changer for the tough ones at the P2-P3 junction.
What we did here is look at how feasible and safe this TVA really is. We’re talking about serious business – high-located, complex aneurysms. We checked out the outcomes, the anatomy – the whole nine yards. In 2019, we took on two of these bad boys with TVA. We planned it all out, used the latest tech like navigation and ultrasound. It was like a high-tech treasure hunt, and we found the gold!
And guess what? Both cases were a success. One patient was out in 6 days – incredible. The other needed more TLC in the ICU, but hey, they’re on the road to recovery. The first patient? Back to work in 3 months, no problems at all. And the anatomy studies? They back us up. TVA is the real deal for these high-flyer aneurysms.
So, while we’re all about that endovascular action, this study shows that TVA is a solid option for those special cases. It’s all about picking the right patient and knowing your stuff. We’re making aneurysm treatment great, folks!
