Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care01:26

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...

Aneurysm I: Introduction

An aortic aneurysm is a localized outpouching or dilation at a weak point in the artery wall. It may involve different parts of the aorta, such as the abdominal aorta, aortic arch, or thoracic aorta.Etiological factorsSeveral disorders are associated with aortic aneurysms.Congenital causes, such as primary connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome, impact the integrity and strength of connective tissues, notably affecting the aorta. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that specifically...

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Medical Device Design
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Aneurysm clips are crucial for treating brain aneurysms.
  • Traditional clips can cause susceptibility artifacts on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
  • These artifacts hinder postoperative MRI evaluation of the aneurysm neck.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and fabricate an aneurysm clip utilizing ceramic jaws and a titanium spring.
  • To minimize susceptibility artifact at the aneurysm neck for improved MRI assessment.
  • To facilitate intra- and/or postoperative MRI evaluation.

Main Methods:

  • Developed aneurysm clips with ceramic jaws (silicon nitride, yttria-stabilized zirconia) and a titanium spring.
  • Created a novel clip applicator with an improved interface for better ergonomics and visibility.
  • Imaged ceramic clips in phantom and cadaveric models at 1.5 T and 3.0 T, comparing them to standard MR-compatible clips.

Main Results:

  • Ceramic jaws demonstrated reduced susceptibility artifact compared to MR-compatible Yaşargil clips.
  • Consistent closing pressure was maintained over 50 cycles; no jaw crossing occurred.
  • The new applicator design enhanced visibility and reduced torque during removal.

Conclusions:

  • Ceramic material effectively limited MRI susceptibility artifact and image distortion around the jaws.
  • While the titanium spring caused some artifact, its placement minimized distortion in the critical clipped area.
  • This novel clip design allows for clearer postoperative MRI assessment of treated aneurysms.
