Use of the Pipeline embolization device in the treatment of iatrogenic intracranial vascular injuries: A bi-institutional experience
Julius Griauzde,Vijay M. Ravindra,Neeraj Chaudhary,Joseph J. Gemmete,Marcus D. Mazur,Christopher Roark,William T. Couldwell,Min S. Park,Philipp Taussky,Aditya S. Pandey +9 more
TL;DR: The use of the PED is feasible in the management of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms of the intracranial vasculature and in cases of frank vessel perforation, an alternative strategy such as covered stent placement should be considered.
Influence of smoking on aneurysm recurrence after endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular aneurysms.
John Futchko,Jordan B. Starr,Darryl Lau,Matthew R. Leach,Christopher Roark,Aditya S. Pandey,B. Gregory Thompson +6 more
TL;DR: A positive smoking history is associated with a significantly increased risk of aneurysm recurrence in patients who have undergone endovascular repair of a cerebral aneurYSm, compared with the risk in patientsWho have never smoked.
Clinical Factors Associated With ICU-Specific Care Following Supratentoral Brain Tumor Resection and Validation of a Risk Prediction Score.
Lynze R. Franko,Todd C. Hollon,Joseph R Linzey,Christopher Roark,Venkatakrishna Rajajee,Kyle M. Sheehan,Magnus K. Teig,Shawn L. Hervey-Jumper,Jason Heth,Daniel A. Orringer,Craig A. Williamson +10 more
TL;DR: A simple clinical scoring system that included Karnofsky Performance Status less than 70, general endotracheal anesthesia, and any early postoperative complications demonstrated excellent ability to discriminate patients who required ICU-specific care in both the derivation and validation cohorts.

Ruptured Distal Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (PICA) Aneurysms Associated with Cerebellar Arterial Venous Malformations (AVMs): A Case Series and Review of the Literature Demonstrating the Need for Angiographic Evaluation and Feasibility of Endovascular Treatment.
David Case,David A. Kumpe,Luis Cava,Robert Neumann,Andrew M. White,Christopher Roark,Joshua Seinfeld +6 more
TL;DR: A case series shows a specific anatomical pattern for these aneurysms, an underreported need for conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) during evaluation, along with the utility of endovascular treatment with liquid embolic agents, and a feasible and useful management strategy.

ABC/2 Method Does not Accurately Predict Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation Volume.
Christopher Roark,Venu Vadlamudi,Neeraj Chaudhary,Joseph J. Gemmete,Joshua Seinfeld,B. Gregory Thompson,Aditya S. Pandey +6 more
TL;DR: The ABC/2 method overestimates cerebral AVM volume when compared to volumetric analysis from SRS planning software, and for AVMs > 7 cm3, the overestimation is even greater.
