    Abstract Introduction: Endothelial cells (ECs) continuously line the cerebrovasculature. Molecular aberrations in the ECs are hallmarks and contributory factors to the development of cerebrovascular diseases, including intracranial aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Endovascular biopsy has been introduced as a method to harvest ECs and obtain relevant biologic information. We aimed to summarize the literature on endovascular biopsy in neurointerventional surgery.
    Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search in multiple databases, identifying eligible studies focusing on neurosurgical applications of endovascular biopsy. The systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The relevant information was collected, including study characteristics, biopsy techniques, and key findings.
    Results: Nine studies met the inclusion criteria and were included. The studies involved the collection of ECs using various endovascular devices including coils, guide wires, different stents, and forceps. Endothelial-enrichment techniques, such fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), collected ECs and facilitated downstream applications of bulk or single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq). The studies provided insights into gene expression profiles and identified potential biomarkers associated with intracranial aneurysms. However, challenges were observed in obtaining an adequate number of ECs and identifying consistent biomarkers.
    Conclusion: Endovascular biopsy of endothelial cells (ECs) in cerebrovascular pathologies shows promise for gene expression profiling. However, many studies have been limited in sample size and underpowered to identify "signature genes" for aneurysm growth or rupture. Advancements in minimally invasive biopsy methods have potential to facilitate applications of precision medicine in the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders.

    Abstract Over the last 2 decades, the field of transcriptomics has emerged as a major subdiscipline in biology. Transcriptomic techniques have been used by many groups over this time to better understand intracranial aneurysm development, rupture, and treatment. However, only a few studies have applied transcriptomics to understand the mechanisms behind flow diversion (FD) specifically, despite its increasing importance in the neurointerventional armamentarium. FD is an increasingly safe and effective treatment option for intracranial aneurysms. However, the clinical understanding and use of FD has far outpaced the understanding of the underlying mechanisms. To make FD more predictable, clinically efficacious, and safe, it is important to understand the biological mechanisms at play that lead to successful and unsuccessful FD. In this review, the authors focus on the current understanding of FD biology, the recent advances in transcriptomics, and what future studies could be performed to deepen the understanding of FD. They propose the new concept of the FD microenvironment to be studied, which may unlock a deeper biological understanding. This review provides the background for prospective studies into the development of targeted aneurysm therapy, whether by modified devices or by medical adjuncts.

    Abstract Background: The insertion of an external ventricular drainage (EVD) is one of the most frequently used neurosurgical procedures. It is performed to adjust intracranial hypertension in cases of severe craniocerebral injury, acute posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, meningitis, and oncological diseases related to impaired circulation of cerebrospinal fluid circulation (CSF).
    Methods: In 2020, three patients with subarachnoid aneurysmal hemorrhage underwent insertion of an EVD navigation percutaneous stereotaxic device. Three cases introduced.
    Results: In all cases, satisfactory EVD functioning was noted during the surgery and during the early postoperative period. The EVD insertion procedure took an average of 10 min. The EVD insertion route calculations using the software took about 5-15 min. No cases showed any infection, hemorrhagic complications, or EVD dysfunction. According to the control brain computed tomography data, the catheter position was satisfactory and corresponded to the target coordinates in all cases.
    Conclusion: The use of the device, with its high accuracy and efficiency, can reduce the incidence of unsatisfactory EVD implantation cases in patients with neurosurgical pathology.

    Abstract Unruptured brain AVMs (bAVMs) remain a controversial subject for practicing neurosurgeons, especially in the light of ARUBA and other observational studies. This retrospective study aims to analyze our experience with unruptured bAVMs to see whether it is beneficial in the long-term and how it corresponds to large literature trials. The study comprised 160 adult patients with unruptured bAVMs surgically treated in Burdenko NMC (Moscow) in 2009-2017. Mean age: 33.4 ± 10лет. Clinical presentations were: seizures in 99 (61.9%), chronical headaches-49 (30.6%), ischemic symptoms-4 (2.5%), asymptomatic in 8 (5%) patients. Spetzler-Martin scale: I-18 pt. (11.3%), II-71 pt. (44.4%), III-60 pt. (37.5%), IV-11 pt. (6.8%). Good outcomes (mRS = 0-2) at discharge were achieved in 149 (93.1%), satisfactory (mRS-3)-9 (5.6%). Follow-up was complete for 97 (60.6%) patients, mean-59.3 (13-108 month). Excellent outcomes (mRS = 0-1) reached in 94.8%. For epilepsy patients, Engel I outcome was found in 50 (84.8%); for chronic headaches, 43 (66.1%) patients reported improvement. Postoperative visual field defects were followed in 22 of 55 (40%), complete recovery was reported in 6 (27%) and partial recovery in 8 (36%) patients. Overall, our results support the conclusion that surgery for low-grade bAVMs (S-M I-II) is a beneficial, low-risk option.

    Abstract Introduction: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is associated with high recurrence rates. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as a promising treatment option. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of MMAE for CSDH using liquid embolic agents and compare them with particles.
    Methods: We systematically reviewed all studies describing MMAE for CSDH with liquid embolic agents, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Additionally, we included a cohort of patients from our institution using liquid and particle embolic agents. Data were analyzed using random-effects proportions and comparisons meta-analysis, and statistical heterogeneity was assessed.
    Results: A total of 18 studies with 507 cases of MMAE with liquid embolic agents (including our institutional experience) were included in the analysis. The success rate was 99% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 98-⁠100%), all complications rate was 1% (95% CI: 0-⁠5%), major complications rate was 0% (95% CI: 0-⁠0%), and mortality rate was 1% (95% CI: 0-⁠6%). The rate of hematoma size reduction was 97% (95% CI: 73-⁠100%), complete resolution 64% (95% CI: 33-⁠87%), radiographic recurrence 3% (95% CI: 1-⁠7%), and reoperation 3% (95% CI: 1-⁠7%). No significant differences in outcomes were found between liquid and particle embolic agents. Sensitivity analyses revealed that liquid embolic agents were associated with lower reoperation rates in upfront MMAE (risk ratio 0.13, 95% CI: 0.02-⁠0.95).
    Conclusion: MMAE with liquid embolic agents is safe and effective for the treatment of CSDH. Outcomes are comparable to particles, but liquids were associated with a decreased risk of reoperation in upfront MMAE. However, further studies are needed to support our findings.

    Abstract Background: Surgeries for deep and eloquent cerebral lesions require a detailed knowledge of normal brain anatomy and accurate planning. Important parts of brain anatomy are the cerebral blood supply and collateral circulation system. In addition to well-known cortical and basal (circle of Willis) anastomoses, there is also a deep interarterial anastomotic circle that is not described in the literature.
    Methods: Twenty brain specimens were studied for deep arterial anastomotic connections between branches of the anterior and posterior choroidal arteries.
    Results: We have marked 3 symmetric zones of deep arterial anastomoses that form an epithalamic circle.
    Conclusions: Epithalamic anastomoses provide an additional mechanism of blood distribution that may play a role during surgical interventions or stroke.

    Abstract Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) often requires surgical evacuation, but recurrence rates remain high. Middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization (MMAE) has been proposed as an alternative or adjunct treatment. There is concern that prior surgery might limit patency, access, penetration, and efficacy of MMAE, such that some recent trials excluded patients with prior craniotomy. However, the impact of prior open surgery on MMA patency has not been studied.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent MMAE for cSDH (2019-2022), after prior surgical evacuation or not. MMA patency was assessed using a six-point grading scale.
    Results: Of the 109 MMAEs (84 patients, median age 72 years, 20.2% females), 58.7% were upfront MMAEs, while 41.3% were after prior surgery (20 craniotomies, 25 burr holes). Median hematoma thickness was 14 mm and midline shift 3 mm. Hematoma thickness reduction, surgical rescue, and functional outcome did not differ between MMAE subgroups and were not affected by MMA patency or total area of craniotomy or burr-holes. MMA patency was reduced in the craniotomy group only, specifically in the distal portion of the anterior division (p = 0.005), and correlated with craniotomy area (p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: MMA remains relatively patent after burr-hole evacuation of cSDH, while craniotomy typically only affects the frontal-distal division. However, MMA patency, evacuation method, and total area do not affect outcomes. These findings support the use of MMAE regardless of prior surgery and may influence future trial inclusion/exclusion criteria. Further studies are needed to optimize the timing and techniques for MMAE in cSDH management.
