Current literature confirms that AR is a reliable and versatile tool when performing minimally invasive approaches in a wide range of neurosurgical diseases, although prospective randomized studies are not yet available and technical improvements are needed.
Treatment of Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysms with Flow-Diverter Stents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
- F. CagnazzoD. MantillaP. LefevreC. DargazanliG. GascouV. Costalat
- 1 December 2017
Medicine
Given the not negligible rate of treatment-related complications, flow diversion for MCA aneurysms should be considered an alternative treatment when traditional treatment methods are not feasible, and high rates of aneurYSm occlusion and protection against re-rupture can be achieved.
A new head-mounted display-based augmented reality system in neurosurgical oncology: a study on phantom

- 1 January 2017
Engineering, Medicine
The AR-neuronavigator is intuitive, easy-to-use, and provides three-dimensional augmented information in a perceptually-correct way and proved to be effective in guiding skin incision, craniotomy, and lesion targeting.
Arterial aneurysms associated with arteriovenous malformations of the brain: classification, incidence, risk of hemorrhage, and treatment—a systematic review
- F. CagnazzoW. BrinjikjiG. Lanzino
- 19 September 2016
Medicine
A systematic review of published series examining the association between aneurysms and bAVMs clarified the prevalence, risk of hemorrhage, and appropriate management of these lesions, and selected endovascular treatment of bAVM-associated aneurYSms appears safe and effective.
Y-Stent-Assisted Coiling of Wide-Neck Bifurcation Intracranial Aneurysms: A Meta-Analysis

Medicine
Y-stent-assisted coiling yields high rates of long-term angiographic occlusion, with a relatively low rate of treatment-related complications, while the Enterprise stent is associated with lower complication rates.
Expanding Indications for Flow Diverters: Distal Aneurysms, Bifurcation Aneurysms, Small Aneurysms, Previously Coiled Aneurysms and Clipped Aneurysms, and Carotid Cavernous Fistulas

- 16 December 2019
Medicine
A review of the relevant literature concerning “off-label” indications for flow diverter devices, such as for distal aneurysms, bifurcation aneurYSms, small aneuryms, recurrent aneurisms, and direct carotid cavernous fistulas, finds that the use of these stents has widely grown up even if not supported by randomized studies.
Acutely Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms Treated with Flow-Diverter Stents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
- F. CagnazzoD. D. CarloM. CappucciP. LefevreV. CostalatP. Perrini
- 26 July 2018
Medicine
Flow-diversion treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms yields a high rate of long-term angiographic occlusion with a relatively low rate ofAneurysm rebleeding, however, treatment is associated with a complication rate of 18%.
Predicting Factors of Angiographic Aneurysm Occlusion after Treatment with the Woven EndoBridge Device: A Single-Center Experience with Midterm Follow-Up
- F. CagnazzoR. Ahmed V. Costalat
- 19 September 2019
Medicine
The likelihood of good occlusion was 5 times lower in the presence of a wide ostium, whereas aneurysms with regular morphology were 6 times more likely to be occluded.
Multiple high-grade gliomas: epidemiology, management, and outcome. A systematic review and meta-analysis
- D. D. Di CarloF. CagnazzoN. BenedettoR. MorgantiP. Perrini
- 1 June 2019
Medicine
A systematic review and meta-analysis of literature examining epidemiology, clinical and radiological characteristics, management, and the overall survival from multiple high-grade gliomas found cytoreduction should be attempted in patients with M-HGGs because it improves overall survival.
Endovascular Treatment of Very Large and Giant Intracranial Aneurysms: Comparison between Reconstructive and Deconstructive Techniques—A Meta-Analysis
- F. CagnazzoD. Mantilla V. Costalat
- 15 March 2018
Medicine
Comparing treatment-related outcomes between reconstructive and deconstructive endovascular treatments of very large/giant intracranial aneurysms found that coiling should be preferred for posterior circulation and ruptured lesions, whereas flow diversion is relatively safe and effective for unruptured anterior circulation aneurYSms.
