Abstract
BACKGROUND Aneurysm recurrence after coiling has been associated with aneurysm growth, (re)hemorrhage, and a greater need for follow-up. The second-generation HydroCoil Embolic System (HES; MicroVention, Inc) consists of a platinum core with integrated hydrogel and was developed to reduce recurrence through enhancing packing density and healing within the aneurysm. OBJECTIVE To compare recurrence between the second-generation HES and bare platinum coil (BPC) in the new-generation Hydrogel Endovascular Aneurysm Treatment Trial (HEAT). METHODS HEAT is a randomized, controlled trial that enrolled subjects with ruptured or unruptured 3- to 14-mm intracranial aneurysms amenable to coiling. The primary endpoint was aneurysm recurrence using the Raymond-Roy scale. Secondary endpoints included minor and major recurrence, packing density, adverse events related to the procedure and/or device, mortality, initial complete occlusion, aneurysm retreatment, hemorrhage from target aneurysm during follow-up, aneurysm occlusion stability, and clinical outcome at final follow-up. RESULTS A total of 600 patients were randomized (HES, n = 297 and BPC, n = 303), including 28% with ruptured aneurysms. Recurrence occurred in 11 (4.4%) subjects in the HES arm and 44 (15.4%) subjects in the BPC arm (P = .002). While the initial occlusion rate was higher with BPC, the packing density and both major and minor recurrence rates were in favor of HES. Secondary endpoints including adverse events, retreatment, hemorrhage, mortality, and clinical outcome did not differ between arms. CONCLUSION Coiling of small-to-medium aneurysms with second-generation HES resulted in less recurrence when compared to BPC, without increased harm. These data further support the use of the second-generation HES for the embolization of intracranial aneurysms. VIDEO ABSTRACT

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential for simulation-based learning in neurosurgical training has led the Congress of Neurosurgical Surgeons to develop a series of simulation modules. The Northwestern Objective Microanastomosis Assessment Tool (NOMAT) was created as the corresponding assessment tool for the Congress of Neurosurgical Surgeons Microanastomosis Module. The face and construct validity of the NOMAT have been previously established. OBJECTIVE To further validate the NOMAT by determining its interrater reliability (IRR) between raters of varying levels of microsurgical expertise. METHODS The NOMAT was used to assess residents' performance in a microanastomosis simulation module in 2 settings: Northwestern University and the Society of Neurological Surgeons 2014 Boot Camp at the University of Indiana. At Northwestern University, participants were scored by 2 experienced microsurgeons. At the University of Indiana, participants were scored by 2 postdoctoral fellows and an experienced microsurgeon. The IRR of NOMAT was estimated by computing the intraclass correlation coefficient using SPSS v22.0 (IBM, Armonk, New York). RESULTS A total of 75 residents were assessed. At Northwestern University, 21 residents each performed microanastomosis on 2 model vessels of different sizes, one 3 mm and one 1 mm. At the University of Indiana, 54 residents performed a single microanastomosis procedure on 3-mm vessels. The intraclass correlation coefficient of the total NOMAT scores was 0.88 at Northwestern University and 0.78 at the University of Indiana. CONCLUSION This study indicates high IRR for the NOMAT. These results suggest that the use of raters with varying levels of expertise does not compromise the precision or validity of the scale. This allows for a wider adoption of the scale and, hence, a greater potential educational impact.

Abstract
Malignant large artery stroke is associated with high mortality of 70% to 80% with best medical management. Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a highly effective tool in reducing mortality. Convincing evidence has accumulated from several randomized trials, in addition to multiple retrospective studies, that demonstrate not only survival benefit but also improved functional outcome with DC in appropriately selected patients. This article explores in detail the evidence for DC, nuances regarding patient selection, and applicability of DC for supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage and posterior fossa ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess indications, complications, clinical outcomes, and technical nuances of microsurgical treatment of previously coiled intracranial aneurysms. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from January 1990 to December 2013. English-language articles reporting on microsurgical treatment of previously coiled intracranial aneurysms were included. Articles that involved embolization materials other than coils were excluded. Data on aneurysm characteristics, indications for surgery, techniques, complications, angiographic obliteration rates, and clinical outcomes were collected. RESULTS The literature review identified 29 articles reporting on microsurgical clipping of 375 previously coiled aneurysms. Of the aneurysms, 68% were small (<10 mm). Indications for clipping included the presence of a neck remnant (48%) and new aneurysmal growth (45%). Rebleeding before clipping was reported in 6% of cases. Coil extraction was performed in 13% of cases. The median time from initial coiling to clipping was 7 months. The angiographic cure rate was 93%, with morbidity and mortality of 9.8% and 3.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Microsurgical clipping of previously coiled aneurysms can result in high obliteration rates with relatively low morbidity and mortality in select cases. Considerations for microsurgical strategies include the presence of sufficient aneurysmal tissue for clip placement and the potential need for temporary occlusion or flow arrest. Coil extraction is not needed in most cases.
