This systematic review and meta-analysis found the incidence of new postprocedural DWI-detected ischemic lesions after endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms to be 47.0% (95% CI, 39.6%–55.8%), regardless of the endovascular procedure used. Studies have shown that almost half of these lesions are asymptomatic, and if small (<5 mm), these lesions have been shown to regress without negative effect on clinical outcome.

Multi-institutional retrospective evaluation of patients with CSF-to-venous fistulas treated with CT-guided fibrin glue treatment showed that treatment success may be in part driven by whether the spread of fibrin injectate matches the target drainage pathway of the CVF.
