Understanding Cirsoid Aneurysms Cirsoid aneurysms are rare arteriovenous malformations of the scalp, involving abnormal connections between the external carotid artery and scalp veins. They present as pulsatile masses and can cause pain, headaches, or bleeding. Prompt treatment is crucial, often involving endovascular procedures or surgical resection to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications. These aneurysms highlight the complexity of our vascular system and the importance of advanced diagnostic and treatment methods. #VascularHealth #CirsoidAneurysms #MedicalInnovation #Healthcare

📢 Pleural Dynamics, Inc. secures FDA clearance for ACES effusion shunt system The ACES system is intended to provide continuous symptom alleviation and doesn’t require costly drainage canisters, longer hospital stay, or a catheter external to the chest. The Minnesota-based Pleural Dynamics, Inc. is said to be the first and only company to provide a fully implantable automatic effusion shunt that is driven by normal breathing. Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and Clinics pulmonary and critical care medicine chief David Feller-Kopman said: “ACES focuses on patient-centered outcomes, potentially eliminating the need for a long hospital stay and chronic drainage at home. This is a potentially perfect solution.” Pleurodesis, which is the current standard of care, is frequently painful and necessitates an extended hospital stay, said Pleural Dynamics, Inc. The one-piece, completely implanted ACES system from the company can be implanted during a brief hospital stay and is said to address these shortcomings. Pleural Dynamics, Inc. technology utilises natural breathing movements to automatically transfer pleural effusion fluid from the chest to the abdomen, where it can be reabsorbed by the body. This eliminates the necessity for an external catheter and the frequent need for drainage, thereby ensuring continuous symptom relief.
