Cytokine Expression after Endovascular Embolization of Experimental Aneurysms

摘要

The high-throughput method displayed sufficient sensitivity to detect systemic changes in cytokine expression. Aneurysm embolization initiated changes in systemic cytokine expression, most likely resulting from the organizing thrombus. Increases in cytokine expression in serum were observed at three and four weeks in the Pt group, while minimal changes were seen in the HC group. Further studies on the development of meningitis and hydrocephalus after the embolization of unruptured, giant aneurysms may reveal the influence of cytokine expression, similar to the effects of cytokines after SAH.
