Most patients have additional systemic medical comorbidities making endovascular treatment a vital modality in the treatment of these aneurysms. We aimed to share our institutional experience with the role of endovascular therapy in the treatment of mycotic aneurysms with a literature review. We conducted a retrospective review of our patient database to identify individuals diagnosed with MIAs who underwent endovascular intervention at our institution between January 2002 and December 2021. We have found three patients with ruptured MIAs. All three patients had a heart disease with infective endocarditis. Two patients presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in which, one had a rebleed resulting in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the third patient initially presented with ICH. Distal anterior cerebral artery (ACA) was the site of MIA in two cases and distal middle cerebral artery (MCA) in one patient. Two patients were treated with simple coiling and one patient was treated by glue (n-butyl cyanoacrylate [NBCAs]) injection within the aneurysm. There was no periprocedural complication with complete obliteration of the aneurysm and preservation of the parent artery. All the patients had good outcomes on follow-up. Two patients had a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 0 at 6 months and one patient had an mRS score of 3 at the end of 3 months whose preprocedure mRS score was 5. Endovascular embolization of MIAs with coils or liquid embolic agents can be performed in critically ill patients and is an excellent treatment modality with high occlusion rates and low procedural complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0044-1791268","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,30]],"date-time":"2024-09-30T23:02:26Z","timestamp":1727737346000},"page":"618-625","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Endovascular Treatment of Mycotic Intracranial Aneurysms: A Series of Three Cases with Institutional Treatment Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-8711-2023","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bheru Dan","family":"Charan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, India"},{"name":"Department of Neuroimaging & Interventional Neuroradiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shailesh B.","family":"Gaikwad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroimaging & Interventional Neuroradiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sushant","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, Guwahati, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Savyasachi","family":"Jain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroimaging & Interventional Neuroradiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"05","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"633","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1980.53.5.0633","article-title":"Bacterial intracranial aneurysms","volume":"53","author":"J G Frazee","year":"1980","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"120","DOI":"10.1007\/s12028-009-9208-x","article-title":"Intracranial microbial aneurysm (infectious aneurysm): current options for diagnosis and management","volume":"11","author":"S Kannoth","year":"2009","journal-title":"Neurocrit Care"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref3","first-page":"258","article-title":"Natural history and management of mycotic intracranial aneurysm","volume":"32","author":"P Koch","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"415","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(02)00827-9","article-title":"Malignant endocarditis.
