dc.description.abstractIntracranial aneurysms are pathological dilations of arteries in the brain. Rupture of an aneurysm would be catastrophic, resulting in death in half of the cases and permanent neu- rological deficits in half of the survivors. The current standard-of-care for treating aneurysms is endovascular coiling, a procedure that involves packing the aneurysm with soft platinum- made coils that cause the blood within the aneurysm to clot, consequently slowing the flow of blood into the aneurysm. This is followed by a healing response that remodels the clot into fibrous tissue and regenerates a neointima layer that covers the neck of the aneurysm and isolates it from the parent vessel. Lack of proper healing in about one-fifth of the patients results in recurrence of the aneurysm. Building on a growing body of literature, this project evaluated the potential therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) on the healing of coiled aneurysms in a rabbit model.en_US
