Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant global health concern with substantial contributions to illness and mortality rates. This study aims to scrutinize the intricate interplay between neurological and circulatory abnormalities post-TBI, particularly focusing on the challenge posed by cardiac arrest in TBI patients. The study employs a comprehensive approach, utilizing clinical assessments, electrocardiograms, intracranial pressure monitoring, brain imaging, and biomarker utilization. It explores the effectiveness of these methods in detecting cardiac arrest in TBI patients. Additionally, the research delves into resuscitation techniques, hemodynamic stabilization, intracranial pressure management, and neurological enhancement as potential therapeutic modalities. The results highlight the importance of prompt initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and adherence to advanced cardiac life support protocols in TBI patients with cardiac arrest. Prognostic factors such as injury severity, response time, effectiveness of resuscitation interventions, and pre-existing medical conditions are identified as crucial elements in predicting cardiac arrest outcomes in TBI patients. The study concludes by emphasizing the critical necessity of a comprehensive approach to understand and manage the complex relationship between cardiac arrest and TBI. Incorporating scientific discoveries, clinical perspectives, and technological advancements, the review underscores the importance of addressing this multifaceted medical challenge through a thorough analysis and effective management strategies.

The Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery-Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (AICA-PICA) common trunk is a rare variant of cerebral posterior circulation in which a single vessel originating from either the basilar or vertebral arteries supplies both cerebellum and brainstem territories. We present the first case of an unruptured right AICA-PICA aneurysm treated with flow diversion using a Shield-enhanced pipeline endovascular device (PED, VANTAGE Embolization Device with Shield Technology, Medtronic, Canada). We expand on this anatomic variant and review the relevant literature.A 39-year-old man presented to our treatment center with vertigo and right hypoacusis. The initial head CT/CTA was negative, but a 4-month follow-up MRI revealed a 9 mm fusiform dissecting aneurysm of the right AICA. The patient underwent a repeat head CTA and cerebral angiogram, which demonstrated the presence of an aneurysm on the proximal portion of an AICA-PICA anatomical variant. This was treated with an endovascular approach that included flow diversion via a PED equipped with Shield Technology. The patient’s post-procedure period was uneventful, and he was discharged home after two days with an intact neurological status. The patient is still asymptomatic after a 7-month follow-up, with MR angiogram evidence of stable aneurysm obliteration and no ischemic lesions.Aneurysms of the AICA-PICA common trunk variants have a high morbidity risk due to the importance and extent of the territory vascularized by a single vessel. Endovascular treatment with flow diversion proved to be both safe and effective in obliterating unruptured cases.
