Thrombectomy and stenting of pseudoaneurysm from transcarotid artery revascularization
CONCLUSION: The TCAR procedure offers a novel method for revascularization of carotid lesions; it does include its complications. While generally safe, access site complications such as pseudoaneurysms can always occur. Knowledge of this risk allows for appropriate surveillance and management should it occur.PMID:38742006 | PMC:PMC11090603 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_71_2024 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Estimation of the rupture point of the craniovertebral junction intradural arteriovenous fistula with vessel wall magnetic resonance image and its pathological findings: A case report
CONCLUSION: Recently, VW-MRI has been reported to show an association between the enhancement of varices in dural AVF and rupture cases. VW-MRI, especially the enhanced MSDE method, may be useful in estimating the ruptured point in arteriovenous shunt disease.PMID:38742004 | PMC:PMC11090560 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_163_2024 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Extracranial internal carotid artery-dissecting aneurysm having a re-entry tear and causing lower cranial nerve palsies treated with flow-diverting stent: A case report
CONCLUSION: Herein, an extracranial ICA -DA with a re-entry tear that caused lower cranial nerve palsy did not improve after five weeks of conservative treatment. FDS placement promptly resolved the aneurysm and symptoms. Thus, FDS placement may be an effective treatment option for extracranial ICA-DAs with re-entry tears or lower cranial nerve palsies.PMID:38741991 | PMC:PMC11090541 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_57_2024 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Triplicated middle cerebral arteries (duplicated and ipsilateral accessory) associated with triplicated anterior cerebral arteries (accessory) diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography
ConclusionWe herein report a case of triplicated MCA associated with triplicated ACA. MCA variations are relatively rare, and this is the third case of triplicated MCA reported in relevant English-language literature. To identify multiple cerebral arterial variations, creating partial VR images using MR angiographic source images is useful. (Source: Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy)

Optical coherence tomography angiography suggests different retinal pathologies in multiple sclerosis and Sj ögren’s syndrome
ConclusionsCompared to patients with RRMS, rarefication of deep retinal vessels is a unique characteristic of pSS and associated with worse visual function. Assuming a disease-specific retinal vessel pathology, these data are indicative of a differential affliction of the gliovascular complex in the retina of RRMS and pSS patients.

Automatic 3D coronary artery segmentation based on local region active contour model
CONCLUSIONS: The method does not require manual selection of vessel seeds or setting of initial contours, and allows for the extraction of a successful coronary artery skeleton and eventual effective segmentation of the coronary arteries.PMID:38738249 | PMC:PMC11087640 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-24-421 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Predicting Nipple Necrosis with a "Lights-on" Indocyanine Green Imaging System: A Report of Two Patients
Arch Plast Surg. 2024 Apr 4;51(3):337-341. doi: 10.1055/s-0043-1777068. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTNipple-areolar complex (NAC) necrosis is a devastating complication in nipple-sparing mastectomies (NSMs) that significantly impacts patient's quality of life. The use of fluorescence angiography for intraoperative assessment of mastectomy skin flap perfusion in NSM has been successfully described and can be utilized to help guide surgical decision-making. Recently, a novel fluorescence-guided surgical imager was developed, OnLume Avata System (OnLume Surgical, Madison, WI), which provides intraoperative evaluation of vascu...

Digital Gangrene as a Paraneoplastic Manifestation of Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma Not Otherwise Specified Type
CONCLUSION: Though digital ischemia is a rare paraneoplastic presentation of lymphoma, it should be considered if there is a rapid progression of gangrene. Early initiation of chemotherapy may result in the reduction of further progression of digital gangrene and thus prevent permanent disability. In our patient, progression of gangrene was prevented even though it was an aggressive variant of T cell lymphoma.PMID:38736082 | DOI:10.59556/japi.71.0370 (Source: Journal of the Association of Physicians of India)

CatLet score and clinical CatLet score as predictors of long-term outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction presenting later than 12 hours from symptom onset
CONCLUSIONS: CCS was better than CS to be able to risk-stratify long-term outcomes in AMI patients presenting >12 h after symptom onset. These findings have indicated that both anatomic and clinical variables should be considered in decision-making on management of patients with AMI presenting later.PMID:38738420 | PMC:PMC11095273 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2024.2349190 (Source: Annals of Medicine)
