Ophthalmic artery stenosis on three-dimensional rotational angiography: Interrater agreement, prevalence, and risk factors
CONCLUSION: The evaluation of OA stenosis on 3DRA had excellent interrater agreement. OA stenosis was common and was associated with smoking and female sex.PMID:38387875 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241233020 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)

Invasiveness of previous treatment for peripheral arterial disease and risk of adverse cardiac events after coronary stenting
This study assessed the impact of the invasiveness of previous PADs treatment (invasive or non-invasive) on event risks after PCI with contemporary drug-eluting stents. This post-hoc analysis pooled 3-year patient-level data of PCI all-comer patients living in the eastern Netherlands, previously treated for PADs. PADs included symptomatic atherosclerotic lesion in the lower or upper extremities; carotid or vertebral arteries; mesenteric arteries or aorta. Invasive PADs treatment comprised endarterectomy, bypass surgery, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, stenting or amputation; non-invasive treatment consisted of medic...

Optical coherence tomography findings of balloon angioplasty/stenting for in-stent restenosis after carotid artery stenting
CONCLUSIONS: OCT can detect the in-stent architecture of ISR lesions after balloon angioplasty and additional stent placement. However, which dissection should be treated by additional stent remain problematic.PMID:38347719 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241232465 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)

Drug-Coated Balloons for Treatment of Internal Carotid Artery Restenosis After Stenting: A Single-Center Mid-Term Outcome Study
ConclusionDCB angioplasty for ISR is an effective treatment that may delay and decrease restenosis. Treating comorbidities and adopting lifestyle changes may additionally help prevent ISR.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

A technical guide to robotic-assisted carotid angioplasty and stenting with the Corindus CorPath GRX system
Interv Neuroradiol. 2024 Jan 17:15910199241226856. doi: 10.1177/15910199241226856. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRobotic-assisted carotid artery angioplasty and stenting is becoming more popular due to its precision and radiation safety. In this video, we present a case using the CorPath GRX Robotic System (Corindus, a Seimens Healthineers Company, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) with step-by-step procedure process and technical nuances (video 1). We demonstrate that cervical carotid angioplasty and stenting can be safely performed using the robotic system with efficiency and accuracy.PMID:38234152 | DOI:10.1177/1591019924122...

A propensity score-matched comparative study of balloon guide catheters versus conventional guide catheters for concurrent mechanical thrombectomy with carotid stenting in tandem strokes: comparison of first pass effect, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and 90-day functional outcomes
Conclusion
BGCs used for concurrent MT–carotid revascularization with flow arrest were safe and resulted in superior clinical and angiographic outcomes in patients with a tandem stroke. (Source: Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery)

Prevention of in-stent restenosis with drug-eluting balloons in patients with postirradiated carotid stenosis accepting percutaneous angioplasty and stenting
Conclusions
We observed similar technical safety of carotid PTAS with and without DEBs. The number of cases of significant ISR were fewer and the degree of stenosis of ISR was less in primary DEB-PTAS of PIRCS than for conventional PTAS in the 12-month follow-up.

Giant-cell arteritis related strokes: scoping review of mechanisms and rethinking treatment strategy?
Stroke is a rare and severe complication of giant cell arteritis (GCA). Although early diagnosis and treatment initiation are essential, the mechanism of stroke is often related to vasculitis complicated by arterial stenosis and occlusion. Its recurrence is often attributed to early steroid resistance or late GCA relapse, so immunosuppressive treatment is often reinforced. However, many questions concerning the mechanisms of stroke remain elusive, and no review to date has examined the whole data set concerning GCA-related stroke. We therefore undertook this scoping review. GCA-related stroke does not necessarily display g...
