General anesthesia vs procedural sedation for failed NeuroThrombectomy undergoing rescue stenting: intention to treat analysis
Conclusions
Non-GA seems to be a safe and effective anesthesia strategy for patients undergoing rescue ICAS after failed MT. Larger prospective studies are warranted for more concrete evidence. (Source: Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery)

Ultrasound-Guided Periadventitial Administration of Rapamycin-Fibrin Glue Attenuates Neointimal Hyperplasia in the Rat Carotid Artery Injury Model
CONCLUSION: Periadventitial delivery of RPM-FG contributed to inhibiting IH in the rat carotid artery injury model without compromising re-endothelialization. Additionally, FG provided a promising platform for the future development of a safe, effective, and minimally invasive perivascular drug delivery method to treat vascular disease.PMID:37852309 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejps.2023.106610 (Source: European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences)

Transradial intra-aortic catheter looping in the angioplasty of severe intracranial symptomatic arteriosclerotic diseases
ConclusionIntra-aortic guiding catheter looping via transradial access for endovascular angioplasty of SISOLAs is technically safe, feasible, and effective, especially when the transfemoral artery approach is difficult or impossible to undertake. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Application of SF-36 Health Status Survey in Patients with Arterial Hypertension
CONCLUSIONS: AH, especially with hemodynamically significant atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries are the predictors for QOL worsening in cardiological patients, mostly in men. Using of the international questionnaire "SF-36 Health Status Survey" is advisable to assess the QOL in patients with cardiovascular diseases. In this sense, the interaction of a cardiologist and a psychotherapist is appropriate and justified for the most optimal management of a patient with this pathology.PMID:37800248 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Purtscher-like retinopathy following carotid angioplasty and stenting in the treatment of severe carotid stenosis
We present a case of Purtscher-like retinopathy (PLR) following carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). A 56-year-old man with a history of severe stenosis of the left carotid artery and treated by CAS refers acute and painless visual loss on the left eye (OS) 48 h after the procedure. Funduscopic examination showed cotton wool spots and intraretinal hemorrhages confined to the peripapillary and posterior pole of the OS. The optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed retinal thickening and hyperintense lesions in the inner nuclear layer retina.PMID:37792548 | DOI:10.1177/11206721231204632 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Myeloid-derived growth factor suppresses VSMC dedifferentiation and attenuates postinjury neointimal formation in rats by activating S1PR2 and its downstream signaling
In this study we investigated the effect of MYDGF to postinjury neointimal formation and the underlying mechanisms. Rat carotid arteries balloon-injured model was established. We found that plasma MYDGF content and the level of MYDGF in injured arteries were significantly decreased after balloon injury. Local application of exogenous MYDGF (50 μg/mL) around the injured vessel during balloon injury markedly ameliorated the development of neointimal formation evidenced by relieving the narrow endovascular diameter, improving hemodynamics, and reducing collagen deposition. In addition, local application of MYDGF inhibited VS...

Stent retrieval for free-floating thrombus attached to carotid artery stenosis: A report of two cases
CONCLUSION: In cases of carotid artery stenosis with FFT, it is technically possible to retrieve a thrombus with a stent retriever. Although thrombus removal may help reduce the risk of ischemic complications in a series of urgent CAS procedures, there are concerns such as mechanical irritation to the carotid artery plaque, and its indications and alternative treatments should be carefully considered.PMID:37680937 | PMC:PMC10481818 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_513_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)
