The Impact of Complete Revascularization in Symptomatic Severe Left Ventricular Dysfunction between Coronary Artery Bypass Graft and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with symptomatic (NYHA class ≥ 3) severe LV dysfunction and CAD, CABG brought less HF admission when compared to patients in the PCI group, but this did not differ when compared to the complete revascularization subgroup. Therefore, an extensive revascularization, achieved by CABG or PCI, is associated with a lower HF hospitalization rate during the 3-yearfollow-up period in such populations.PMID:36896424 | PMC:PMC9991473 | DOI:10.1155/2023/9226722

Mechanical Thrombectomy for M1 Subocclusive Thrombus With Lateral Lenticulostriate Artery Occlusion: A Case Report and Literature Review
This article describes a treatment strategy for M1 subocclusive thrombus, focusing on the indications for mechanical thrombectomy. A 58-year-old male on admission for pneumonia had a sudden onset of dysarthria and motor deficits. He has a history of dilated cardiomyopathy and underwent left ventricular assist device implantation 3 years ago. At onset, his National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was nine. Computed tomography angiography demonstrated a filling defect in the distal right M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery. Angiography confirmed the presence of a subocclusive thrombus within the distal r...

Whole-genome Sequencing in Familial Cases of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease (S36.005)
Conclusions:Compared with conventional case-control association study, whole-genome sequencing simultaneously identifies both rare structural variants and SNVs associated with ICAD. This study improved our understanding on the genetic contribution of stroke in ICAD families. The various novel mutations and structural variant identified indicates the heterogeneity and complexity of ICAD.Disclosure: Dr. Leung has nothing to disclose. Dr. Dong has nothing to disclose.

Cerebral Infarction in Both Carotid and Vertebrobasilar Territories Associated with a Persistent Primitive Hypoglossal Artery with Severe Dilated Cardiomyopathy
A persistent primitive hypoglossal artery (PPHA) is a relatively rare vascular anomaly of a persistent carotid–basilar anastomosis. A 76-year-old man with severe dilated cardiomyopathy suddenly lost consciousness. A magnetic resonance imaging scan of his brain revealed extensive infarction in the carotid and vertebrobasilar territories. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed a PPHA and occlusion of the left internal carotid artery and vertebrobasilar artery. Cardioembolic infarction associated with a PPHA should be recognized as a possible cause of multiple infarctions in both the carotid and vertebrobasilar distributio...
