The impact of statin therapy after surgical or endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms.
CONCLUSIONSConsistent statin therapy was significantly associated with better prognosis after coil embolization or surgical clipping of cerebral aneurysms. PMID: 31125972 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association between low levels of serum miR-638 and atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability in patients with high-grade carotid stenosis.
CONCLUSIONS According to this preliminary proof-of-concept study, serum miR-638 might constitute a promising noninvasive biomarker associated with plaque vulnerability and ischemic stroke, particularly in individuals with elevated cardiovascular risk.

Predicting ischemic stroke after carotid artery stenting based on proximal calcification and the jellyfish sign.
CONCLUSIONS The jellyfish sign, proximal Ca, and LDL cholesterol were considered to be important predictors for new DWI lesions after CAS. These 3 factors can be easily determined during a standard clinical visit. Thus, these 3 variables-especially the jellyfish sign and proximal Ca-may be useful for reducing the ischemic stroke risk in patients with stenosis of the cervical carotid artery.

Vertebral artery transposition for revascularization of the posterior circulation: a critical assessment of temporary and permanent complications and outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS Despite the optimization of medical therapies and lifestyle modifications, a select subset of patients with posterior vascular circulation insufficiency remains. In the authors' experience, vertebral artery-carotid artery transposition provides a surgical option with relatively low long-term complication and restenosis rates that are comparable or lower than those reported with endovascular treatment.
