A comparative study of thoracoscopic left atrial appendage clipping versus stapled resection
CONCLUSIONS: The clipping group demonstrated a higher rate of complete LAA closure compared to the stapled resection group. Close monitoring of patients with residual LAA stumps is essential. Further research with larger cohorts is needed to elucidate impact of residual LAA stump on thromboembolic events.PMID:37734642 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.09.010

Fibromuscular dysplasia incidentally identified with computed tomography angiography
A 78-year-old woman had presented to the emergency room with altered mental status after the inadvertent consumption of a cannabis product. A stroke workup was initiated, including computed tomography angiography, which demonstrated severe tortuosity and a beaded appearance of her bilateral internal carotid arteries (A/Cover and B). The radiographic imaging findings, including alternating areas of bulging and narrowing, were consistent with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD; C). The patient denied any history of transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident, amaurosis fugax, or chronic kidney issues.

How to improve the description of superior mesenteric artery occlusions in acute mesenteric ischemia: A new computed tomography anatomic segmentation
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is an intestinal vascular emergency and one of the most severe ischemic syndromes. For stroke or myocardial infarction, arterial segmentations were proposed as early as 1938 and 1975, respectively. These segmentations - used on a daily basis - made it possible to harmonize practices and standardize neurovascular and coronary studies. There is no such standardization in AMI, but the vital and functional prognostic challenge is of the same order. In addition, the lack of a standardized description of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) lesions limits the interpretation and comparability of the studies.

Clot-based time attenuation curve as a novel imaging predictor of mechanical thrombectomy functional outcome in acute ischemia stroke
ConclusionsThrombus TAC on CTP were found to be a promising new imaging biomarker to predict the outcomes of MT in AIS.Clinical relevance statementThis study revealed that clot-based time attenuation curve based on admission perfusion CT could reflect the permeability and composition of thrombus and, also, provide valuable information to predict the clinical outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemia stroke.Key Points• Two time-attenuation curves distributions achieved strong correlations (|r|= 0.627, p < 0.001) with histopathological results.• The unimodal time-attenuation curve was ...

Thoracic Aortic Plaque Burden and Prediction of Cardiovascular Events in Patients Undergoing 320-row Multidetector CT Coronary Angiography
CONCLUSIONS: We found that comprehensive non-invasive evaluation of TAPB and CAD has prognostic value in MACE risk stratification for suspected CAD patients undergoing CCTA.PMID:37704429 | DOI:10.5551/jat.64251

Acute and subacute neurovascular impact of cryptogenic air emboli
CONCLUSION: This case highlights that cerebral air emboli can cause delayed ischemia that may not be appreciated on initial imaging. As such, affected patients may require intensive neurocritical care management, close neurologic monitoring, and repeat imaging irrespective of initial radiographic findings.PMID:37680929 | PMC:PMC10481802 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_382_2023
