Presentation, Outcome, and Evolution of Vertebral and Carotid Dissections: A Prospective Registry
Introduction: Dissection of carotid and vertebral arteries is a rare condition, which possibly leads to stroke; however, the ideal therapy for this condition is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to analyse the incidence, clinical presentation, treatment, and possible late recurrences of cervical artery dissections.

Antiplatelet vs. Anticoagulation in Cervical Artery Dissection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Conclusions: Compared with the antiplatelet group, the anticoagulation group has a lower risk of ischemic stroke without increasing bleeding risk when treating CAD. Anticoagulation seems to be superior over the antiplatelet in treating CAD but needs to be further tested by specifying several issues, such as location, initial symptom types, and treatment protocols.

Micro-Embolic Signals and Dissection: Association or Causation for Stroke? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Our meta-analysis showed 46% prevalence of MES in the studies which looked at acute stroke/TIA secondary to CAD using TCD. This finding supports the assumption that embolism may be a major cause of stroke in patients with dissection although this could be determined only in a small population.Cerebrovasc Dis

Stroke Prevention in Cervical Artery Dissection
AbstractPurpose of ReviewCervical artery dissection (CAD) is rare, yet it is a common cause of stroke in young and middle-aged adults. Historically, some senior clinicians favored anticoagulation in the prevention of stroke due to CAD. Choosing the optimal antithrombotic treatment with either antiplatelet (AP) or anticoagulant (AC) medications remains a challenge. This paper will review the clinical features and imaging of CAD, and the acute treatment and prevention of stroke due to CAD.Recent FindingsUntil 2015, there were no prospective randomized trials in the optimal antithrombotic management of CAD. The Cervical Arter...

Surgical and radiological interventions for treating symptomatic extracranial cervical artery dissection
CONCLUSIONS: No RCTs or CCTs compared either surgery or endovascular therapy with control. Thus, there is no available evidence to support their use for the treatment of extracranial cervical artery dissection in addition to antithrombotic therapy in people who continue to have neurological symptoms when treated with antithrombotic therapy alone.PMID:34559418 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD013118.pub2

Clinical Features of Patients With Cervical Artery Dissection and Fibromuscular Dysplasia
A retrospective review of the multicenter IPSYS CeAD (Italian project on stroke in young adults cervical artery dissection) study was performed from January 2000 to June 2019.

Can styloid process and internal carotid artery anatomy be used to predict carotid artery dissection?
This study assesses the association between styloid process length, internal carotid artery position and cervical carotid artery dissection (CCAD). This information would provide potential predicative radiological measurements, which could prevent delays in CCAD diagnosis.

Increased Internal Carotid Artery Tortuosity is a Risk Factor for Spontaneous Cervicocerebral Artery Dissection.
CONCLUSION: Arterial tortuosity is associated with sCCD, and greater tortuosity of the cervical artery may indicate an increased risk of arterial dissection. PMID: 33402322 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Internal carotid and vertebral artery dissections - a comparison of clinical, radiological and prognostic characteristics.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: In a series of patients with CeAD, we observed significant differences between VAD and ICAD in terms of clinical symptoms and radiological features. PMID: 33047785 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Dilator-Dotter Technique: A Modified Method of Rapid Internal Carotid Artery Revascularization in Acute Ischemic Stroke INTERVENTIONAL
CONCLUSIONS: The dilator-Dotter technique may be a safe and effective modification of the traditional Dotter technique in allowing rapid ICA recanalization in cases of acute ischemic stroke due to tandem occlusions.

Differential Risk Factors and Outcomes of Ischemic Stroke due to Cervical Artery Dissection in Young Adults
Conclusions: While history of migraine and neck manipulation are significantly associated with CeAD, most of the traditional vascular risk factors for stroke are less prevalent in this group when compared to strokes due to other etiologies. For CeAD-related strokes, higher initial stroke severity and history of tobacco use may be associated with higher stroke-related disability, but overall, patients with CeAD have similar outcomes as compared to strokes due to other etiologies.Cerebrovasc Dis

Trends in Comorbidities and Complications Among Patients Undergoing Inpatient Spine Surgery
Study Design. Retrospective database study. Objective. We sought to identify trends in demographics, comorbidities, and postoperative complications among patients undergoing ACDF and PLF. Summary of Background Data. As demand for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and posterior lumbar fusion (PLF) surgery continues to increase, it is important to understand changes in the healthcare system and patient populations undergoing these procedures. Methods. We identified 220,520 ACDF and 151,547 PLF surgeries (2006–2016; Premier Healthcare database). Annual proportions or medians were calculated for patie...
