A systematic review and meta-analysis of carotid artery stenting for the treatment of cervical carotid artery dissection
CONCLUSION: Both primary stenting and stenting of spontaneous CAD yielded unfavorable results regarding stent thrombosis and stroke rates. Conversely, stenting following FMT displayed acceptable mortality and complication rates corroborating the use of stenting in the setting of CAD as a second line treatment. Due to the low quality of the included studies, definite conclusions cannot be drawn necessitating further research.PMID:35961627 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2022.07.048

A single-center experience of 30-day perioperative and one year clinical outcomes of transcarotid artery revascularization in 100 consecutive patients
CONCLUSION: Although the perioperative events were somewhat higher than what has been reported in previous registries, TCAR for patients who are high-risk for CEA has a low perioperative stroke and stroke/death rates with satisfactory outcome at 1 year. Further long-term data is probably needed to verify long-term outcome.PMID:35634873 | DOI:10.1177/17085381221106330

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.

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]

Endovascular Management of Rupture in Acute Type B Aortic Dissections.
CONCLUSION: With 16% in hospital mortality and 8% early major complications, this study confirms the feasibility of TEVAR for r-ABAD with a lower peri-operative morbidity and mortality rate compared with open surgery. Given the high rate of re-intervention, close follow up is required in surviving patients. PMID: 25805327 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Differences and Similarities Between Spontaneous Dissections of the Internal Carotid Artery and the Vertebral Artery
There are clinical, pathologic, and outcome differences in spontaneous dissections of the internal carotid artery vs those of the vertebral artery. Spontaneous cervical artery dissection is a major cause of stroke in younger patients. Spontaneous cervical artery dissection causes up to 25% of all ischemic strokes in patients 15 to 49 years of age (Putaala J et al, Stroke 2009;40:1195-203). Although constitutional and environmental factors are both thought to play a role in spontaneous cervical artery dissection, precise causes are poorly understood. Significant differences between spontaneous internal carotid artery disse...

Results of carotid artery stenting with transcervical access
Conclusions: CAS with the transcervical approach is a safe procedure with low incidence of stroke and complications. It can be used as an alternative to femoral access in patients with unfavorable aortoiliac or aortic arch anatomy.

Primary Extracranial Vertebral Artery Aneurysms
Conclusions: Primary extracranial vertebral artery aneurysms are rare and occur in patients with hereditary disorders. Operative intervention is warranted in symptomatic patients. Exclusion and reconstruction may be performed with open and hybrid techniques with low morbidity and mortality.
