Optical Coherence Tomography Evaluation of Carotid Artery Stenosis and Stenting in Patients With Previous Cervical Radiotherapy
CONCLUSION: The morphological features of RICS were heterogeneous, including heterogeneous signal-rich tissue, dissection, and advanced atherosclerosis. Stenting was successful in all 5 patients with severe RICS. One patient, with high rates of tissue protrusion and stent strut malapposition immediately after stenting, received in-stent neointimal hyperplasia at a 6-month follow-up.PMID:35573285 | PMC:PMC9095735 | DOI:10.3389/fnins.2022.861511

Vertebral artery stenosis predicts cerebrovascular diseases following radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
CONCLUSION: Our study found that NPC patients with vertebral artery stenosis, atrial fibrillation, or hypertension carry a higher risk for ischemic stroke or TIA. Regular assessment of vertebral artery after radiotherapy was suggested.PMID:35357575 | DOI:10.1007/s00520-022-07011-8
