Result of 48-Hour Approach to Symptomatic Carotid Lesions in Patients With Stable Neurologic Examinations
Timing of treatment for symptomatic carotid disease has a controversial history with current guidelines recommending carotid surgery within 48 hours up to 2 weeks. Advocating for earlier carotid endarterectomy (CEA) after stroke (cerebrovascular accident [CVA]) or while a patient is having transient ischemic attacks (TIA) can potentially provide additional benefit to acute stroke patients resulting in improved stroke and death outcomes.

Optimal management of carotid artery disease in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass
It is well-known that patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with coexisting carotid artery disease are at increased risk for perioperative stroke and death. The prevalence of carotid disease among patients undergoing CABG is 6% to 14%,1 and the risk of stroke following CABG increases from 3% for unilateral 50% to 99% stenosis to 5% for bilateral 50% to 99% stenoses and 10% for carotid occlusion.2 The risk of stroke and death are notably higher in patients with a history of transient ischemic attack (TIA)/stroke.

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.

Acute ischemic stroke: The role of emergency carotid endarterectomy in isolated extracranial internal carotid artery occlusion
CONCLUSIONS: Emergency CEA in isolated eICA occlusion has proved to be a safe and effective treatment option in selected patients. CT perfusion, imaging the ischemic penumbra and quantifying the tissue suitable for reperfusion, offers a valid support in the diagnostic-therapeutic workup. Indeed, we can infer that the area of the ischemic penumbra is directly proportional to the margin of clinical improvement after revascularization, supposing that the appropriate intervention timing is respect.PMID:37594376 | DOI:10.1177/17085381231192712

Limb and cardiovascular event risk in type 1 and 2 diabetic patients with peripheral artery disease
Conclusions: PAD patients with T1DM had a higher LE risk than those with T2DM, even after adjustment for glycemic control and pertinent risk factors, but CVE risk and all-cause mortality were equivocal. These data suggest a potential role for more intensive LE risk modification in PAD patients with T1DM, but further investigation is needed.PMID:37519117 | DOI:10.1024/0301-1526/a001086
