Multimodality imaging of carotid web: A case report and literature review
CONCLUSIONS: carotid web is an under-recognized cause of ischemic stroke. It is easy to be missed or misdiagnosed. Carotid revascularization can effectively prevent recurrent stroke for patients with symptomatic carotid web. Clinicians should strength their learning and understanding of carotid web.PMID:35306924 | DOI:10.1177/17085381221084809

Carotid Artery Entrapment by the Hyoid Bone —A Rare Cause of Recurrent Strokes in a Young Patient
We report a case of recurrent strokes in a 32-year-old woman due to an elongated hyoid bone causing thrombus formation in her right internal carotid artery (ICA), resulting in recurrent embolic strokes confirmed on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.

Safety and Efficacy of the New Micromesh-Covered Stent CGuard in Patients Undergoing Carotid Artery Stenting: Early Experience From a Single Centre.
CONCLUSIONS: The technical and clinical outcomes of this single centre study suggest that the CGuard may be a safe and effective device for endovascular treatment of symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects, independent of aortic arch anatomy. Further larger comparative studies are needed to confirm these benefits. PMID: 29089282 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Upper Extremity Ischemia as a “Warning Shot” of Cerebellar Infarction
A 44-year-old woman without cardiovascular risk factors complained of pain and coldness in the digits of her left hand. Radial and ulnar pulses were palpable, with equal brachial pressures on both sides. After a 2-hour stay in the outpatient department she developed acute headache, nausea, and vomiting. Computed tomographic scan with contrast medium revealed a floating thrombus in the left subclavian artery extending towards the origin of the vertebral artery (A). Brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an infarction of the left cerebellum (B), whereupon the patient was immediately referred to the stroke unit.

Cryptogenic Stroke Following Abdominal Free Flap Breast Reconstruction Surgery
Conclusion Surgeons and cardiologists should be aware of this cerebrovascular complication secondary to PFO following major reconstructive surgery such as microvascular breast reconstruction. It also serves to challenge microvascular surgeons to reconsider routine use of central venous pressure lines in free flap patients who might otherwise have good peripheral vessels for postoperative fluids and antibiotic administration.

Carotid Artery Free-Floating Thrombus Caused by Paradoxical Embolization From Greater Saphenous Vein Ascending Thrombophlebitis
We report a case of a young woman without cardiovascular risk factors who was admitted to our emergency department with listlessness and altered mental status. The clinical examination revealed right lower limb swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging and contrast-enhanced computed tomographic scans revealed a free floating thrombus of the left internal carotid artery (ICA) with a large bilateral frontal ischemic lesion. The diagnosis of a medium-sized PFO with moderate right-to-left contrast shunting was made after transesophageal echocardiography. No other cardiac sources for embolization were detected, while an ascending th...
