Endovascular repair combined with in situ fenestration for new ‐onset or residual arch dissection in patients underwent aortic replacement
ConclusionOur preliminary experience suggests that endovascular total arch repair combined with ISF technique is a viable, effective and safe option for treatment. Our mid-term results have been promising, but we acknowledge the need for further evaluation to assess long-term outcomes and durability.

Multicenter comparison of antiplatelet treatment strategies for urgent/emergent neuroendovascular stenting
CONCLUSION: The optimal timing of antiplatelet administration in relation to stent placement and route of administration of antiplatelet agents is unclear. Timing and route of administration of antiplatelet agents may have an effect on thrombosis in emergent neuroendovascular stenting. Significant practice variation exists in antiplatelet agent utilization in emergent neuroendovascular stenting.PMID:37402388 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231180003

Grade I traumatic aortic injury progression
This case highlights the importance of diagnosing Grade I aortic injuries after trauma. Although the prognosis for minimal aortic injury is typically quite good, the patient in this case suffered the unlikely complication of minimal intimal injury progression with resultant thromboembolism and massive stroke. Due to motion artifact and CT resolution limitations, the initial aortic injury was not detected. Thus, potentially life-saving measures such as serial CT monitoring of injury, blood pressure control, and endovascular repair were unable to be performed.

Intraoperative Sonography During Carotid Endarterectomy: Normal Appearance and Spectrum of Complications
Carotid endarterectomy is a commonly performed procedure for prevention of stroke related to carotid stenosis. Intraoperative sonography is used to identify potentially correctable technical defects during carotid endarterectomy. The main risk of endarterectomy is perioperative stroke, and great effort has been put into trying to reduce this risk through various surgical techniques and evaluation of the surgical bed. Postoperative carotid thrombosis, or thombo-embolization from the arterectomy site, remains a common cause of perioperative stroke and is often related to technical defects in the arterial reconstruction proce...
