Contralateral Occlusion Does Not Predispose to Higher Stroke Rates after Carotid Endarterectomy
Multiple small studies have suggested that contralateral internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion is associated with higher stroke rates after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) than when contralateral ICA is not occluded. This situation has therefore been designated as a “high-risk” situation and been established as a criterion for carotid stenting. Our objective was to use a large multi-institutional clinical database to assess the effect of contralateral ICA occlusion on 30-day stroke and death after CEA.

Carotid Revascularization Procedures Should not Performed in Asymptomatic Patients with Moderate Carotid Artery Stenosis
Significant national variation exists in defining the degree of stenosis that requires intervention in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis(ACAS). We aimed to evaluate the risk of perioperative stroke and death in ACAS patients undergoing CEA and CAS for moderate versus high-grade stenosis in a real-world population.

Endovascular Repair of Blunt Thoracic Aortic Trauma: Is Postimplant Hypertension an Incidental Finding?
Blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) is the second most common cause of death in trauma patients. Nowadays, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become the treatment of choice because of lower rates of mortality, paraplegia, and stroke. However, concerns have been raised whether graft implantation is related to the development of hypertension in the postoperative period. The aim of this study was to report short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing TEVAR for BTAIs at a tertiary hospital and to investigate postimplant hypertension.

Stroke Outcomes In Sickle Cell Patients: From Children To Adults
One common and potentially devastating manifestation of sickle cell disease (SCD) that can occur in both a pediatric and adult population is stroke. Due to the high incidence of stroke in patients with SCD coupled with the severe, costly, and long-lasting effects, it is crucial to investigate this population. To date, there is no published data on stroke outcomes in pediatric and adult patients with SCD in Florida. The purpose of this study is to provide a modern look at the burden of stroke in this population.

Durability of Carotid Endarterectomy with Bovine Pericardial Patch
Multiple studies have shown that patch angioplasty following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) reduces the risk of stroke and restenosis when compared with primary closure. Biological, synthetic, or vein patches have been traditionally used in CEA. This paper reports the early and long-term outcomes of bovine pericardium (BP) for patch angioplasty in CEA.

Invited Commentary
Antiplatelet and statin therapy have become routine agents in the medical armamentarium for patients with carotid artery stenosis, supported by results from multiple randomized controlled trials showing lower rates of stroke associated with use of these agents.[1] Moreover, patients taking these medical agents have been found to have lower rates of stroke and mortality following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in several prior observational studies.[2, 3] As such, antiplatelet and statin therapy is considered standard of care for patients with carotid artery stenosis before and after CEA, and recommended by all practice guide...

Hypertension, acute stent thrombosis and paraplegia 6 months after TEVAR for blunt thoracic aortic injury in a 22 year old patient
TEVAR is a less invasive option for managing traumatic injuries of the descending aorta in polytraumatized patients. Concerns arise when treating young patients with TEVAR.A 22-year old male was admitted to the Emergency Department following a high-impact road traffic collision. Whole body CT scan documented multiple injuries, including rupture of descending thoracic aorta just below the isthmus. There was no evidence of paraplegia or stroke. We decided to treat him in an endovascular fashion with a Zenith Cook (Cook Incorporated, Bloomington, IN) endograft.
