Clinical study of stent forming for symptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis
Stroke is one of the diseases that seriously threaten the survival and health of human beings. In Europe and the United States, stroke is the second leading cause of death after heart disease and tumors.[1] Stroke is also one of the fatal diseases in Asian countries. On average, about 1.5 million new stroke patients are added each year in China, and the incidence of stroke is increasing year by year. About 80% of all stroke patients are ischemic stroke, and symptomatic internal carotid atherosclerotic stenosis is another important cause of ischemic stroke. Ipsilateral carotid stenosis ≥50% increases the incidence of tran...

Intracranial mechanical thrombectomy without extracranial revascularization for a tandem occlusion with robust Circle of Willis: case report
Publication date: Available online 4 October 2019Source: Interdisciplinary NeurosurgeryAuthor(s): Mateja de Leonni Stanonik, Christopher Sy, Cameron McDougall, Lee Birnbaum, Justin MascitelliAbstractA 59-year-old male presented with a severe left middle cerebral artery (MCA) syndrome, a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of 17, and was last known well 26 hours prior. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the head demonstrated a tandem extracranial ICA and intracranial ICA/MCA occlusion. Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) demonstrated a large mismatch. The patient underwent a mechanical thrombectomy usin...

Management of ruptured hidden mirror intracranial aneurysm during mechanical thrombectomy
Publication date: Available online 7 February 2019Source: Interdisciplinary NeurosurgeryAuthor(s): Kamil Zeleňák, Martin Vorčák, Ján Sýkora, Zuzana Trabalková, Jana Zeleňáková, Ema Kantorová, Vladimír NosáľAbstractA 55-year-old woman with acute ischaemic stroke was referred for endovascular treatment after unsuccessful intravenous thrombolysis. Her initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS) was 20. The right carotid artery stenting was performed because of the inappropriate result of angioplasty of the right internal carotid artery stenosis at origin, followed by recanalization of right intern...

Compliant balloon angioplasty for the treatment of internal carotid artery dissection.
This report describes the innovative management of a severe haemodynamic stroke related to an occlusive extracranial internal carotid artery dissection. Intravenous thrombolysis combined with endovascular treatment were undertaken on the basis of a total mismatch profile (National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score of 27 and infarct volume on diffusion-weighted imaging of 0 mL). Balloon angioplasty using a long and compliant balloon microcatheter allowed complete recovery of the intracranial blood flow. The patient showed dramatic clinical improvement (day 1, NIHSS 5) and favourable functional outcome (day 9...
