New ischaemic brain lesions in cervical artery dissection stratified to antiplatelets or anticoagulants
ConclusionNew ischaemic brain lesions occurred in a quarter of CAD patients, independently of the type of antithrombotic treatment. MRI findings could potentially serve as surrogate outcomes in pilot treatment trials.

Response to Cassidy and Cote
We thank Drs Cassidy and Cote for their letter in response to our article “Case Misclassification….” It appears as if the methods and impact of our study was misinterpreted and we appreciate the opportunity to offer clarification. Our primary aim was very simple—to determine the positive predictive value (PPV) for identifying cervical artery dissection (CAD) by using the search strategy used in the studies by Rothwell and Cassidy. The earlier studies purport to negate the causal association between cervical manipulative therapy (CMT) and CAD by demonstrating a similar association between visits to primary care phys...

Endovascular Management of Rupture in Acute Type B Aortic Dissections.
CONCLUSION: With 16% in hospital mortality and 8% early major complications, this study confirms the feasibility of TEVAR for r-ABAD with a lower peri-operative morbidity and mortality rate compared with open surgery. Given the high rate of re-intervention, close follow up is required in surviving patients. PMID: 25805327 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Literature Review and Case Report of Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Cerebral Infarction Attributed to Cervical Arterial Dissection
Acute cerebral infarction (ACI) caused by cervical arterial dissection (CAD) is a rare clinical disease. Therapeutic approaches include anticoagulant therapy, antiplatelet aggregation, and thrombolytic therapy. Currently, anticoagulant therapy or antiplatelet aggregation is the primary choice, whereas the thrombolytic therapy is still controversial. In this article, we report a patient with ACI caused by right CAD, which led to a compensatory increase in blood supply to the right middle cerebral artery through the anterior communicating artery.

Critical assessment of complications associated with use of the Pipeline Embolization Device
Conclusions Despite a low rate of permanent complications associated with the PED in this series, the total complication rate was high. This finding supports the conclusion that this device should be reserved for the most challenging aneurysms. Patients should be advised of this higher rate of transient periprocedural complications. Trial registration number IRB#:14BN027 Q7.

The Association Between Cervical Spine Manipulation and Carotid Artery Dissection: A Systematic Review of the Literature
Controversy surrounds the safety of cervical spine manipulation. Ischemic stroke secondary to cervical spine manipulation is a hypothesized adverse event. In Canada, the seriousness of these events and their perceived association to cervical spine manipulation has led some members of the public to call for a ban of the procedure. The primary objective of this study was to determine the incidence of internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection after cervical spine manipulation in patients who experience neck pain and its associated disorders.

Eagle Syndrome Presenting After Blunt Trauma: A Case Series
Eagle syndrome is an unusual phenomenon unfamiliar to most vascular surgeons. Patients develop neurologic or vascular manifestations arising from an elongated styloid process and/or an ossified stylohyoid ligament. These symptoms are secondary to irritation or compression of the neurovascular bundle within the carotid sheath. Presentations can vary from cervical pain and a globus sensation to carotid dissection, transient ischemic attacks, and stroke. Here we present a case series of the carotid subtype identified after blunt trauma.

Ischemic Cervical Myelopathy Caused by Vertebral Artery Dissection: The Clinical Utility of a Motor-evoked Potential Study
Conclusions: When there is diagnostic ambiguity between the upper and lower motor neuron lesions in VAD, motor-evoked potential study can be helpful to diagnose peripheral neurological complication of VAD.

Headache in Intracranial and Cervical Artery Dissections
Abstract Dissection refers to a tear in the wall of an artery, with the two main types being intracranial or extracranial. Dissections tend to occur most commonly in the young, sometimes secondary to trauma involving the neck. To confirm a dissection, some type of vessel imaging is necessary, including magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), computed tomography angiography (CTA), or angiography. The most common presentation of a dissection (especially extracranial) is pain, usually head and neck pain along with a Horner’s syndrome. Patients may also present with ischemic symptoms, including transient ischemic att...
