A systematic review and meta-analysis of carotid artery stenting for the treatment of cervical carotid artery dissection
CONCLUSION: Both primary stenting and stenting of spontaneous CAD yielded unfavorable results regarding stent thrombosis and stroke rates. Conversely, stenting following FMT displayed acceptable mortality and complication rates corroborating the use of stenting in the setting of CAD as a second line treatment. Due to the low quality of the included studies, definite conclusions cannot be drawn necessitating further research.PMID:35961627 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2022.07.048

A single-center experience of 30-day perioperative and one year clinical outcomes of transcarotid artery revascularization in 100 consecutive patients
CONCLUSION: Although the perioperative events were somewhat higher than what has been reported in previous registries, TCAR for patients who are high-risk for CEA has a low perioperative stroke and stroke/death rates with satisfactory outcome at 1 year. Further long-term data is probably needed to verify long-term outcome.PMID:35634873 | DOI:10.1177/17085381221106330

Presentation, Outcome, and Evolution of Vertebral and Carotid Dissections: A Prospective Registry
Introduction: Dissection of carotid and vertebral arteries is a rare condition, which possibly leads to stroke; however, the ideal therapy for this condition is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to analyse the incidence, clinical presentation, treatment, and possible late recurrences of cervical artery dissections.

Can styloid process and internal carotid artery anatomy be used to predict carotid artery dissection?
This study assesses the association between styloid process length, internal carotid artery position and cervical carotid artery dissection (CCAD). This information would provide potential predicative radiological measurements, which could prevent delays in CCAD diagnosis.

Increased Internal Carotid Artery Tortuosity is a Risk Factor for Spontaneous Cervicocerebral Artery Dissection.
CONCLUSION: Arterial tortuosity is associated with sCCD, and greater tortuosity of the cervical artery may indicate an increased risk of arterial dissection. PMID: 33402322 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Surgical thromboendarterectomy for free-floating thrombus associated with cervical carotid artery dissection: A case report
Free-floating thrombus (FFT) of the cervical carotid artery is a rare but critical condition leading to stroke. The most common underlying pathology is atherosclerotic plaque; non-atherosclerotic pathologies are much rarer. Here we report a case of FFT associated with cervical carotid artery dissection that was successfully treated by surgical thromboendarterectomy.

Non-traumatic vertebral artery dissection presenting with unilateral cervical pain, hemilateral vision problems and headache.
We report a case of a non-traumatic vertebral artery dissection in a 30-year-old woman. Our patient presented with unilateral right-sided neck pain and frontal headache during 3 weeks and recently developed right-sided vision problems. History and clinical findings were non-specific. Neurovascular imaging showed a right-sided vertebral artery dissection from C2 to C6 with an intima flap at C5-C6. The patient was observed in the stroke unit for 1 week and antithrombotics were given during 3 months. There was a complete revascularization of the vertebral artery after 3 months. A review of literature is given concerning p...

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.
