Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology
NOVEMBER 9, 2023
The role of intracranial stenting in ICAS remains uncertain. In the SAMMPRIS trial, patients who had experienced recent TIA/CVA secondary to 70‐99% ICAS demonstrated an increased risk of recurrent stroke when treated with angioplasty and stenting compared to medical therapy alone [1].

This study compares outcomes in AF patients with GIB on AC alone to those on combination AP and AC therapy, as part of a larger prospective study from 2013 to 2023. Patients in the combination AP +AC therapy group had a higher prevalence of CAD, myocardial infarction, and coronary/vascular stent placement compared to the AC monotherapy group.

Unfortunately, we do not have those images for review, but the operators described a ruptured LAD plaque and they stented this area, which ensures the stability of the plaque. The image on the left shows the LAD before intervention, and the red circled portion on the right indicates the stented region.

Jeffery Dormu was a double board certified vascular surgeon who was paid $13 million dollars by Medicare alone between 2013 and 2017. He is again sent to Dr. Dormu, who on the same day, performs another angiogram which revealed an in-stent restenosis of the superficial femoral artery stent and a 60% stenosis of the tibioperoneal trunk.

One of our fine interns, Daniel Lee, who is also an ECG whiz, found this paper from 2013 and brought it to my attention: The delayed activation wave in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. A 100% occlusion on of the circumflex, proximal to the first obtuse marginal, was found, opened, and stented. The cath lab was activated.

LAD and D1 were stented, but flow unfortunately could not be well restored despite efforts (they list the post intervention TIMI flow still as 0). Serial tracings following stent placement confirmed the large extent of myocardial injury. LCX and RCA were described as "normal" in the cath report.
