Abstract 171: Embolization of non?ruptured intracranial aneurysms with flow diverter devices in Mexico: Quick responses

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionFlow diverters (FD) are stent‐type devices that enable the exclusion of intracranial aneurysms in clinical scenarios where coil‐type devices exhibit high failure rates. Adults older than 18 with non‐ruptured intracranial aneurysms were included. years (±13.3). years (±13.3). Neck measurements were in the range of 1.9

Bare metal stent application to prevent limb occlusion in iliac arteries with severe tortuosity during an endovascular aneurysm repair: a cohort study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThe risk of limb graft occlusion (LGO) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is increased by severe tortuosity of the iliac artery. Nonetheless, there were disparities in external iliac angioplasty between the two groups during the follow-up period (p < 0.05).ConclusionDeploying

Abstract 076: 2023 Fusarium Meningitis Outbreak: Neuroendovascular Outcomes and Observations of the Angioinvasive Disease from South Texas

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

After several patients in this series developed subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured mycotic aneurysm, we proceeded to institute weekly cerebral angiography protocol. This detected moderate to severe vasospasm in 75%, and aneurysms in 58%, with the most common site being the basilar artery.

Abstract TP247: Iatrogenic Cervical Artery Dissections during Endovascular Interventions

Stroke Journal

Of the 32 patients, 9(28.1%) had dissection with diagnostic angiograms, 6(18.8%) endovascular thrombectomy, 15(46.9%) aneurysm treatment, and 2(6.3%) angioplasty with or without stenting. Common comorbidities included hypertension (62.5%), smoking (56.3%), and hyperlipidemia (46.9%).

Abstract WP194: Quantified Effects of Intra-Arterial Vasodilatory Therapy for Cerebral Vasospasm

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Cerebral vasospasm is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Subjects were excluded if balloon angioplasty was performed prior to/within 2 days of the index procedure. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP194-AWP194, February 1, 2024.

Four anterior STEMIs: acute and reperfused vs. won't reperfuse, subacute and reperfused vs. not reperfused

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Persistent ST elevation 3 days after a nearly transmural MI portends possible LV aneurysm. It is very unlikely to be LV aneurysm morphology when the ST elevation is so high and the T-Wave inversion is so deep. Echo at this time showed some improvement in EF to 40%, but persistent akinesis and thrombus. Cath showed a 95% LAD with flow.
