Update on Diagnosis and Management of Kawasaki Disease: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

Kawasaki disease (KD), an acute self-limited febrile illness that primarily affects children <5 years old, is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in developed countries, with the potential of leading to coronary artery dilation and coronary artery aneurysms in 25% of untreated patients.

Anatomy of the aortic segmental arteries—the fundamentals of preventing spinal cord ischemia in aortic aneurysm repair

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ObjectiveSpinal cord ischemia due to damage or occlusion of the orifices of aortic segmental arteries (ASA) is a serious complication of open and endovascular aortic repair.

Abstract WP370: Platelet morphology but not coagulation markers predicts delayed cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Approximately 30% of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients who survive the rupture develop delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) 4 to 10 days following aSAH. However, further research with a larger patient cohort is necessary to validate these findings.

Abstract 039: Angiographic Outcomes of Woven EndoBridge and Balloon?Assisted Coiling for the Treatment of Ruptured Wide?Necked Aneurysms

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionThe optimal endovascular approach for wide‐neck intracranial aneurysms (IAs) during the acute phase of bleeding remains uncertain, and the use of stent‐assisted coiling or flow diversion is controversial due to antiplatelet therapy requirements and potential risks (1, 2).

Abstract WP152: Association Between Cerebrospinal Fluid Interleukin-6 Levels and Cerebral Autoregulation After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Elevated levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) have been correlated with delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, the role of neuroinflammation in SAH pathophysiology remains incompletely understood.

Lowering Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events by Treating Residual Inflammatory Risk

DAIC

1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3 7 Research has shown inflammation plays a significant role in the development of atherosclerosis and ASCVD,8-10 and even the formation of plaque.11
