Submaximal Angioplasty for Severe Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis: Benefit of Revascularization at Last

Stroke Journal

The longstanding benefits of percutaneous angioplasty and stenting in coronary artery disease, where atherosclerosis is the overarching cause in nearly all cases, provided a compelling rationale for exploring similar interventions in intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.

Abstract 132: Angioplasty and Stenting for Symptomatic Vertebral Artery Atherosclerotic Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta?Analysis

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

We included articles reporting patients > 18 years old with symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenoses due to atherosclerosis treated with stenting (with or without angioplasty). Those reporting patients with vertebral dissections were excluded.

Patterns of Care in the Diagnosis and Management of Intracranial Atherosclerosis?Related Large?Vessel Occlusion: The Rescue?LVO Survey

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Most respondents (86%) preferred acute treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting (RS)±angioplasty. Fear of hemorrhagic complications (74%) was the most compelling reason not to perform RS±angioplasty. Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print.

Abstract 056: Patterns of Care in the Management of Intracranial Atherosclerosis?related Large Vessel Occlusion–the RESCUE?LVO survey

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionIntracranial atherosclerosis‐related large vessel occlusion (ICAS‐LVO) is a common cause of failed mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) [1]. Treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting and/or angioplasty has shown promising outcomes, but diagnosing ICAS‐LVO during MT can be challenging [2, 3].

William M. Feinberg Lecture: Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: Current and Future Considerations

Stroke Journal

For decades, the ACAS (Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis Study) and ACST (Asymptomatic Carotid Surgery Trial) trials provided most of the evidence supporting endarterectomy for patients with asymptomatic high-grade stenosis who were otherwise good candidates for surgery. Stroke, Ahead of Print.

Abstract 4136687: VTRNA2-1 Promoter Methylation as a Prognostic Biomarker in Peripheral Artery Disease: Implications for Maternal Nutritional Influence

Circulation

Background:Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality and is closely related to diabetes mellitus (DM) and atherosclerosis. Inclusion criteria included adults over 20 years old, consent to participate, and a requirement for angioplasty.

Abstract WMP9: Comparative Analysis of Endovascular Treatment Outcomes in Acute Large Vessel Occlusion Strokes: Intracranial Atherosclerotic vs. Non- Intracranial Atherosclerotic Occlusions

Stroke Journal

We assessed the clinical outcomes of endovascular treatment in acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes caused by ICAD and compared them with large vessel occlusion strokes not associated with intracranial atherosclerosis (non-ICAD LVO).Methods:Our
