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). Periprocedural ischemic and hemorrhagic complications occurred in 2.1% and 1.7%, respectively.

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. Fear of hemorrhagic complications (74%) was the most compelling reason not to perform RS±angioplasty.

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.
