Abstract TP220: Intracranial Dotter Angioplasty Using Tenzing for Symptomatic Atherosclerotic Stenosis: Initial Experience

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP220-ATP220, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Traditional endovascular treatment for acutely symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) includes balloon angioplasty and stenting. mm) outer diameter, which may enable catheter-mediated Dotter angioplasty of ICAD, or Tenzing-plasty.

Impact of Diabetes on Outcomes in Left Main Coronary Revascularization: PCI vs. CABG

Cardiology Update

Interestingly, while rates of all-cause mortality did not differ significantly between PCI and CABG groups, PCI was associated with lower early stroke rates. Among the patients included, those with diabetes exhibited higher rates of adverse events, including death, spontaneous myocardial infarction (MI), and repeat revascularization.

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

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. Asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis is an important therapeutic target for stroke prevention. Advances in treatments against atherosclerosis have driven down the rates of stroke in patients managed without revascularization.

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

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. IntroductionVertebral artery stenting represents a viable option in treating symptomatic vertebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis. The most frequent stenosis location was the V1 segment of the vertebral artery (88.4%). and 1.7%, respectively.

Abstract WMP88: Intraarterial Tirofiban Through Deployed Stent-Retriever Bailout: A Potential Alternative to Angioplasty and Stenting

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP88-AWMP88, February 1, 2024. Background:In stroke patients undergoing EVT, angioplasty and stenting (A&S) has been described as a bailout technique when thrombectomy fails or intracranial stenosis is suspected. In 4 cases (28.6%) A&S was finally performed.
