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

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue 4 , Page e114-e118, April 1, 2025. Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis is a leading cause of stroke with a significant risk of recurrent ischemic events despite aggressive medical management. However, 3 percutaneous angioplasty and stenting randomized trials showed negative or neutral results.

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.

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.

Abstract TP248: Factors associated with Silent Brain Infarcts after the Middle Cerebral Artery Stenting or Balloon Angioplasty

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP248-ATP248, February 1, 2025. Objective:Silent brain infarctions (SBIs), which appear as dot-like lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) after endovascular procedures, are associated with an increased risk of subsequent stroke, dementia and cognitive decline. 14.74], p=0.012).

Abstract WP286: MRI-derived Pressure Ratio for Stroke Risk Assessment of Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP286-AWP286, February 1, 2025. Background:Hemodynamic evaluation is crucial in assessing stroke risk in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS). Twenty patients (9.6%) experienced ischemic stroke or TIA during the one-year follow-up. before PTAS.
