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.

Abstract 044: Single?Step Intracranial Angioplasty followed by Atlas Stent Deployment Through Mini Trek Rx Balloon

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. Herein, we describe a single‐step approach to deploy Neuroform Atlas stent (Stryker Neurovascular, Fremont, CA) which is a hybrid laser‐cut, nitinol self‐expanding stent without the need for ELW or lesion re‐access using MINI TREK RX (Abbott Vascular, Inc.,

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. Further prospective data is warranted.

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.

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. Pooled data from four trials were analyzed, encompassing patients undergoing PCI or CABG for left main disease.

Abstract 225: Rescue Stenting for Posterior Circulation Strokes

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. IntroductionIntracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is associated with up to 32% of posterior circulation strokes.1 1 ICAD‐related strokes are at high risk for re‐occlusion following MT.
