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 010: Technical Approaches for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease Large Vessel Occlusion Strokes

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. IntroductionThe optimal management strategy for large vessel occlusion strokes (LVOS) from intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) remains debated. Endovascular intervention was defined as either angioplasty, stenting, or a combination of both.

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.

Heart Hospital of New Mexico at Lovelace Medical Center and GE HealthCare Collaborate to Install the First Allia IGS Pulse Electrophysiology Lab in the United States for Minimally Invasive Cardiovascular Procedures

DAIC

HHNM will use the Allia IGS Pulse system in its cardiac electrophysiology (EP) lab to plan, guide and monitor the outcomes of electrophysiological procedures, such as cardiac ablations, cardiac catherizations, transcatheter aortic valve replacements, balloon and coronary angioplasties and more. It’s an honor to have the U.S.’s

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.
