The Neuroguard Integrated Embolic Protection (IEP) system is an experimental treatment for carotid artery stenosis, also known as carotid artery disease, a condition in which fatty-waxy deposits known as plaque builds up and blocks the normal flow of blood in the large arteries on either side of the neck. Designed by Raleigh, N.C.-based
Some of the late-breaking topics that will be covered include transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), peripheral artery disease (PAD), and pulmonary embolism (PE): Impact of Age on Procedural Timing for Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis: Results from the Early TAVR Trial The PERFORMANCE II Trial: A Prospective Multicenter Single Arm Investigation (..)
Stenosis of the external carotid artery in such patients can be a source of atheroembolism or hypoperfusion. We describe a case of external carotid stenting with carotid stump coil occlusion.MethodsWe present a case report. Repeat imaging at follow up did not show further embolic episodes, with improvement in the patient’s deficits.
Purpose:Since the balloon protection device became unavailable in Japan three years ago, the DWI-positive rate after carotid artery stenting (CAS) has increased. We have developed a Proximal balloon Occlusion With forcEd aspiRation (POWER) technique to prevent distal embolization in CAS with the filter protection device.
She elected to undergo right MEV coil embolization. For management she underwent coil embolization of the right occipital vein, as this was the vessel the posterior auricular vein was draining into. Initially, he underwent stent‐assisted coiling of a high‐riding jugular bulb with no change in symptoms.
Coil embolization was performed for fifty‐four patients using various adjunctive techniques (simple, 7; double catheter, 15; balloon neck remodeling, 7; stent‐assisted, 26 (LVIS Jr., The surgical results revealed complete coil embolization in 27, neck remnant in 26, and dome filling in 1 patient(s). 12; ATLAS, 14).
link] A 62 year old man with a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and carotid artery stenosis called 911 at 9:30 in the morning with complaint of chest pain. The image on the left shows the LAD before intervention, and the red circled portion on the right indicates the stented region.
Several hours later, angiogram showed: Culprit lesion mid LAD, 75% stenosis, TIMI 3, thrombotic, likely the source of the distal LAD 100% embolic occlusion, with TIMI 0 flow. The culprit mid LAD lesion was stented. It is not clear in the report whether thrombectomy was performed on the distal LAD occlusion.
LAD plaque with 0-25 percent stenosis. The LAD has moderate 40% ostial-proximal LAD stenosis and severe 90% mid LAD stenosis involving first diagonal branch. --The INTERVENTION * Successful angioplasty and stenting (drug eluting) of the mid LAD * Successful angioplasty of the ostial 1st diagonal Learning points: 1.
The patient had no hypertension, no tachycardia, a normal hemoglobin, no drug use, no hypotension/shock, no murmur of aortic stenosis. The patient had been on a long drive, suggesting possible pulmonary embolism (this was unlikely given absence of tachyardia, hypoxia, or any other feature of PE), so we sent a d dimer. [We
Late-Breaking Science sessions and concurrent oral abstract presentations are as follows: Wed., MT) TESLA: The Thrombectomy for Emergent Salvage of Large Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke Trial: 1-Year Outcome: Osama Zaidat, Mercy Health St.
No pulmonary embolism is identified. First obtuse marginal also had an 80% stenosis and was stented. While in the ED, patient's pain worsened to previous severity of 6/10 pain and improved to 3/10 on NTG drip. CT Angio Chest IMPRESSION 1. No thoracic aortic hematoma, aneurysm or dissection.
