Optimal Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Carotid Artery Stenting: A Nationwide Cohort Study

Stroke Journal

BACKGROUND:Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an alternative treatment for patients with carotid artery stenosis who are not eligible for carotid endarterectomy. The primary outcome was a composite of ischemic stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, and intracranial hemorrhage within 12 months of switching to single antiplatelet therapy.

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

Stroke Journal

Asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis is an important therapeutic target for stroke prevention. Since then, transfemoral/transradial carotid stenting and transcarotid artery revascularization have emerged as alternatives to endarterectomy for revascularization.

Abstract TP185: Resolute Onyx Stent for Symptomatic Intracranial Stenosis: Short and Long-Term Results (R.O.S.S.I.S. Study) With 18-month Follow-Up

Stroke Journal

Introduction:The Resolute Onyx stent has shown promise as an effective treatment for symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease (sICAD), with positive clinical outcomes and low procedural complication rates. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP185-ATP185, February 1, 2024.

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

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionVertebral artery stenting represents a viable option in treating symptomatic vertebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis. We included articles reporting patients > 18 years old with symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenoses due to atherosclerosis treated with stenting (with or without angioplasty).

Abstract 225: Rescue Stenting for Posterior Circulation Strokes

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Rescue treatment with stenting, balloon angioplasty, and/or intraarterial thrombolysis or antiplatelets are often required to treat the underlying stenosis. 4 Recent literature has reported clinical benefits associated with rescue stenting in the setting of ICAD‐related MT‐refractory strokes.5

3) Rescue stenting (RS) in these patients has shown promising rates of recanalization and better outcomes in preliminary studies. Therefore, rescue stenting can be considered as a safe and viable option in these patients. 1, 2)These patients are also more likely to experience poor functional outcomes. (3)

Abstract DP39: Short-term Outcomes of Atrial Fibrillation Patients Undergoing Carotid Stent Placement or Carotid Endarterectomy in the United States

Stroke Journal

Background:Patients with atrial fibrillation were excluded from clinical trials evaluating carotid artery stent(CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA).We We used the ICD-10 to identify patients hospitalized with diagnosis of stroke, TIA, or retinal ischemia with stenosis of carotid artery who underwent CAS or CEA.
