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 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

Abstract 043: Intra?cranial Rescue stenting in patients with incomplete perfusion following mechanical thrombectomy;a systemic review and meta?analysis.

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

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 213: Successful Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Stroke With Pre?interventional Thrombolysis?Induced Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Case Report

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a main complication of IVT, with prevalence reported around 3.2% CT angiography (CTA) showed near occlusive stenosis of the left carotid bulb with an acute thrombus within Supraclinoid Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) extending into the Left MCA and origin of Left Anterior Cerebral Artery (ACA).

Abstract TP178: Investigation of Computed Tomography Perfusion Imaging in Predicting Hyperperfusion Phenomenon After Carotid Artery Stenting

Stroke Journal

Background:Hyperperfusion phenomenon (HPP) constitutes a significant risk factor for adverse outcomes following carotid artery stenting (CAS). Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP178-ATP178, February 1, 2025. Currently, the sole method for evaluating the risk of HPP post-CAS is the invasive acetazolamide (ACZ) challenge test.
