Aortic endograft infection after thoracic endovascular aortic repair: two case reports and literature review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Imaging revealed the presence of an aortic abscess around the stent graft involving the esophagus and mediastinum. The patient's condition deteriorated rapidly after admission, and he ultimately succumbed to hemorrhagic shock. He came to our hospital 6 months later and presented with gastrointestinal bleeding.

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.

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 WP179: Clinical Outcomes in Acute Stroke in Patients Undergoing Emergency Intracranial Stenting Receiving IV Thrombolysis

Stroke Journal

In cases of stent-retriever thrombectomy failure, rescue stent angioplasty might be the sole option for achieving permanent recanalization. We defined two binary outcomes: (1) functional clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) and (2) early symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). 10.43, p=0.0325).Conclusions:The

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 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 WP6: Safety Outcomes of Intravenous Tenecteplase in Tandem Occlusions Undergoing Mechanical Thrombectomy With Acute Stenting

Stroke Journal

Background:Studies have demonstrated that the addition of alteplase for patients with tandem lesions who underwent mechanical thrombectomy and acute stenting was safe with improved outcomes. Primary outcomes included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and parenchymal hematoma type 2 (PH-2). of IV TNK vs 58.2% 105.7], p=0.16).
