Benefits of Intense Antithrombotic Therapy in Lower Extremity Artery Disease

Patients with chronic lower extremity artery disease treated with a more vs less intensive antithrombotic therapeutic regimen were found to be at lower risk for limb amputation, stroke, and revascularization.

Predictive Factors and Outcomes of Late Cerebrovascular Events Post TAVR

Researchers explored the incidence, clinical characteristics, associated factors, and clinical outcomes of late cerebrovascular events >30- days after TAVR.

Predictors of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Transient Ischemic Attack

Patients with transient ischemic attack with high brain natriuretic peptide values are more likely to have atrial fibrillation.

Use of Double Layer Stent With Proximal Cerebral Protection in CAS Offers Best Outcome

Carotid artery stenting performed with the double-layer Roadsaver stent and proximal protection using the Mo.Ma Ultra device was found to be associated withthe best outcomes, in terms of microembolic signals, in high-risk patients with lipid-rich plaques.

Length of Blood Flow Reversal During TCAR May Not Affect Procedure Outcomes

The duration of carotid blood flow reversal during transcarotid artery revascularization for carotid bifurcation stenosis was not found to affect the rate of stroke, myocardial infarction, or death.

Supratentorial Intracererbal Hemorrhage Outcomes Better in Young Individuals of Black, Hispanic Ethnicity

For young adults with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), functional outcomes are improved with black and Hispanic versus white race/ethnicity.

Is There a Role for Endovascular Therapy in Managing Vertebrobasilar Artery Occlusion?

Researchers conducted a trial to assess the effect of contemporary endovascular therapy in the treatment of acute vertebrobasilar occlusion.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea May Predict Poor Outcomes in Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms

Obstructive sleep apnea may represent a significant predictor of unfavorable outcomes in ruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Aspirin May Slow Growth of Multiple Intracranial Aneurysms

Aspirin is associated with a reduced rate of aneurysm growth for patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms.

Insufficient Cerebral Venous Drainage May Identify ICH Patients at Risk for Perihematomal Edema Expansion

Insufficient cerebral venous drainage in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage is strongly associated with large relative perihematomal edema volume at 24 hours after the acute event.
