Letter regarding article by Wang et al, "coronary artery spatial distribution of acute myocardial infarction occlusions".
BACKGROUND Acute coronary occlusions leading to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMIs) are due primarily to rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. Present "vulnerable plaque" detection technology focuses on identifying individual plaques with no clear therapeutic plan beyond conventional risk factor reduction. We developed a spatial map of the distribution of acute coronary occlusion...
متن کاملDementia associated with bilateral carotid occlusions: neuropsychological and haemodynamic course after extracranial to intracranial bypass surgery.
A 55 year old man with bilateral internal carotid and unilateral vertebral artery occlusions presented subacutely with profound behavioural and cognitive changes featuring frontal lobe deficits. Neuropsychological testing showed severe cognitive impairment compatible with dementia. Anatomical imaging showed only a small right superior frontal infarction. Cerebral blood flow was severely reduced...
متن کاملMultiple profressive intracranial arterial occlusions.
Multiple Progressive Intracranial A rterial Occlusions • A 30-year-old woman experienced a series of strokes over a period of three months. Radiographical studies showed evidence of occlusive disease of the cerebral arteries and a rich collateral circulation typical of multiple progressive intracranial arterial occlusive disease. At autopsy, the involved cerebral arteries showed marked fibrosis...
متن کاملIntracranial balloon angioplasty of acute terminal internal carotid artery occlusions.
Acute embolic occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid bifurcation is associated with a poor prognosis. Recanalization rates of this lesion with intravenous or intraarterial thrombolysis are exceedingly low. We describe the use of balloon angioplasty after failed thrombolysis to achieve immediate recanalization of acute carotid T occlusions in two patients. At 1-month follow-up, both pati...
متن کاملOcclusio supra occlusionem: intracranial occlusions following carotid thrombosis as diagnosed by cerebral angiography.
Occlusio Supra Occlusionem: Intracranial Occlusions Following Carotid Thrombosis as Diagnosed by Cerebral Angiography • Collateral circulation between internal and external carotid arteries was sufficient to thoroughly opacify the middle cerebral artery on cerebral angiography in 11 of 100 patients with internal carotid occlusion. In four of the 11, the branches of the middle cerebral were inta...
