Dural venous sinus thrombosis (DVST) is a rare cause of stroke, which typically affects young women. The importance of identifying pre-disposing factors that lead to venous stasis lies in the foundation of understanding the etiology, pathophysiology and clinical presentation. The precise therapeutic role of interventional therapies is not fully understood though the current data do suggest pote...

An 89-year-old man presented with two separate minor stroke episodes due to high grade bilateral carotid stenoses, which were successfully treated with endovascular angioplasty and stenting. The role of operative interventions for high grade symptomatic carotid stenosis in patients aged over 80 years is discussed.

The management of mycotic aneurysm has always been subject to controversy. The aim of this paper is to review the literature on the intracranial infected aneurysm from pathogenesis till management while focusing mainly on the endovascular interventions. This novel solution seems to provide additional benefits and long-term favorable outcomes.

Major advances in cardiovascular intervention for chronic disease are underway. These innovations lie at the interface of minimally invasive catheter-based technologies and biologic approaches for the management of complex cardiovascular diseases. This review highlights key areas where such 'biointerventional' cardiovascular therapies are envisioned to occur: cardiac cell transplantation, myoca...

acute aortic dissection (aad) is the most frequent catastrophic event of the aorta; it occurs nearly three times as frequently as the rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm . sixty percent of dissection cases are classified as proximal or type a and 40% as distal or type b, according to the stanford classification. the most frequent causes of death in acute type b dissection are aortic rupture an...

To assess trends in thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) hospital admissions, interventions, and related mortality (ARM) England, examine the impact of endovascular repair on for years 1998 to 2020. Hospital admission operative approach (thoracic repair, [TEVAR] or open surgical repair) using Episodes Statistics, ARM data from Office National Statistics England standardised 2013 European Standard Pop...

the results of two key clinical trials assessing the clinical efficacy of endovascular management in acute ischemic stroke were presented at the annual meeting of the International Stroke Conference (ISC) in Honolulu. The trials, SYNTHESIS expansion and IMS-III, had received great attention from many neurologists and neurointerventionalists, as they were multicenter, randomized, controlled tria...

BACKGROUND Conservative management of acute type B aortic dissection is currently being challenged by primary thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Aim was to assess outcome and quality of life after these different approaches using an adjusted standard population as benchmark. PATIENTS AND METHODS Observational study of a prospectively collected (January 2000 to December 2005) consecutive ser...

Objective: The present study was conceived to analyze the clinical benefit of hybrid interventions with surgical common femoral artery (CFA) reconstruction coupled to superficial femoral/popliteal endovascular recanalization for severe infrainguinal multilevel occlusive disease in high-risk ASA Class 3 4 patients. Material and Methods: From August 2008 until May 2015, a series of 143 hybrid inf...
