Progression of non-target lesions (NTLs) after stenting has been reported and is associated with the triggering of an inflammatory response. The perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) may be used as a novel imaging biomarker for the direct quantification of coronary inflammation. To investigate whether FAI values can help identify changes in infl...

A Japanese man in his 20s was referred to our hospital with a two-month history of abdominal fullness and leg edema. Abdominal computed tomography revealing massive ascites and ostial blockage of the main hepatic veins, and angiographic evaluation demonstrating obstruction of the main hepatic veins yielded a diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS)....

Autoimmune vasculitides affect the cerebral vasculature significantly in a considerable number of cases. When immunosuppressive treatments fail to prevent stenosis in cerebral vessels, treatment options for affected patients become limited. In this case series, we present four cases of pharmacoresistant vasculitis with recurrent transient ischemic ...

Peripheral arterial stenoses (PAS) are commonly investigated with duplex ultrasound (DUS) and angiography, but these are not functional tests. Fractional flow reserve (FFR), a pressure based index, functionally assesses the ischaemic potential of coronary stenoses, but its utility in PAS is unknown. FFR in the peripheral vasculature in patients wit...

The role of endovascular treatment in cervical artery dissection (CAD) is equivocal. This study compared cerebral blood flow in CAD between medically and endovascularly treated patients using quantitative magnetic resonance angiography (QMRA). Retrospective chart review was completed for patients with CAD. Inclusion criteria were adults (>18 years)...

Intravenous (IV) periprocedural antiplatelet therapy (APT) for patients undergoing acute carotid stenting during mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is not fully investigated. We aimed to compare the safety profile of IV low dose cangrelor versus IV glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP-IIb/IIIa) inhibitors in patients with acute tandem lesions (TLs). We retrospectiv...

The Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery-Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (AICA-PICA) common trunk is a rare variant of cerebral posterior circulation in which a single vessel originating from either the basilar or vertebral arteries supplies both cerebellum and brainstem territories. We present the first case of an unruptured right AICA-PICA an...

Cardiovascular revascularization medicine : including molecular interventions
Stent loss in coronary arteries is a rare complication of coronary intervention. Furthermore, the entanglement of a lost stent with a second previously deployed stent leading to a very complicated scenario has not been reported previously. In this case, we are presenting the first case report of a stent loss due to the entanglement of a stent with ...

To assess the feasibility and outcome of stent strut dilation after arterial duct stenting with associated branch pulmonary artery (BPA) stenosis. Stenting of arterial duct in infants with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation is technically challenging. The presence of BPA stenosis is a relative contraindication for stent implantation. Infants with...
