Trans-cervical carotid artery stenting associated with open surgical repair of carotid artery pseudoaneurysm.

Pseudoaneurysm post carotid artery endarterectomy is uncommon but with employment of a combined technique of trans-cervical carotid artery stenting with open repair can lead to a successful outcome.

Development of an in vitro model of calcified cerebral emboli in acute ischemic stroke for mechanical thrombectomy evaluation.

: BACKGROUND: Calcified cerebral emboli (CCEs) are a rare cause of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and are frequently associated with poor outcomes. The presence of dense calcified material enables reliable identification of CCEs using non-contrast CT. However, recanalization rates with the available mechanical thrombectomy (MT) devices remain low.
