Importance of cerebral angiography in the evaluation of delayed carotid stent thrombosis: a case report.

Background: While noninvasive imaging is typically used during the initial assessment of carotid artery disease, digital subtraction angiography remains the gold standard for evaluating carotid stent thrombosis and stenosis (Krawisz in Cardiol Clin 39:539-549, 2021). This case highlights the importance of digital subtraction angiography for assessing carotid artery stent patency in place of non-invasive imaging.

Case Presentation: We present a 61-year-old African American male patient with a history of right cervical internal carotid artery dissection that was treated with carotid artery stenting and endovascular thrombectomy, who developed recurrent right hemispheric infarcts related to delayed carotid stent thrombosis.

Scoping Review of Racial, Ethnic, and Sex Disparities in the Diagnosis and Management of Hemorrhagic Stroke.

Background And Objectives: In the United States, Black, Hispanic, and Asian Americans experience excessively high incidence rates of hemorrhagic stroke compared with White Americans. Women experience higher rates of subarachnoid hemorrhage than men. Previous reviews detailing racial, ethnic, and sex disparities in stroke have focused on ischemic stroke.

Historical Redlining, Social Determinants of Health, and Stroke Prevalence in Communities in New York City.

Importance: Historical redlining was a discriminatory housing policy that placed financial services beyond the reach of residents in inner-city communities. The extent of the impact of this discriminatory policy on contemporary health outcomes remains to be elucidated.

Objective: To evaluate the associations among historical redlining, social determinants of health (SDOH), and contemporary community-level stroke prevalence in New York City.
