Article Synopsis
  • Plaque protrusion (PP) can occur as a complication during the carotid artery stenting (CAS) procedure, potentially leading to ischemic strokes despite using advanced stents like the CASPER stent.
  • A case study of a 75-year-old man revealed that persistent PP caused extra-stent ulceration after CAS, ultimately resulting in a stroke that required an innovative stent-in-stent technique to address the issue.
  • This case is significant as it represents the first documented instance of persistent PP causing extra-stent ulceration, highlighting the importance of managing this complication effectively to prevent further complications.

Background: Surgical treatment of large or giant thrombosed anterior cerebral artery (ACA) aneurysms often involves revascularization. Herein, we describe a unique and effective bypass technique to treat partially thrombosed giant distal ACA aneurysms in extremely narrow surgical corridors.

Methods: A 68-year-old man underwent aneurysm trapping and ACA revascularization for a partially thrombosed giant ACA aneurysm in a surgical corridor that was narrow due to anatomic factors.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study involved 639 patients who did not develop HCC for over 7 years and 46 who did within that time; the model achieved an accuracy of 81.0% and showed effective validation results.
  • * The deep learning model could detect early signs of HCC even in patients with mild fibrosis by analyzing key pathological features, suggesting its potential for improving early diagnosis.
