Article Synopsis
- * A case study describes a 68-year-old man with symptomatic epilepsy post-cerebral infarction who had a very limited length of intact jejunum due to previous surgery.
- * The patient showed effective absorption of VPA and LEV despite his short-bowel syndrome, indicating that these medications can still be beneficial in such conditions.
Objective: We treated a patient with internal carotid artery and vertebral artery ostium in-stent restenosis (ISR) treated by cutting balloon (CB) angioplasty.
Case Presentation: A 79-year-old man developed dizziness and right homonymous upper quadrantanopia. On arrival, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed acute-stage brain infarction.
Article Synopsis
- * Patient 2 is a 59-year-old female who had two cerebral infarctions linked to chemotherapy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and later developed nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE).
- * The cases suggest a possible connection between NBTE and cerebral infarctions in cancer patients, highlighting the need for further research on treatment options for cerebral infarctions related to endocarditis, and studying the harvested emboli could help differentiate between types of endocarditis.
Objective: We report a patient with basilar artery embolism caused by vertebral artery stenosis who was successfully treated using simultaneous percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and mechanical thrombectomy.
Case Presentation: A 64-year-old male, who had undergone medical treatment for cerebellum infarction at another hospital, was referred to our hospital due to disturbance of consciousness. Angiography revealed acute occlusion of the first part of the right vertebral artery and an embolism of the top of basilar artery.
We herein report a case of direct carotid-cavernous fistula(direct CCF)in a patient with masked hypertension caused by bilateral subclavian artery stenosis. A 74-year-old woman presented with headache, right-sided proptosis, double vision, and pulsatile tinnitus since past 10 days. The patient was diagnosed with direct CCF.

We report the successful application of stent-in-stenting in 2 patients with subacute in-stent stenosis of the internal carotid arteries (ICA). The postoperative courses of both patients were uneventful, and the patency of the ICA was confirmed at the 2-year follow-up.
