Double Crush of L5 Spinal Nerve Root due to L4/5 Lateral Recess Stenosis and Bony Spur Formation of Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebra Pseudoarticulation: A Case Report and Review.

We present a case of double-crushed L5 nerve root symptoms caused by inside and outside of the spinal canal with spur formation of the lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV). A 78-year-old man presented with 7-year history of moderate paresis of his toe and left leg pain when walking. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed spinal stenosis at the L3/4 and 4/5 spinal levels and he underwent wide fenestration of both levels.

[Case of symptomatic subacute in-stent thrombosis after carotid angioplasty and stenting for severe carotid stenosis].

We report a case of symptomatic subacute in-stent thrombosis after carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS). The patient was a 72-year-old man who had severe asymptomatic right carotid artery stenosis. He received CAS with distal protection, and gained 100% opening of the right carotid artery.
