AI Article Synopsis
- The study showcases how cerebral perfusion CT scans can be utilized to assess the success of stent placement in the internal carotid artery.
- The patient experienced transient ischemic attacks due to narrowed arteries in both the internal carotid and middle cerebral arteries.
- The findings highlight an innovative approach to understanding treatment outcomes in patients with complex vascular issues.
Article Abstract
The authors describe the novel use of cerebral perfusion computerized tomography studies to evaluate the effectiveness of internal carotid artery stent placement in a man with symptomatic transient ischemic attacks caused by tandem stenoses of the internal carotid and middle cerebral arteries.

The History, ECG, Age, Risk Factors, and Troponin (HEART) score is a risk stratification tool often used to determine the disposition of chest pain patients. This study evaluates the association of age, gender, HEART score, diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), hypercholesterolemia, family history (Fam Hx), and tobacco use with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and hospital readmission.

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) may serve as an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study investigates regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) alterations in individuals with SCD using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). To characterize rCBF patterns in SCD patients compared to healthy controls and examine the relationship between rCBF and cognitive function.

Cavernous carotid aneurysms are typically small, asymptomatic, and often do not require treatment. We present the case of a 59-year-old woman, a 3-pack-a-day smoker, who presented with the primary complaint of left retro-orbital pain, left complete ophthalmoplegia, left-sided blindness, and right abducens palsy. Imaging revealed a giant right cavernous carotid aneurysm, which had expanded to the contralateral cavernous sinus wall and superiorly through the diaphragm sellae.
