However rare, dissection of extracranial cerebral arteries is one of the most often causes of ischemic stroke in young people. Early diagnosis and treatment promote artery recanalization that results in total symptom regression. The proper diagnosis is in many cases is difficult. The reason is the variety of causative factors, clinical symptoms and difficulty of direct dissected vertebral arteries visualisation in common Duplex-Doppler examination. In our article we present 3 causes of vertebral arteries dissection. We would like to call your attention to consider this causative factor in differentiation diagnostics of central nervous system ischemia. This complication may occur not only due to a communication accident, but also during playing tennis and bowling.

Adverse aortic remodeling increases the risk of aorta-related adverse events (AAEs) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and affects the overall prognosis of aortic dissection (AD). It is imperative to delve into the exploration of prognostic indicators to streamline the identification of individuals at elevated risk for postoperative AAEs, and therapeutic targets to optimize the efficacy of TEVAR for patients with AD. Here, we perform proteomic and single-cell transcriptomic analyses of peripheral blood and aortic lesions, respectively, from patients with AD and healthy subjects.

Background: Veno-arterial (V-A) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is commonly used for patients with cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, or heart failure and is a life-saving technique. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) examination in patients on ECMO presents certain challenges. Due to the dual circulation characteristics of blood flow in ECMO patients, vascular imaging and interpretation can be difficult and may even present pitfalls.

Background: Acute type A aortic dissection (A-AAD) with severe acute aortic regurgitation (AR) and coronary involvement is a potentially fatal condition that causes left ventricular volume overload and catastrophic acute myocardial infarction. We present the successful management of a patient using Impella 5.5 following cardiopulmonary arrest caused by A-AAD with severe acute AR and left main trunk (LMT) obstruction.

Objective: The study aims to identify characteristics that impact the postoperative prognosis and recurrence of intracranial dissecting aneurysms (IDA) patients treated using multi-stent overlapping techniques.
Methods: Clinical data from 69 IDA patients treated with multistate-assisted spring coil embolization at the hospital between January 2017 and October 2023 were retrospectively reviewed, including clinical and imaging data gathered at admission and discharge. The prognosis was determined based on mRS grade at discharge, and the patients were divided into excellent prognosis (mRS 0-2 points) and poor prognosis (mRS 3-6 points).

Objective: Open surgical suprarenal aortic fenestration (OSSAF) is a technique to treat complicated type B aortic dissection (cTBAD) by resecting the intimal membrane at the level of the visceral arteries. This invasive procedure is largely abandoned since the advent of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) as becoming the gold standard of treating cTBAD. Identifying patterns in the late history of patients who underwent OSSAF might help better understand the evolution of TBAD.
