Background And Aims: When dealing with severely calcified lesions in endovascular therapy (EVT) for lower extremity artery disease (LEAD), navigating through severely calcified chronic total occlusion (CTO) using hard-tip guidewires can be challenging. To address this issue, we employed a novel highly intensive penetration (HIP) technique. This technique involves modifying the tail of a 0.

Background: Although guidelines have established endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) as the first-line option for patients with varicose veins (VVs) in chronic Great saphenous vein (GSV) insufficiency, however, Chronic Vein Insufficiency (CVI) remains a significant healthcare burden. Endovenous microwave ablation (EMA) is a promising alternative. This review aims to analyze the Endovenous Microwave Ablation versus Endovenous Laser Ablation for Varicose Veins in Chronic Great Saphenous Vein Insufficiency METHODS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies across PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and the Cochrane Library up to November 11, 2024 was searched.

Futile recanalization hampers prognoses for ischemic stroke patients despite successful recanalization therapy. Allegedly, hypertension and reperfusion deficits contribute, but a better understanding is needed of how they interact and mediate disease outcome. We reassessed data from spontaneously hypertensive and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (male, n = 6-7/group) that were subjected to two-hour embolic middle cerebral artery occlusion and thrombolysis in preclinical trials.

We present a case of an 86-year-old female with chronic mesenteric ischemia secondary to long-segment flush occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and near-total occlusion of the celiac artery. The superior mesenteric artery was unable to be revascularized by conventional antegrade approaches. Successful transcollateral crossing of the occluded superior mesenteric artery and body-flossing, followed by antegrade balloon angioplasty, shockwave lithotripsy, and stent implantation were performed.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare and complex form of stroke, representing a small percentage of all stroke cases. The disease's clinical presentation is highly variable, involving a wide range of medical specialists due to its diverse manifestations. Over the past decade, significant advancements in understanding CVT have been made, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent vaccination efforts.
