Introduction: Spontaneous dissection of cervical arteries is one of the major causes of stroke in young patients. The recommended treatment is curative anticoagulation. However, in selected cases, this treatment could fail or meet contraindications. In such cases, an endovascular stent-assisted angioplasty could be successful.
Case Report: We report the case of a 47-year-old patient with spontaneous dissection of the carotid and vertebral arteries. Despite optimized anticoagulant therapy, cerebral perfusion was low. An endovascular stent-assisted angioplasty was performed in the intra- and extracranial segments of the right internal carotid artery. Consequently by improving the intracranial circulation, normal functioning was restored with no immediate complications and the patient remained free of complications at 16-month follow-up.
Conclusion: Dissections of cervical arteries that lead to a chronic reduction in brain perfusion might benefit from endovascular stent-assisted angioplasty.

Aim This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) check and revision procedures performed in a freestanding interventional radiology (IR) outpatient facility. Methodology A total of 40 patients (male 31:female 9, median age 60 years old) underwent a TIPS check and/or revision at a freestanding IR outpatient facility between 2009 and 2017. Procedures were performed using a mobile C-arm unit under intravenous (IV) moderate sedation, with the patient discharged home on the same day.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report 2-year outcomes of interwoven nitinol (Supera) stent-assisted arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation in patients who presented with non-matured AVF.
Methods: We reviewed the clinical data of 20 patients who presented with non-matured AVF (19 patients with brachiocephalic AVF and 1 patient with radiocephalic AVF) and underwent balloon angioplasty followed by Supera stenting in the cephalic vein for long-term hemodialysis between January 2017 and January 2022. The outcomes were evaluated in these patients in terms of technical success, post-intervention complications, reintervention, and cumulative patency (6 months, 1 year, and 2 years).

Background: To quantify the volumetric aortic remodeling of patients with acute type B aortic dissection treated with the stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination (STABILISE) technique.
Methods: All patients with acute type B aortic dissection operated with the STABILISE technique between 2014 and 2017 with preoperative, postoperative, and >12 months (follow-up) computed tomography scans were included in this study. True lumen and total aortic volume were accurately assessed in the thoracic and abdominal portions with a semiautomatic three-dimensional tool.

Intracranial aneurysm is common in stroke and, once rupturing, will cause disaster to patients. Nowadays, endovascular treatment has become a routine to reduce the risk of intracranial aneurysms rupture. Successive endovascular methods, like balloon-assisted coiling, stent-assisted coiling, and flow diversion, have become new choices for doctors.
