The article deals with the first clinical experience in radiologically-guided prosthetics after laser recanalization of occluded vessels of the lower limbs in 20 patients. The method was introduced into clinical practice after applying separately the methods of radiologically-guided endovascular prosthetics and laser recanalization with subsequent dilatation and experimental substantiation on dogs with artificially created chronic occlusions of the femoral artery. The first results are promising, although the true place of the method in sparing treatment of vessels will be ascertained after rich clinical experience is accumulated and the late-term results studied.

Background: Despite advances in reperfusion therapies, ischemic stroke remains a major cause of long-term disability due to residual hypoxic lesions persisting after macrovascular reperfusion. These residual hypoxic lesions, caused by microvascular dysfunction, represent an important therapeutic target. We previously demonstrated that oxygen-glucose-deprived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (OGD-PBMCs) migrate to ischemic brain regions and promote functional recovery after stroke.

Background: Ischemic stroke is a common cause of death worldwide and a main cause of morbidity. Presently, laser speckle contrast imaging, x-ray computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are the mainstay for stroke diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring in preclinical studies. These modalities are often limited in terms of their ability to map brain perfusion with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution, thus calling for development of new brain perfusion techniques featuring rapid imaging speed, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects more than 230 million adults worldwide. Revascularization via angioplasty is a common method to manage stenosis in the superficial femoral artery (SFA). In-stent restenosis, however, is a common complication in endovascular interventions, especially in the SFA.

Background And Purpose: Posterior circulation strokes, accounting for 20% of acute ischemic strokes, significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality. Fibrinolysis by rtPA improves outcomes in stroke but the risk of intracranial hemorrhage limits benefit. Arterial recanalization of basilar artery occlusion by thrombolysis or endovascular thrombectomy improves outcomes in posterior circulation strokes.

Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed 194 patients treated for ruptured intracranial aneurysms, finding that 29.4% experienced complications during hospitalization, with an overall mortality rate of 11.9%.
- - After a median follow-up of nearly 46.5 months, 81.4% of patients had favorable outcomes, while 18.5% had unfavorable results, leading to 1-year and 5-year survival rates of 89.5% and 85.4%, respectively.
- - Key risk factors for complications included involvement of the basilar artery and use of external ventricular drainage; for unfavorable outcomes, advanced age and poor initial health status were significant predictors.
