Traumatic rupture of the descending aorta is an acute life-threatening event. The most common cause is deceleration trauma resulting in a sudden stretching of the aortic isthmus as for example in car and motorcycle accidents and falls from a great height. Exemplified by a case report of a multiply injured 57-year-old male the diagnostic pathways, therapy and postoperative complications are presented.

Comparison of clinical outcomes between Castor single-branched stent graft and in situ fenestration in treating Stanford type B aortic dissection involving the left subclavian artery: A retrospective case-control study.

Stanford type B aortic dissection involving the left subclavian artery (LSA) poses significant clinical challenges. The Castor single-branch stent graft and in situ fenestration are commonly used techniques, but the better endovascular treatment remains debated. This study evaluates the clinical effects of the Castor single-branched stent graft versus in situ fenestration in treating Stanford type B aortic dissection involving the LSA.

The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
This research aimed to assess the prognostic relevance of the hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR) concerning 90-day outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) managed within the early intervention window. A retrospective review was conducted on AIS patients who received pretreatment computed tomography perfusion imaging and endovascular thrombectomy due to large vessel occlusions in the anterior circulation between January 2020 and September 2022. Clinical data, including the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) from non-contrast CT, along with perfusion metrics such as ischemic core, hypoperfusion extent, core-penumbra mismatch, and HIR, were analyzed.

Adverse effects of advanced age and poor initial neurological status on outcomes of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have been documented. While a predictive model of the non-linear correlation between advanced age and clinical outcome has been reported, no previous model has been validated. Therefore, we created a prediction model of the non-linear correlation between advanced age and clinical outcome by machine learning and validated it using a separate cohort.

Background: The treatment of strokes is based on two pillars: the efficient management of acute strokes to minimize permanent neurological deficits, and secondary prevention to avoid recurrence.
Objective: To summarize current recommendations for secondary stroke prevention.
Materials And Methods: Guidelines and recent studies on the most common causes of strokes, and their treatment and prevention are reviewed.
