Background: Stroke is a common disease that poses a significant threat to human health. Approximately one-third of stroke patients experience poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), which severely impacts their quality of life and survival time. Although the prevalence and risk factors for PSCI have been widely reported, these results have not been synthesized.

Background: Carotid webs are a potential cause of ischemic stroke, particularly in younger patients with few traditional risk factors. Despite advances in imaging technology, the management of carotid webs remains poorly defined due to its rarity, absence of evidence-based guidelines, and the unique challenges presented by these lesions. This narrative review evaluates current knowledge on carotid web management, emphasizing diagnostic features, pathophysiological considerations, and treatment strategies.

Introduction: With the world population growing and aging, nonagenarians have become a distinct patient cohort with specific characteristics that render the prediction of outcomes essential. We aimed to investigate the specific characteristics of this patient's cohort in a tertiary vascular center.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted for all consecutive patients 90 years and above referred or treated in the Department of Vascular Surgery between January 2017 and December 2022 for vascular pathologies.

Objectives: The role of ultrasonography for evaluating vessel wall inflammation in Takayasu's arteritis (TAK) is well-recognised; however, an effective approach for the quantitative assessment of disease activity remains lacking. This study aimed to develop a novel ultrasound-based score for determining TAK activity.
Methods: TAK patients with carotid artery involvement were prospectively followed-up for 6 months.

Background: Current practice guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet therapy for at least 30 days postoperatively after transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) to promote stent patency. However, many patients are already taking other antithrombotic medications. The optimal pharmacologic regimen in this patient population remains unclear, especially as it pertains to postoperative bleeding complications.
