Background And Purpose: Leptomeningeal collaterals have been associated with better outcomes in large-vessel stroke, but little is known about how the Circle of Willis (CoW) collaterals affect stroke outcomes. We aimed to determine the relationship between three anatomically distinct CoW subtypes and 90-day outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients after successful revascularization via endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients treated with successful EVT for large-vessel occlusion at a comprehensive stroke center between May 2016 and November 2023.

A primary challenge following severe musculoskeletal trauma is incomplete muscle regeneration. Current therapies often fail to heal damaged muscle due to dysregulated healing programs and insufficient revascularization early in the repair process. There is a limited understanding of the temporal changes that occur during the early stages of muscle remodeling in response to engineered therapies.

Background: Elective unprotected left main (ULM) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has long-term mortality rates comparable to surgical revascularization, thanks to advances in drug-eluting stent (DES) design, improved PCI techniques, and frequent use of intravascular imaging. However, urgent PCI of ULM culprit lesions remains associated with high in-hospital mortality and unfavourable long-term outcomes, including DES restenosis and stent thrombosis (ST). This analysis aimed to examine the long-term outcomes and healing of DES implanted in ULM during primary PCI using high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.

Background: Multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) represents a common finding at invasive coronary angiography (ICA) among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors. However, optimal invasive treatment strategy for MVD in OHCA remains unknown. Our study aims to assess if complete revascularization improves one-year clinical outcomes in these patients.

Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting is Overutilized.

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), developed to avoid the potential complications of cardiopulmonary bypass, remains a subject of debate. Studies have demonstrated that off-pump CABG is associated with higher rates of incomplete revascularization, inferior graft patency, and increased reintervention rates compared to on-pump CABG, leading to worse outcomes. The theoretical neuroprotective and renal-protective benefits associated with off-pump CABG have not been definitively proven, with stroke and renal failure rates similar to those of on-pump CABG in both short- and long-term follow-up.
