Objective - to increase the safety of revascularization in combined atherosclerotic occlusion of extracranial arteries, terminal aorta and the main arteries of the lower extremities in conditions of risk of reperfusion-reoxygenation syndrome. 87 patients with associated lesion of extracranial arteries and aorto-ileum-femoral segment were examined and treated surgically. In 64 patients various variants of atherosclerotic occlusion of the aorto-femoral segment were diagnosed, in 44 of which a stenotic occlusal process of the femur-popliteal segment was established. In 31 (35.6%) patients, the occlusive-stenotic process of extracranial arteries was diagnosed. In order to prevent and treat patients with a risk of developing reperfusion-reoxygenation syndrome, preoperative preparation consisted of: elimination of vasoconstriction, reduction of neutrophil activity and level of systemic inflammatory response, increase of endothelium resistance, normalization of microvascular permeability, increase in pro-oxidant-antioxidant equilibrium activity. In 25 patients, one-stage surgery was performed on the extracranial arteries and the aorta-ileum-femoral segment. At the first stage carotid endarterectomy was performed. At the second stage - the revascularization of the aorta-ileum-femoral zone. All patients underwent aorto-bifemoral (64 observations) and one-sided ileo-femoral (16 cases) alloscout. On the third day after the aortic / ileum-femoral reconstruction surgery 25 patients underwent a hip-distal reconstruction. Systemic complex prophylaxis and terminal treatment of patients at risk of developing reperfusion-reoxygenation syndrome can prevent the development of deepening of ischemia of the lower extremity, renal failure and other severe reperfusion complications.

Background: Increasing evidence shows a link between arterial calcification in the heart-brain axis and cognitive performance. However, how calcification relates to acceleration of cognitive changes, and which specific cognitive domains are mostly affected, remains unclear. We assessed the impact of calcification in major arteries between the heart and brain on cognitive decline and focused on different cognitive domains.

Introduction: The efficacy and safety of statins for secondary prevention in patients who have experienced a cardioembolic stroke are not well-defined. However, previous observational data reported hyperlipidemia as a risk factor for both ischemic and bleeding complications in patients with AF and previous stroke. Based on these premises, we conducted a sub-analysis of the RAF and RAF-NOAC studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of statins in secondary prevention in patients with acute ischemic stroke and AF.

Background: The occipital artery (OA) is an important donor artery for intracranial and extracranial bypass surgery, but its path is tortuous, making it difficult to harvest. Part of the traditional intermuscular OA is not covered by muscle and is easily damaged during surgery. Currently, there are few reports on how to protect this segment of the OA.

A 46-year-old NF1 patient with sudden visual disturbance had a thrombotic vertebral artery aneurysm causing cerebral infarction. Endovascular internal trapping was performed successfully, with complete recovery and no neurological deficits. Although this is a rare case, it suggests that endovascular therapy could be successful for vascular lesions complicated by NF1.

Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is a leading cause of stroke and contributes to recurrent stroke, especially in Asian population. Because of the different pathophysiology and mechanisms of ICAS resulting in ischemic stroke compared to extracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ECAS), treatment strategies for secondary prevention would be different.
