Today, the issues of surgical tactics remain unresolved, namely, the choice of volume and area of primary reconstruction with occlusion-stenotic lesions of extracranial arteries and aorto-iliac-femoral segment in conditions of high risk of reperfusion-reoxygenative syndrome. The aim of the study - To improve the results of surgical treatment of combined occlusion-stenotic lesions of extracranial arteries and the aorto-iliac-femoral segment in conditions of high risk of development of reperfusion-reoxygenative complications. The study included 58 patients with combined atherosclerotic lesions of extracranial arteries and aorto-iliac-femoral zone. To diagnose the nature of the lesion of the arterial bed and the features of hemodynamic disorders, ultrasound dopplerography, duplex scanning, X-ray contrast digital angiography were used. The proposed set of measures to prevent the development of reperfusion-reoxygenative complications was introduced to the system of preoperative preparation. The decision of the order of restorative operations on the brachiocephalic arteries and the aorto-iliac-femoral segment was based on the analysis of the localization of the occlusive process in both arterial basins, their hemodynamic characteristics, the degree of ischemia and the tolerance of the brain to ischemia. Due to the spread occlusion-stenotic lesion of extracranial arteries in combination with the stenotic process of the contralateral ICA in the stage of relative compensation of cerebral bloodflow in 7 patients, primarily the surgical intervention on the vessels of the neck was performed. Four to six days after the first surgical intervention, the revascularization of aorta/iliac-femoral segment was performed. In 51 patients, one-time surgical intervention was performed on extracranial arteries and aorto-iliac-femoral basin. Analyzing the results of revascularization operations, it can be argued that a differentiated approach to choosing the tactics of surgical treatment of multifocal atherosclerotic lesions of arterial basins should be used. The revascularization of both arterial basins should be carried out in stages: a reconstructive operation on the extracranial arteries is performed initially, and 4 to 6 days after the first surgical intervention, the aorta/iliac-femoral arterial zone revascularization or revascularization of both arterial basins simultaneously.

Aberrant anatomical variation of the vertebral artery (VA) from an internal carotid artery (ICA) is considered a rare finding. The incidence of this phenomenon can lead to patients suffering from posterior circulation neurological deficit if the ICA becomes significantly diseased. VA atypical anatomical origin is considered one of the rare pathologies, not only precipitating neurovascular incidents but equally leading to severe difficulty in VA dissection and surgical exposure, especially in carotid artery procedures.

background: : Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) related to underlying intracranial artery dissection (IAD) poses potential risks, including the exacerbation of intramural hematoma and the rupture of the dissected arterial wall. However, the safety of IVT in this specific population remains uncertain.
aims:: This study aimed to assess whether IAD is associated with an increased risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) following IVT and to evaluate its impact on functional outcomes.

Background: Takayasu arteritis (TA) affects medium and large caliber arteries causing stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysms. It has great predilection for the aortic arch, subclavian and extracranial arteries. The global prevalence is of 1% to 2% per million inhabitants, which varies by geographical region.

Objectives: This study evaluated an automated deep learning method for detecting calcifications in the extracranial and intracranial carotid arteries and vertebral arteries in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Additionally, a model utilizing CBCT-derived radiomics imaging biomarkers was evaluated to predict the cardiovascular diseases (CVD) of stroke and heart attack.
Methods: Models were trained using the nn-UNet architecture to identify three locations of arterial calcifications: extracranial carotid calcification (ECC), intracranial carotid calcification (ICC), and vertebral artery calcification (VAC).
