Background: Previous studies indicated the effectiveness of permanent stenting when dealing with retriever-failed refractory large vascular occlusion (LVO). Variety types of stents were implanted permanently to achieve recanalization. Low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) is generally used as a supportive device for embolization of intracranial aneurysm. Its specific structural and functional characteristics contribute to its potential of treating LVO.
Cases Presentation: A 51-year-old male was transferred to our stroke center because of conscious disturbance with the weakness of the left upper limb. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was 24; the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was 10. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed that his paraclinoid segment of R-ICA was occluded due to hard clot embolization. Thrombectomy was performed 6 times, but the occlusion remained. Finally, LVIS was implanted permanently and post-dilation was performed, which successfully recanalized the artery (eTICI 2c). The post-operative NIHSS and GCS were 20 and 11, respectively, which were 10 and 14 when discharged. Another patient was a 71-year-old male who suffered weakness of left limbs. NIHSS was 15; GCS was 11. DSA confirmed that the paraclinoid segment of his R-ICA was occluded due to hard clot embolization. Totally 6 times of mechanical thrombectomy, angioplasty, and tirofiban infusion were performed, which failed to recanalize the artery. In the end, LVIS implantation with post-dilation was performed, and full recanalization was achieved (mTICI 3). The post-operative NIHSS and GCS were 9 and 15, respectively, which were 3 and 15 when discharged.
Conclusions: These 2 cases invited LVIS into the treatment of refractory occlusion due to hard clot embolization at the paraclinoid segment, and the outcomes were preferable because of the higher visibility, higher flexibility, and lower cell size of LVIS.

Selecting an appropriate microcatheter tip shape for paraclinoid aneurysms is difficult. Therefore, we devised an original simple and uniform three-dimensional (3D) spiral-shaping method of microcatheter and validated the characteristics and usefulness of this method for coil embolization of paraclinoid aneurysms using patient-specific silicone models. These silicone models were produced based on clinical data from four patients with four paraclinoid aneurysms that underwent endovascular treatment using the 3D spiral-shaping method.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the transorbital approach (TO) for accessing vascular lesions, specifically the carotid and middle cerebral arteries, using cadaveric specimens to understand its feasibility for vascular clipping.
- Dissection involved a stepwise TO method that included procedures like lateral orbital craniectomy and anterior clinoidectomy, allowing for exposure of various vascular segments and cranial nerves.
- Findings suggest that the TO approach effectively exposes key artery segments, indicating its potential use in treating paraclinoid and posterior communicating aneurysms.

Background: The plasticity of the Circle of Willis represents an underexplored yet intriguing dimension of vascular anatomy in cerebrovascular disorders. We outline distinct patterns of change in response to aneurysm treatment using flow diversion (FD) after covering major branches.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of digital subtraction angiographies from intracranial aneurysms treated with FD from 2013 to 2023.

Article Synopsis
- * During hospitalization, he developed left hemiparesis and tests revealed a significant white blood cell count increase and brain imaging showed acute strokes and an abscess related to the sinus infection affecting the internal carotid artery.
- * Treatment interventions included antibiotics and surgical drainage of the abscess, which eventually improved the condition of the stenotic artery, highlighting the importance of effectively managing sinusitis in patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome to prevent severe complications.
