Article Synopsis
  • This systematic review investigates how body composition, particularly skeletal muscle mass, impacts vascular health measures like arterial stiffness and structure.
  • Researchers conducted a thorough literature search and included 15 observational studies with over 21,000 participants, assessing various vascular health indices.
  • The findings show that higher fat-free mass correlates positively with carotid artery thickness, while body fat percentage is linked to arterial stiffness, indicating a need for further research on specific body composition factors and their health implications.

Diagnosis and treatment of pediatric arterial stenosis associated with neurofibromatosis type 1.

BMC Pediatr

January 2025

Department of Orthopedics, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, National Center for Children's Health, No.56, Nanlishi Road, Beijing, 100045, China.

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder affecting multiple systems. However, arterial stenosis is a rare manifestation in patients with NF1. Since the symptoms of arterial stenosis caused by NF1 are often atypical and have a high under-diagnosis rate, this can lead to serious complications such as hypertension, ischemic stroke, or even death.

The PERFORMANCE II Trial: A Prospective Multicenter Investigation of a Novel Carotid Stent System.

JACC Cardiovasc Interv

December 2024

Department for Angiology, Brandenburg Medical School Theodor Fontane, Campus Clinic Brandenburg, Center for Internal Medicine I, Berlin, Germany; Department of Angiology, Sankt-Gertrauden-Krankenhaus, Berlin, Germany.

Background: Several randomized clinical trials have shown that the composite endpoint of death, stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) is equivalent between carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy. However, the risk of minor stroke has been consistently higher with carotid artery stenting.

Objectives: The authors sought to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a novel carotid stent system comprised of a stent, an adjustable integrated embolic filter and a postdilation balloon, in patients at elevated risk for adverse events from carotid endarterectomy.

Intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) is a major cause of ischemic stroke, disproportionately affecting populations with significant vascular risk factors. Although ICAS imposes a considerable health burden, research on this condition in Central Asia remains scarce, especially among the Kazakh population. This study analyzes demographic characteristics, treatment outcomes, and procedural challenges associated with ICAS in 216 patients treated at a single institution.
