Background: Spontaneous cervical internal carotid artery dissection (cICAD) is a common cause of stroke in young adults. Endovascular therapy is an indispensable treatment for cICAD in some cases, but it faces great challenges.

Case Presentation: A bilateral spontaneous cICADs with hypoperfusion-related AIS after 72 h from the onset was presented herein. The patient responded well to primary Solitaire stent detachment at the critical flow-limiting site.

Conclusions: Primary stent implantation at the critical flow-limiting site rather than covering the entire dissection may be a therapeutic option in spontaneous cICAD complicated with cerebral hypoperfusion. The Solitaire stent may be a good choice at the acute and subacute stages of cICAD.

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized bulge of the abdominal aorta, which mainly manifests as a pulsatile mass in the abdomen. Once an abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptures, the patient's life is seriously endangered. Surgery is the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Esophageal stricture is the most common and disabling complication of esophageal injury caused by ingestion of corrosive substances. In our case, the patient developed esophageal stenosis due to ingestion of strong alkaline substances and underwent colon replacement surgery after repeated failed dilation treatments. After surgery, anastomotic stenosis and tracheocolonic fistula occurred successively, and the entire diagnosis and treatment cycle of this disease lasted for more than 20 years.

Background And Objectives: Traditional manual percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) exposes operators to significant radiation and physical stress. The recently developed Advanced Vascular Intervention Assist Robot (AVIAR) 2.0 system in South Korea aimed to overcome these issues by evaluating its safety and feasibility in a clinical setting.

Long-term outcomes of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass vs second generation drug eluting stent for management of isolated left anterior descending artery disease.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes in a propensity matched population receiving either minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) using left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) or percutaneous coronary intervention using second generation everolismus-eluting stents (DES-PCI) in patients treated for isolated proximal LAD stenosis.

Methods: Between January 2012 and December 2017, 421 patients with a nonemergency status undergoing primary isolated proximal LAD revascularization were retrospectively analyzed and were divided into two groups: 111 patients receiving MIDCAB LITA to LAD and 310 patients receiving DES-PCI. Propensity score matching selected 111 pairs and both groups were comparable for all baseline characteristics and well balanced.

Objective: Limitations are sometimes encountered in the application of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to the treatment of acute cholecystitis. Endoscopic gallbladder stenting (EGBS) has emerged as an additional option. However, the long-term stent patency remains an issue.
