Objective: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy are relatively difficult for proximal common carotid artery (CCA) stenosis because of the difficulty in anatomical approach. We treated proximal CCA stenosis by retrograde stenting using a 9Fr Optimo for peripheral intervention with a sheathless method.
Case Presentation: A 60-year-old woman was scheduled for total arch replacement (TAR) for an aortic arch aneurysm. Preoperative cervical MRI incidentally revealed tandem stenosis in the left CCA. We intended to treat CCA stenosis prior to aortic arch replacement. Under general anesthesia, distal left CCA was exposed. A 9Fr Optimo was introduced into CCA by retrograde with a sheathless method. The retrograde CAS was performed under distal balloon protection. Her postoperative course was uneventful.
Conclusion: Retrograde stenting using a 9Fr Optimo for peripheral intervention with a sheathless method was safe and useful for proximal CCA stenosis.

A Mouse Model for Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Based on Needle-guided Asymmetric Bilateral Common Carotid Artery Stenosis.

Vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) results from vascular brain injury. Given VCID's high incidence, which is expected to continue rising as the population ages, it is critical to establish a robust animal model for the disease. This paper presents a novel method of creating a mouse model of VCID that is based on asymmetric bilateral common carotid artery stenosis, which mimics human chronic cerebral hypoperfusion caused by carotid atherosclerosis.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) cause 19 million fatalities each year and cost nations billions of dollars. Surrogate biomarkers are established methods for CVD risk stratification; however, manual inspection is costly, cumbersome, and error-prone. The contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) tools for segmentation and risk prediction, including older deep learning (DL) networks employ simple merge connections which may result in semantic loss of information and hence low in accuracy.

Background: Tandem lesions of the proximal aortic branch vessels and carotid bifurcation are uncommon. While management strategies vary, a hybrid approach of carotid endarterectomy with retrograde common carotid artery (CCA) or innominate artery (IA) stenting has become a mainstay of treatment. The purpose of this article was to provide a review of the literature, discuss alternative treatment modalities, and highlight technical considerations of the hybrid approach.

Article Synopsis
- Surgical options for treating carotid stenosis have advanced from traditional carotid endarterectomy (CEA) to include newer methods like transfemoral carotid artery stenting (tfCAS) and Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR).
- TCAR merges open surgical techniques with endovascular stenting and features a neuroprotective approach by reversing blood flow to the brain.
- A case series presented a modified TCAR procedure using a prosthetic conduit, successfully performed under local anesthesia on 10 patients at high cardiac risk who were unsuitable for standard TCAR.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between residual stenosis (RS) and negative hemodynamic factors after carotid artery stenting (CAS), analyzing how these factors contribute to postoperative complications.
- It involves 46 patient-specific models divided into normal and RS groups to compare geometric features and hemodynamic parameters, highlighting the impact of RS on conditions like reflux flow and shear stress.
- Findings indicate that characteristics of RS, such as its distal slope and tortuosity, significantly worsen the hemodynamic environment, suggesting tailored stent strategies based on local lesion characteristics for better outcomes.
