Introduction This case report illustrates the complexities of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and its thromboembolic complications resulting in top-of-basilar artery syndrome. We discuss the case of a 37-year-old male with ARVC who presented with acute onset of dizziness, imbalance, and vomiting, leading to the diagnosis of a top-of-basilar artery occlusion which was successfully treated. Case presentation This case highlights the diagnostic and acute treatment challenges in basilar artery occlusion (BAO) due to its non-specific symptoms and emphasizes the critical role of CT angiography in detecting occlusive thrombi for timely intervention.

: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a life-threatening cerebrovascular condition that triggers a robust inflammatory response and cerebral vasospasm. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of anakinra, an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, and tocilizumab, an interleukin-6 receptor antagonist, on inflammation and vasospasm in an experimental rat SAH model. : Forty male Sprague Dawley rats (200-250 g) were randomly assigned to five groups: control, SAH, SAH + anakinra (ANA), SAH + tocilizumab (TCZ), and SAH + anakinra + tocilizumab (ANA+TCZ).

We present a case of an adult patient with a large symptomatic fusiform basilar artery aneurysm. This video demonstrates the ease of deploying the new Pipeline™ Vantage Flow Diverter compared to the Flex model in the same vessel. The Flex and Vantage have different deployment techniques-as using the Flex maneuvering technique on the Vantage may damage the braid.

Background: To evaluate the prognostic effect of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute base artery occlusion (ABAO) within 24 h of onset, and analyze the factors related to prognosis.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on all ABAO patients who received EVT within 24 h of onset in the neurology department of Baotou Central Hospital in Inner Mongolia from May 2016 to October 2022. Good prognosis was defined as a Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-3 and poor prognosis mRS score of 4-6 at 90 day follow-up, and factors related to prognosis were analyzed.
Peritherapeutic intra-arterial flow changes predict long-term stent patency in patients with severe intracranial artery stenosis receiving PTAS.

Background And Purpose: The quantitative intra-arterial flow dynamics following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS) for severe intracranial artery stenosis have never been investigated. We aimed to evaluate peritherapeutic intracranial artery flow dynamics following PTAS with quantitative magnetic resonance angiography (qMRA) to predict long-term stent patency.
Design: This is a prospective, single-center study.
