: In patients with vertebral artery origin (VAO) stenosis and concomitant stenoses of other cerebral feeding arteries, data on the risk of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) alone and with stent placement (PTAS) for VAO stenosis are limited. We aimed to determine how the presence of polystenotic lesions in other cerebral feeding arteries and concomitant carotid artery stenting (CAS) affect the periprocedural risk and long-term effect of PTA/S for atherosclerotic VAO stenosis. : In a retrospective descriptive study, consecutive patients treated with PTA/S for ≥70% VAO stenosis were divided into groups with isolated VAO stenosis and multiple stenoses. We investigated the rate of periprocedural complications in the first 72 h and the risk of restenosis and ischemic stroke (IS)/transient ischemic attack (TIA) during the follow-up period. : In a set of 66 patients aged 66.1 ± 9.1 years, polystenotic lesions were present in 56 (84.8%) patients. 21 (31.8%) patients underwent endovascular treatment for stenosis of one or more other arteries in addition to VAO stenosis (15 underwent CAS). During the periprocedural period, no patient suffered from an IS or died, and, in the polystenotic group with concomitant CAS, there was one case of TIA (1.6%). During a mean follow-up period of 36 months, we identified 8 cases (16.3%) of ≥50% asymptomatic VA restenosis, and, in the polystenotic group, 4 (8.9%) cases of IS. : The presence of severe polystenotic lesions or concomitant CAS had no adverse effect on the overall low periprocedural risk of PTA/S of VAO stenosis or the risk of restenosis during the follow-up period.

Comprehensive Analysis of Neurologic Complications Following Transradial Cerebral Angiography.
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol
December 2024
From the Department of Neurosurgery, Bucheon St. Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background And Purpose: Transradial access (TRA) for cerebral angiography has become more popular due to fewer complications and greater patient comfort compared to transfemoral access. However, the frequency and nature of neurologic complications linked to TRA remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the incidence of symptomatic neurologic complications after transradial cerebral angiography, identify risk factors, and characterize clinical and imaging features of these complications.

Article Synopsis
- Congenital agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare condition, often asymptomatic, but it can occasionally lead to ischemic stroke, a situation that is even rarer.
- An 80-year-old male experienced sudden speech difficulties and weakness in his left limbs, prompting a hospital visit where he was diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke in the right side of his brain.
- After treatment and further examination, it was confirmed that he had congenital agenesis of the right ICA, and significant stenosis in the right vertebral artery may have contributed to his stroke, highlighting an unusual cause of infarction in the brain's anterior circulation.

Methods: Between January 2016 and October 2018, sixty-four consecutive patients who underwent a total of 66 stenting procedures were screened for symptomatic and asymptomatic atherosclerotic VAOS. Of these patients, 57 had complete follow-up data. The baseline patient demographics and morphological features of the VAO were recorded.

Background: Ischemic stroke is the second leading cause of death in North Macedonia. Posterior circulation disease, caused by vertebral artery (VA) ostium (VAo) stenosis, is a common cause of ischemic stroke. We established a treatment approach using surgical revascularization of posterior circulation disease.
