Article Synopsis
  • The "no-touch" technique allows for safe navigation of a guiding catheter during carotid artery stenting, especially in patients with complicated arterial lesions.
  • A specially designed 4-Fr Newton-shaped catheter minimizes contact with stenotic lesions while advancing to the target area.
  • In a study of eight procedures, this technique was successful in all cases, showing it can be effective for patients with tortuous anatomy and floating thrombi without causing complications.

Coronary atherosclerotic lesions at the ostium and proximal coronary arteries pose significant challenges in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), especially in the left main coronary artery (LMCA). Guide catheter-induced damage can lead to severe complications such as vessel dissection or myocardial infarction. Ostial stent placement with drug-eluting stents offers mechanical support and reduces restenosis but is technically challenging due to the anatomical complexity of the ostium.

Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We aimed to explore neurovascular imaging patterns in patients with SARS-CoV-2-related AIS.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical and radiological data of patients hospitalized with AIS and a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 prior to AIS onset.
