Percutaneous superficial femoral interventions remain the preferred method of treatment for superficial femoral artery (SFA) disease. Nevertheless, long term restenosis continues to be a major limitation of percutaneous interventions. In this context, the objective of this study is to compare the efficacies of CHA2DS2-VASc, CHA2DS2-VASc-HS, ATRIA, ATRIA-HSV, and HATCH risk scoring systems in predicting long-term (5 years) restenosis due to percutaneous interventions to the superficial femoral artery.

The optimal endovascular management of cervical carotid dissection causing tandem occlusion remains uncertain. We investigated the impact of emergent carotid stenting during endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients with tandem occlusion secondary to cervical carotid artery dissection. This was a secondary analysis of patients treated with EVT for AIS due to occlusive carotid artery dissection and tandem occlusion included in the retrospective international Antithrombotic Treatment for Stroke Prevention in Cervical Artery Dissection (STOP-CAD) study.
