Two patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage underwent CT angiography and conventional angiography at presentation. In each patient, both studies were repeated after the onset of intracranial vasospasm. In both cases, CT angiograms were able to demonstrate convincingly the conventional angiographic findings. CT angiography may prove useful in the evaluation of vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Coronary calcification is a major factor leading to stent under-expansion, and subsequent adverse events. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the short and long‑term outcomes of rotational atherectomy (RA), followed by modified balloon (cutting or scoring) (MB) versus plain balloon before drug‑eluting stent implantation for calcified coronary lesions. We searched PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, and the Cochrane Library Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), from inception until 30 January 2024.

Background: Left main coronary bifurcation lesions account for 50% of left main coronary artery disease cases. Although a drug-coated balloon (DCB) has the advantages of immediate release of the drug to the arterial wall and no remaining struts, there is no conclusive evidence to support DCB use.
Methods & Results: We conducted a systematic review in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement.

Background: Both CT angiography and CT perfusion involve the administration and tracking of a contrast medium bolus for different purposes. In this study, we aim to compare the diagnostic accuracy and subjective image quality of CTP-angiographic reconstructions with conventional CTA for occlusion detection in ischemic stroke patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with a final diagnosis of ischemic stroke and who underwent both CTA and CTP from September 2020 up to and including September 2021 were included.

Background: Digital subtraction angiography (DSA), the gold standard for the diagnosis of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), can show clean nidus resection, leading to a perceived cure. Most cases of intracranial AVM recurrence have been reported in pediatric patients. The conventional understanding indicates that AVMs arise when abnormal blood vessels develop between the fourth and eighth weeks of embryonic development, which coincides with the typical period of blood vessel formation in the brain.
