The present study focuses on the use of imaging methods for diagnosing aneurysms of the abdominal aorta. We performed ultrasound tomography, computed tomography and digital subtraction angiography in 42 patients (17 men, 45 women, aged 25 to 64 years) with clinically suspected aneurysm of the abdominal aorta. The results obtained are discussed determining the proper sequence in using these imaging methods in the overall diagnostic approach. The high percentage of true positive results (100%) achieved in digital subtraction angiography makes it the leading diagnostic method. It is recommended that ultrasound and computed tomography examinations should precede the digital subtraction angiography.

Evaluation of in-stent restenosis after carotid artery stenting with superb microvascular imaging: initial findings.

Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an interventional management in preventing ischemic stroke caused by carotid artery stenosis. After the treatment with CAS, in-stent restenosis caused by neointimal hyperplasia may develop.
Purpose: This study aims to obtain a better determination of neointimal hyperplasia using superb microvascular imaging (SMI), which provides a high-quality visualization of the endoluminal lesions, and to compare these results with B-mode and Doppler ultrasound (US).

Introduction: In the past decade, flow diverters (FDs) have increasingly been used to treat cerebral aneurysms with unfavorable morphology in which other endovascular techniques fall short of being as effective. In-stent stenosis (ISS) is one of the most puzzling and frequent risks of flow diversion therapy observed on follow-ups. This complication, although mostly placid in its clinical course, can have dire consequences if patients become symptomatic.

Objective: Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EVMT) is widely employed in patients with acute intracranial carotid artery occlusion (AIICAO). This study aimed to predict the outcomes of EVMT following AIICAO by utilizing anatomic classification of the circle of Willis and its relative position to the thrombus.
Methods: In this study, we retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 108 patients with AIICAO who underwent endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EVMT) at Shaoxing People's Hospital.

Purpose: Anatomical variations in the anterior choroidal artery (AChA) and/or the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) are rare. Hyperplastic AChA is an anatomical variant supplying both the AChA area and the PCA area. In accessory PCA, a hyperplastic AChA supplies part of the PCA territory.

Acute ischemic stroke, a medical emergency caused by reduced cerebral blood flow, results in brain cell damage. While commonly associated with older individuals, strokes can also occur in young and middle-aged adults, posing significant socio-economic and health challenges due to the long-term impact of the condition. This poses significant socio-economic and health challenges because stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality.
