Article Abstract
Background: The monitoring of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (SrO) using near-infrared spectroscopy is useful method to detect cerebral ischemia during. Sevoflurane and propofol decrease cerebral metabolic rate (CMRO) in a similar manner, but the effects on the cerebral blood flow (CBF) are different. We hypothesized that the effects of sevoflurane and propofol on SrO were different in patients with deficits of CBF. This study compared the effect of sevoflurane and propofol on SrO of patients undergoing cerebral endarterectomy (CEA).
Method: Patients undergoing CEA were randomly assigned to the sevoflurane or propofol group (n = 74). The experiment was preceded in 2 stages based on carotid artery clamping. The first stage was from induction of anaesthesia to immediately before clamping of the carotid artery, and the second stage was until the end of the operation after clamping of the carotid artery. Oxygen saturation (SrO, SpO), haemodynamic variables (blood pressure, heart rate), respiratory parameters (end-tidal carbon dioxide tension, inspired oxygen tension), concentration of anesthetics, and anesthesia depth (bispectral index score) were recorded.
Results: During stage 1 period (before carotid artery clamping), the mean value of the relative changes in SrO was higher (P = 0.033) and the maximal decrease in SrO was lower in the sevoflurane group compared with the propofol group (P = 0.019) in the contralateral (normal) site. However, there is no difference in ipsilateral site (affected site). SrO decreased after carotid artery clamping and increased after declamping, but the difference was not significant between two groups. Changes in mean arterial blood pressure was lower in sevoflurane group than propofol group after the carotid artery declamping (P = 0.048).
Conclusion: Propofol-remifentanil anesthesia was comparable with sevoflurane-remifentanil anesthesia in an aspect of preserving the SrO in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

BackgroundA stable guiding system is essential for successful carotid artery stenting (CAS), particularly when navigating tortuous aortic or supra-aortic anatomy. However, data on the mechanical behavior of stent delivery systems remain scarce.ObjectiveTo assess and compare the bending stiffness and trackability of five commercially available carotid stent delivery systems using bench-top experiments.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CGuard dual-layer stent with its mesh embolic protection system (EPS) in elective cases for treatment of internal carotid artery stenosis and compares it to the Carotid Wallstent as benchmark.
Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter study, we analyzed data from consecutive patients who underwent carotid artery stenting with CGuard at two high-volume neurointerventional centers and compared them with prior consecutive patients treated with Carotid Wallstent (CWS), with and without a balloon guiding catheter (BGC) as protection, at the same institutions. Patient demographics, procedural details, clinical complications, early in-stent thrombosis and occlusion rates, and late follow-up restenosis rates were assessed.

Department of Neuroradiology, University Hospital RWTH Aachen, Aachen, Germany.
PurposeTo evaluate the potential of Photon-Counting Detector CT Angiography (PCD-CTA) for the assessment of carotid and subclavian artery stents compared to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and Duplex ultrasound (DUS).MethodsThis study is a single-center, retrospective analysis of consecutive patients treated with a stent for high grade stenosis of the extra-cranial carotid and the subclavian artery between April 2023 and May 2024. Polyenergetic images (PE), iodine and virtual monoenergetic images were performed at different keV levels (40 and 80) and with two body vascular reconstruction kernels (Bv56 and 72) with and without iterative metal artifact reduction.

Background: Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) is a life-threatening emergency involving the rupture of the carotid arteries and/or branches, often following surgery and radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Our case series aimed to describe airway management strategies, endovascular and surgical approaches, perioperative resuscitation management, and clinical outcomes in a cohort of patients with CBS at a tertiary referral academic health center.
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients presenting with CBS between 2017 and 2021.
