Chronic cerebral artery occlusion is an important cause of cerebral ischemic events. Endovascular recanalization is an effective treatment for this condition, but its success depends on appropriate patient selection and assessment. This is a retrospective study that collected patients with chronic cerebral artery occlusion who underwent endovascular recanalization to determine how imaging features from computed tomography angiography - including the extent of internal carotid artery occlusion, the number of calcified vessels, and the degree of calcification in the occluded vessels - affect the success rate of recanalization.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLemierre's syndrome (LS), otherwise known as postanginal sepsis, is a frequently overlooked condition characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV), usually caused by oropharyngeal infection. However, ear space (otogenic) infections are one of the atypical causes of LS and have been rarely reported. We present a case of a male in his 20s with a history of recurrent acute otitis media (RAOM) who presented with purulent ear discharge, fever, neck pain, and swelling for a week.

Background: Guide extension catheters are specially designed for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to enhance backup support of the guide catheter by providing coaxial alignment, thereby allowing deep intubation of the catheter. We have developed an innovative auxiliary support technique utilizing a dual guide extension catheter system, designed to enhance safety and facilitate deep coronary artery access.
Case Summary: A male in his sixties who presented with chest pain was diagnosed with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Background: Hydrodynamic contrast recanalization (HDR) is a novel technique to facilitate wire crossing during chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The mechanisms underlying HDR have not been fully described.
Aims: To investigate the impact of HDR on plaque morphology and wire tracking during CTO PCI using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging.
