Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to verify the value of arterial spin labeling (ASL) collateral perfusion estimation for predicting functional outcomes in acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke.
Methods: This secondary analysis of an ongoing prospective observational study included data from participants with acute ischemic stroke due to steno-occlusion of the internal carotid artery and/or the middle cerebral artery within 8 h of symptom onset. We compared the collateral map, which is a 5-phase collateral imaging derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography, and ASL to validate the ASL collateral perfusion estimation. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify independent predictors of favorable functional outcomes.
Results: One hundred forty-eight participants (68 ± 13 years, 96 men) were evaluated. The ASL collateral perfusion grade was positively correlated with the collateral perfusion grade of the collateral map (P < .001). Younger age (OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.36-0.78, P = .002), lower baseline NIHSS score (OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.78-0.92, P < .001), intermediate ASL collateral perfusion grade (OR = 4.02, 95% CI = 1.43-11.26, P = .008), good ASL collateral perfusion grade (OR = 26.37, 95% CI = 1.06-655.01, P = .046), and successful reperfusion (OR = 5.84, 95% CI = 2.08-16.42, P < .001) were independently associated with favorable functional outcomes.
Conclusion: ASL collateral perfusion estimation provides prognostic information, which can be helpful in guiding management decisions.

CT angiography (CTA) of the aortoiliofemoral (AIF) arteries in the abdomen, pelvis, and lower extremities has become an invaluable tool in assessment of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and lower extremity trauma. AIF CTA provides rapid and comprehensive assessment of arterial inflow and outflow, guiding management of patients with chronic claudication and those with more acute manifestations, including atherothrombotic occlusion, embolic disease, or thrombosis of prior interventions such as bypass graft or stent placement. Careful attention to technique is critical in performing diagnostic AIF CTA, as pitfalls related to imaging too early or too late relative to the arrival of contrast material in the legs can lead to misdiagnosis or diagnostic uncertainty.

The role of different imaging modalities-non-contrast CT (NCCT), CT perfusion (CTP), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)-in selecting patients with large-core stroke for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a subject of ongoing debate. This study aims to determine whether patients with large-core acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing EVT triaged with CTP or DWI in addition to NCCT had different clinical outcomes compared to those only triaged with NCCT. We queried the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR) for patients enrolled between 2014 and 2023 who presented with anterior-circulation AIS and large ischemic core (ASPECTS < 6) who underwent EVT in 41 stroke centers in the USA, Europe, Asia, and South America.

Introduction: Celiac trunk dissection is an extremely rare vascular injury in the setting of blunt abdominal trauma, accounting for less than 0.01 % of all trauma cases. Despite its rarity, this condition carries significant clinical relevance due to the celiac artery's role in perfusing vital upper abdominal organs.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that has lifelong deleterious effects, including increased risk of stroke postpartum (PP). Here we determined if previous PE exacerbates ischemic injury in the PP period and investigated underlying mechanisms including oxidative stress and collateral perfusion.
Methods: Female Sprague-Dawley rats were studied at 4-9 months PP, after either a normal pregnancy (NormP-PP = 7) or experimental PE (ePE) induced via high cholesterol diet during gestation (ePE-PP = 9).
