Article Abstract
A 31-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) had undergone resection of a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) on the buttock 3 months previously. He subsequently underwent mechanical thrombectomy for a hyperacute left middle cerebral artery embolism. Histopathologically, the emboli comprised neurofilament-positive pleomorphic tumor cells with geographic necrosis and conspicuous mitosis and were identified as MPNST. The patient died of respiratory failure due to lung MPNST metastasis on day 15 of hospitalization. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a spontaneous cerebral embolism due to MPNST in an NF-1 patient.

Cerebral infarction is a rare but serious complication after pulmonary resection for lung cancer. A 78-year-old man with hypertension and diabetes underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic right middle lobectomy for stage IA2 adenocarcinoma. On postoperative day 1, he developed acute right hemiparesis and motor aphasia.

Deciphering the source of an embolism is a common challenge encountered in stroke treatment. Carotid stenosis is a key source of embolic strokes. Carotid interventions can be indicated when a patient has greater than 50% stenosis in the carotid ipsilateral to the cerebral infarction, which is designated as the symptomatic carotid.

Large vessel occlusion (LVO)-induced acute ischemic stroke (AIS) manifests with abrupt onset and critical severity, primarily caused by cerebral artery atherosclerosis or cardiogenic embolism leading to luminal stenosis or occlusion. The authors report a case of acute massive cerebral infarction caused by occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) and missed the time window for thrombolysis, in which spontaneous recanalization of the MCA was achieved after 1 week of conservative treatment. After 2 months of rehabilitation training, neurological functions and other symptoms significantly improved.

The accessory middle cerebral artery (AMCA) refers to the cerebral vascular variation originating from the anterior cerebral artery, passing through the lateral fissure and accompanying the middle cerebral artery (MCA), and participating in the blood supply area of the MCA. Relevant literature reports that the incidence of this variant vessel is 0.3%-2.

Background: Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) improves haemodynamics in patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Previous studies on BPA have set the treatment objective to achieve a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) of <30 mm Hg. However, the clinical impact of mPAP after BPA remains unclear.
