Article Abstract
Background: The clinical efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) associated with intracranial artery dissection (IAD) remains uncertain. This study presents a case of basilar artery dissection (BAD) in a 57-year-old Asian female patient devoid of previous risk factors for stroke who experienced a sudden onset of consciousness disturbance. The patient's clinical condition deteriorated during IVT administration, but subsequent medical intervention and rehabilitative exercises facilitated eventual recovery of daily functioning. MRI eventually identified the etiology of the patient's AIS.
Conclusion: AIS related to anterior circulation IAD may pose a relatively high risk of hemorrhagic transformation and symptom exacerbation during the early stages of IVT, but the impact on long-term prognosis remains uncertain. Consequently, further investigation is warranted to assess the safety and efficacy of IVT in such patients.

Right thoracotomy for surgical repair of Kommerell's diverticulum with a right-sided aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery: a video case report.

Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) combined with a right-sided aortic arch (RAA) and an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly causing significant compressive dysphagia. Treatment options, including open surgery, thoracic endovascular aortic repair and hybrid approaches, are debated due to anatomical complexities. We report a 48-year-old female with dysphagia from symptomatic KD, RAA and ALSA, clearly delineated by preoperative computed tomography angiography.

Skull base surgery requires precise spatial recognition; however, existing educational tools remain limited. To address this issue, we developed a step-by-step stereotactic three-dimensional anatomical model of the anterior transpetrosal approach using digital photogrammetry. Cadaveric dissection was subsequently performed in 17 steps, of which 10 were reconstructed into three-dimensional models.

Background: An inward force is experienced by the guide catheter during device retrieval resulting in potential risk of deep engagement into the ostio-proximal coronary segment. This undesired movement can result in coronary injury. There is no systematic data or reports of techniques to prevent such inadvertent guide movement during difficult retrieval of devices.

We report the forensic and clinicopathological spectrum of 14 postmortem cases involving the vertebral artery. In all cases, there was either pontocerebellar infarction (n = 8) or subarachnoid hemorrhage (n = 6). The underlying pathology of the vertebral artery was segmental mediolytic arteriopathy (n = 5), traumatic rupture of the arterial wall (n = 3), arterial dissection (n = 2), or atherosclerosis (n = 4).

A 76-year-old woman presented with anterolateral ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction complicated by incessant ventricular arrhythmia. Angiography did not find obstructive coronary disease. Echocardiography demonstrated "double valve sign," pathognomonic of aortic dissection, which was subsequently confirmed on computed tomography.
