- Risk Factors for Unfavorable Functional Outcome after Endovascular Treatment of Cerebral Vasospasm following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
In this study, patients’ individual risk factors, intensity, and extent of cerebral vasospasm associated with poor functional outcomes after endovascular treatment of aneurysmal SAH. Analysis showed an association of higher age, higher Hunt and Hess grades, the occurrence of rebleeding, and bihemispheric vasospasm with unfavorable outcome (mRS 3-6).
- Assessment of Attenuation in Pericarotid Fat among Patients with Carotid Plaque and Spontaneous Carotid Dissection
This cross-sectional retrospective study assessed the PFD in patients with spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection or carotid atherosclerotic plaque, with and without IPH. The results showed that the average PFDs in patients with SICAD and carotid atherosclerosis plaque with IPH were similar and higher than those in patients with carotid plaque without IPH, suggesting a shared pathologic inflammatory mechanism in these 2 conditions.
- Pericarotid Fat as a Marker of Cerebrovascular Risk
This review article summarizes the key concepts related to pericarotid fat and its pathophysiology, examining its applicability as noninvasive imaging of plaque vulnerability and cerebrovascular events.
