Summary: This study aimed to assess the practicability and safety of a novel endovascular robotic system for endovascular aortic repair in humans. A prospective observational study was conducted in 2021 with 6 months of follow-up. The results showed that the robotic system achieved technical success in all patients without any device- or procedure-related complications or major adverse events. The operation time, blood loss, and radiation exposure of the operator were comparable to manual procedures.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the technical strategies and outcomes of fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair (F/BEVAR) in patients with occluded iliac arteries. The study showed that although challenging, F/BEVAR with a unilateral femoral/brachial approach is feasible in patients with occluded iliac limbs, with a significant rate of ischemic complications but satisfactory outcomes.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular recanalization for symptomatic chronic ICA occlusion and identify potential predictors for successful recanalization. The results showed that endovascular recanalization is a safe and effective treatment for selected patients. A residual stump, low levels of the distal ICA occlusion segment, and a short radiologic occlusion time were identified as positive predictors of technical success.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the mid-term outcomes of thoracic endovascular aorta repair (TEVAR) in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and type B aortic dissection (TBAD). A total of 26 MFS patients underwent TEVAR and had a perioperative mortality rate of 0%. The cumulative survival rate at 5 and 10 years was 88.1% and 82.9% respectively. Patients with thrombosed false lumen (FL) had significantly higher survival and freedom from reintervention rates compared to those with patent FL. However, patients with patent FL were at high risk of late death.

Summary: This study assessed the incidence of limb graft occlusion (LGO) after endovascular aneurysm repair with the low profile Zenith Alpha graft. The cumulative incidence of LGO was found to be 7% per limb up to 3 years postoperatively, and none of the analyzed risk factors suggested by the instructions for use or current literature were positively associated with LGO.

Summary: The study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of WEB embolization in treating narrow-necked aneurysms. Results showed a 100% technical success rate, no neurological complications, and good angiographic outcomes at 6 and 13 months post-procedure. WEB embolization may be considered as an alternative treatment option in selected cases.

Summary: This study describes the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of treatment of limb occlusion in patients who underwent treatment of complex thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms with the fenestrated Anaconda endograft. Female sex, lower thrombus load in the aneurysm sac, and greater iliac angulation are potential predictors for limb occlusion.

Summary: The Surpass Streamline flow diverter (SSFD) has shown promise for expanding options in endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms. This study retrospectively gathered data on SSFD-treated aneurysms to evaluate its effectiveness. The results demonstrate comparable occlusion rates to previous studies and the potential of SSFD to treat a wide array of aneurysmal pathology.

Summary: The timing of endovascular treatment for ruptured intracranial aneurysms is associated with the risk of intra-procedural complications. Treatment delayed more than 36 hours after subarachnoid hemorrhage increases the risk of complications, such as thrombus formation and thromboembolic events.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness and safety of drug treatment and endovascular treatment in patients with symptomatic nonacute middle cerebral artery occlusion. The results showed that endovascular treatment achieved a high rate of successful recanalization (94.6%), with low rates of peri-procedural complications. Therefore, for patients with mild nonacute middle cerebral artery occlusion, endovascular treatment is a safe and effective approach that can reduce the recurrence rate of stroke.

Summary: For patients with extensive TAAAs treated with fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair, both historical and planned procedural staging were associated with reduced permanent SCI rates. However, no additional benefit was observed when procedural staging was performed in patients with historical staging and an intact collateral network. Further investigation is needed to explore the protective role of preoperative cerebrospinal fluid drainage placement.

Summary: The study investigated the accuracy of the TICI grading system in the posterior circulation and found a certain level of consistency among raters, but improvement is needed in predicting brain areas at risk. Due to the high variability of TICI scores in the posterior circulation, it is suggested that other methods be developed to assess recanalization in this area.

Summary: This study aims to guide policy planning for thrombolysis and thrombectomy services for acute stroke in England, focusing on the choice between direct conveyance to an MT center and secondary transfer provision. It finds that direct conveyance to an IVT/MT center may challenge the sustainability of local IVT-only units, and careful planning is needed to create a sustainable system.

Summary: Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of e-CTA in identifying arterial occlusion and providing collateral vessel scoring on CT angiography for acute ischemic stroke.
Methods: A large sample of baseline CTA from 6 studies was analyzed to compare e-CTA results with expert interpretation for arterial abnormality. The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of e-CTA were assessed.
Results: The diagnostic accuracy of e-CTA for identifying arterial abnormality was 72-76%. Competence in CTA interpretation is important for users of e-CTA.
Interpretation: e-CTA can be used to automatically identify arterial occlusion and provide collateral vessel scoring, but its diagnostic accuracy should be considered in comparison to expert interpretation.
