Clinical Significance of Collaterals in Chronic Total Occlusions
Collateral circulation develops during the gradual progression of coronary occlusions in order to replace the original artery and supply blood to areas jeopardized by ischemia. However, the relevance of collaterals has remained controversial for many years. Several works have suggested a rapid regression of collaterals after rechanneling of chronic total coronary occlusions, which could render…

The mechanisms behind this complication have not yet been clarified and, therefore, neither have guideline recommendations in this regard (as we can tell…

Statin Pre-Treatment for the Prevention of Peri-Procedural Events in Carotid Artery Stenting
Recent randomized studies have shown that the rates of combined peri-procedural events for carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy are similar. While the final numbers are similar, the actual events are different: more infarction events for endarterectomy and more stroke (particularly minor stroke) events for carotid artery stenting. The reduction of these rates of stroke has been the aim of…
Risk of spinal cord infarction in aortic aneurysm repair
Spinal Cord infarction represents roughly 1% of all strokes and can lead to severe impairment, like paraplegia or quadriplegia. Aortic endovascular and surgical repair of aortic aneurysms or dissections could result in spinal cord infarction, because the vascular supply of the spinal cord largely originates directly from the aorta. Spinal cord ischemia (SCI) rate in patients undergoing aortic repair varies depending on the…
