RESUMO

Anterior communicating artery aneurysms are the most common intracranial aneurysm and have a high risk of rupture which can lead to morbidity and mortality. Traditionally, intracranial aneurysms were treated by clipping with neurosurgical access. However, certain patients may prefer less invasive approaches or not represent open surgical candidates. Flow diverters, including flow-redirection endoluminal devices (FRED), are new-generation stents that are placed endovascularly by transfemoral or transradial access. Recent studies have demonstrated that FRED is both safe and effective, with complete occlusion of aneurysms in over 90% of patients. This case highlights an interesting phenomenon of post-flow diversion circulatory remodeling, where flow diverter treatment can alter the circle of Willis anatomy and physiology.

RESUMO

Thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke has predominantly been with alteplase for over a quarter of a century. In recent years, with trials showing evidence of higher rates of successful reperfusion, similar safety profile and efficacy of tenecteplase (TNK) as compared to alteplase, TNK has now emerged as another potential choice for thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke. In this review, we will focus on these recent advances, aiming: (1) to provide a brief overview of thrombolysis in stroke; (2) to provide comparisons between alteplase and TNK for clinical, imaging, and safety outcomes; (3) to focus on key subgroups of interest to understand if there is an advantage of using TNK over alteplase or vice-versa, to review available evidence on role of TNK in intra-arterial thrombolysis, as bridging therapy and in mobile stroke units; and (4) to summarize what to expect in the near future from recently completed trials and propose areas for future research on this evolving topic. We present compelling data from several trials regarding the safety and efficacy of TNK in acute ischemic stroke along with completed yet unpublished trials that will help provide insight into these unanswered questions.

RESUMO

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a common group of neurological conditions that confer a significant burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In most cases, CSVD is only recognized in its advanced stages once its symptomatic sequelae develop. However, its significance in asymptomatic healthy populations remains poorly defined. In population-based studies of presumed healthy elderly individuals, CSVD neuroimaging markers including white matter hyperintensities, lacunes, cerebral microbleeds, enlarged perivascular spaces, cortical superficial siderosis, and cerebral microinfarcts are frequently detected. While the presence of these imaging markers may reflect unique mechanisms at play, there are likely shared pathways underlying CSVD. Herein, we aim to assess the etiology and significance of these individual biomarkers by focusing in asymptomatic populations at an epidemiological level. By primarily examining population-based studies, we explore the risk factors that are involved in the formation and progression of these biomarkers. Through a critical semi-systematic review, we aim to characterize “asymptomatic” CSVD, review screening modalities, and draw associations from observational studies in clinical populations. Lastly, we highlight areas of research (including therapeutic approaches) in which further investigation is needed to better understand asymptomatic CSVD.
