Benefit of carotid endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic moderate or severe stenosis. North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial Collaborators.
TLDR
Benefit of carotid endarterectomy was greatest among men, patients with recent stroke as the qualifying event, and patients with hemispheric symptoms, and decisions about treatment for patients in this category must take into account recognized risk factors.

Beneficial effect of carotid endarterectomy in symptomatic patients with high-grade carotid stenosis.
TLDR
Carotid endarterectomy is highly beneficial to patients with recent hemispheric and retinal transient ischemic attacks or nondisabling strokes and ipsilateral high-grade stenosis of the internal carotid artery.

CT Angiography Clot Burden Score and Collateral Score: Correlation with Clinical and Radiologic Outcomes in Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Infarct
TLDR
Patients with higher CBS and CS demonstrated smaller pretreatment perfusion defects and final infarct volume and better clinical outcome and independently predicted favorable outcome.

Treatment of 54 traumatic carotid-cavernous fistulas.
TLDR
The results show that the fistula was totally occluded in 53 cases; in the one exception the patient became asymptomatic but had a minimal angiographic leak.

n-Butyl 2-cyanoacrylate--substitute for IBCA in interventional neuroradiology: histopathologic and polymerization time studies.
TLDR
It is concluded that n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA), a tissue adhesive approved for surgical use in some countries, has clinical and biologic behaviors similar to IBCA, and therefore should be an acceptable alternative to I BCA for intravascular use.

Identification, prognosis, and management of patients with carotid artery near occlusion.
TLDR
It is crucial to identify near occlusions on vascular imaging and although it still is reasonable to consider endarterectomy for patients with severe stenosis, the benefit is muted.

Giant intracranial varices secondary to high-flow arteriovenous fistulae.
TLDR
In six cases successful surgical and/or endovascular occlusion of the intracranial AV fistula was obtained, and one case was treated conservatively, one patient died from delayed postoperative intracerebral bleeding.

Indications for treatment and classification of 132 carotid-cavernous fistulas.
TLDR
Ninety-two of 95 traumatic CCFs were treated in this series of 37 spontaneous CCFs and direct surgical exposure of the cervical or cavernous internal carotid artery (ICA) was necessary in the remaining 3 patients, who had undergone unsuccessful surgical trapping.

CT Angiography “Spot Sign” Predicts Hematoma Expansion in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage
TLDR
The computed tomography angiography spot sign is associated with the presence and extent of hematoma progression and further studies are warranted to validate the ability of this sign to predict clinical outcomes.
