Angioscopy-assisted thoracic endovascular aortic repair for chronic type B aortic dissection: Optimizing stent graft coverage and left subclavian artery coil embolization [PDF]
We report the case of a 69-year-old man with chronic type B aortic dissection and progressive aneurysmal dilatation. Zone 2 thoracic endovascular aortic repair was performed with carotid-subclavian bypass.

Clarification of embolic source in ischaemic stroke by non-obstructive general angioscopy [PDF]
Background Aortogenic stroke is an important subtype of embolic strokes, yet lacks a diagnostic method for proactive identification. Non-obstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) is a catheter-based technique to observe spontaneously ruptured aortic plaques (

Efficacy of Angioscopy for the Detection of Mobile Carotid Artery Lesions [PDF]
Case presentation A 78‐year‐old man with a mobile lesion was diagnosed with thrombus using carotid ultrasonography, but the lesion was not completely resolved with dual antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy. Direct visualization by angioscopy showed a

Safety and feasibility of dual antiplatelet therapy termination guided by angioscopic findings 6 months after flow diverter placement [PDF]
BackgroundFlow diverters (FDs) are commonly used to treat intracranial aneurysms with wide necks. Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is essential during the perioperative period to prevent thrombosis; however, it increases the risk of hemorrhagic ...

Optimal Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Duration For Carotid Artery Stenting On the Basis of Angioscopic Findings [PDF]
Background Dual antiplatelet therapy plays a crucial role in preventing thrombosis in the perioperative period of carotid artery stenting (CAS); however, it has been associated with a risk of hemorrhagic complications. A standard regimen for the duration

Association Between Aortic Wall Parameters on Multidetector Computed Tomography and Ruptured Plaques By Nonobstructive General Angioscopy [PDF]
Background Nonobstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) can identify vulnerable plaques in the aortic lumen that serve as potential risk factors for cardiovascular events such as embolism.

Long-term clinical significance of the presence of puff-chandelier ruptures detected by non-obstructive aortic angioscopy [PDF]
Although studies have reported various patterns of atherosclerotic aortic plaques (AAPs) detected by non-obstructive aortic angioscopy (NOA), the long-term outcomes associated with AAPs such as puff-chandelier rupture atheromatous plaque (PCR), remain ...

Hypothesis on the role of cholesterol crystals in spontaneously ruptured aortic plaques: Potential triggers for inflammation and systemic effects [PDF]
Cholesterol crystals (CCs) are a key component of atherosclerotic plaques and play a pivotal role in plaque progression, rupture, and the resulting inflammatory responses.
