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

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 (

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 ...
