RGS5 rs4657251 polymorphism is associated with small vessel occlusion stroke in Taiwan Han Chinese. [PDF]
Background: The regulator of G-protein signaling protein 5 (RGS5) has been demonstrated to play a role in regulating blood pressure and cardiovascular function. Studies have shown that RGS5 polymorphisms exhibit susceptibility to hypertension. However, no study has yet been performed among stroke patients.

Differential value of intima thickness in ischaemic stroke due to large-artery atherosclerosis and small-vessel occlusion. [PDF]
AbstractNo study has examined the differential value of arterial intima thickness in the subtypes of acute ischaemic stroke. This study aimed to assess whether intima thickness of carotid artery (CIT), radial artery (RIT) and dorsalis pedis artery (PIT) have an independent and additive value in differentiating ischaemic stroke subtypes due to large ...

Internal vessel occlusion: An improved technique for small vessel anastomosis [PDF]
During infragenicular bypass, internal occlusion of the distal vessel avoids unnecessary dissection and potentially damaging use of external clamps or vessel loops while improving exposure and patency. This technique is especially useful in patients with small or calcific vessels in whom distal reconstruction is necessary for limb salvage.

Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous rtPA in Ischemic Strokes Due to Small-Vessel Occlusion: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
AbstractIntravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (iv-rtPA) has been routinely used to treat ischemic stroke for 25 years, following large clinical trials. However, there are few prospective studies on the efficacy and safety of this therapy in strokes attributed to cerebral small vessel disease (SVD).

Contemporary Methods for Detection and Intervention of Distal Medium and Small Vessel Occlusions
The efficacy of using mechanical thrombectomy for proximal large vessel occlusions has been demonstrated in multiple large-scale trials and has further raised the question of its potential utility for distal medium and small vessel occlusions (DMSVOs).

Comparison of susceptibility weighted imaging and TOF-angiography for the detection of Thrombi in acute stroke. [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Time-of-flight (TOF) angiography detects embolic occlusion of arteries in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to the absence of blood flow in the occluded vessel.

Endovascular Thrombectomy for Distal Occlusion Using a Semi-Deployed Stentriever: Report of 2 Cases and Technical Note [PDF]
Distal intracranial occlusions can sometimes cause significant neurological deficits. Endovascular thrombectomy in these vessels may improve outcome but carry a higher risk of haemorrhagic complications due to the small calibre and tortuosity of the ...

Nondominant Right Coronary Artery Occlusion
Nondominant right coronary artery (NDRCA) occlusion is rare and generally affects a small volume of myocardium. Despite this, NDRCA occlusion can result in dramatic clinical sequelae. These cases demonstrate the characteristic electrocardiographic findings and consequences of NDRCA occlusion, highlighting the importance of recognition of this ...
