Endovascular Treatments

Endovascular treatment tends to replace open surgery in the management of peripheral arterial disease. Access via the common femoral artery remains the primary approach for peripheral arterial interventions. Brachial artery access has emerged as a valid alternative when femoral access is not feasible. Brachial access can be achieved either percutaneously or through an open surgical approach at the elbow. A limited number of studies have reported complication rates associated with open and percutaneous brachial access in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease. These studies have shown higher complication rates for percutaneous access (ranging from 6% to 9%) compared with open brachial access (ranging from 1% to 2%). However, no direct comparison between the two approaches has been reported to date. This study is the first to provide a direct, prospective, randomized comparison between open brachial access and percutaneous brachial access

To compare the progression of cerebral ischemia from HF in Afro-Caribbean patients admitted to the CHUG to that of patients from Nantes included in the national ETIS registry.

A multicenter, prospective, open-label, blinded endpoint, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of best medical management (BMM) combined with endovascular treatment (EVT) versus BMM alone in acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) patients with large infarct cores.

Post-ischemic adaptation is a physical brain protective treatment strategy in which an ischemic event in an organ or tissue is treated and blood flow is restored, and an ischemic stimulus is given to local tissues to induce the production of anti-ischemic damage factors and reduce the damage associated with reperfusion therapy . Relevant basic studies have confirmed that post-ischemic adaptation can reduce infarct volume and promote neurological function recovery in animal models of cerebral infarction. Therefore, it may be beneficial to the recovery of neurological function in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing mechanical thrombus extraction. Based on the above background, the use of a balloon to repeatedly dilate-contract at the original occlusion site after revascularization to block and restore arterial flow may be an effective cerebroprotective treatment for patients with large-vessel occlusion who undergo thrombolysis. However, can this approach be safely used in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with thrombolysis? What is the protocol for the length of time patients can tolerate post-ischemic adaptation? The application of this method in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke will be explored in this study.
