Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue presents a comprehensive overview of the advances and application of interventional therapy in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It covers a wide range of topics, including the latest techniques and technologies, clinical studies, outcomes, and challenges in interventional therapy.

The key topics covered in this Special Issue include the role of interventional therapies for acute myocardial infarctions, coronary artery disease, stroke, carotid artery disease, peripheral artery disease, pulmonary embolism, and hypertension. It also discusses the development of minimally invasive procedures, such as percutaneous coronary intervention, endovascular therapy, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and their significant impact on patients’ outcomes.

The studies presented in this Special Issue highlight the benefits of interventional therapy in improving patients’ survival rates, reducing complications, and enhancing the quality of life for individuals suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Additionally, this Special Issue sheds light on the challenges faced by healthcare professionals in successfully implementing and optimizing interventional therapy techniques, including patient selection, risk stratification, and individualized treatment plans.

In conclusion, this Special Issue serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers interested in advancing the field of interventional therapy for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The studies and insights presented not only provide a deeper understanding of the latest techniques and technologies but also emphasize the need for continuous research and development in this field.

A type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a dangerous condition requiring emergency surgery. Due to the similarity of the symptoms of cerebral malperfusion in TAAD and the signs of ischemic stroke, a differential diagnosis of these diseases is not always available. Patients with TAAD after cerebral malperfusion can have a neurological deficit. Thrombolysis is performed in this case. It can worsen the patient’s condition and increase the risk of mortality and disability. The aim of the study is to evaluate the new approach to restoring cerebral perfusion during aortic dissection. This approach includes endovascular recanalization and carotid stenting. Methods: Two clinical cases of TAAD complicated by cerebral malperfusion are described. The first patient is 73 years old and was admitted as planned to perform transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for grade III aortic stenosis. The patient underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) on the second day after admission. The second patient is 60 years old and was hospitalized by an ambulance with strong hypertension and ischemia. The surgical correction of aortic dissection was postponed until the neurological status assessment in both patients. Results: The surgery to correct the aorta dissection was deemed inappropriate. The carotid arteries have been reanalyzed, and cerebral perfusion has been restored in a short time in both patients. Conclusion: Acute bilateral internal carotid occlusion is a potentially fatal TAAD outcome. Emergency endovascular recanalization and carotid stenting may be considered one of the few ways to restore cerebral perfusion. Full article
