The ability to dilate concentrically calcified carotid plaques allows us to treat more carotids via transfemoral and transcarotid angioplasty and stenting

We first report this technique in 2005 and then several times after. Bottom line: non-compliant balloon, slow inflation technique (1atm/ 30 seconds), 2/3 normal lumen. FFR may be useful. This has kept complications low.

Lateral medullary compression of CN XII can cause tongue weakness, atrophy, and eventual #dysarthria. Here we show a #rare case of vertebral artery dolichoecatasia resulting in severe brainstem compression and deformation treated with #MACRO vascular decompression.

Complex #aneurysms require elegant solutions. Here we show a stent-in-stent construct to protect the PCA and SCA. We use our “roller coaster” technique to navigate #inflow—>outflow of the SCA. Nuanced understanding of stent characteristics and advanced techniques are needed.

#Cowboys need #lassos: After post-deployment rotation of a WEB, the inferior M2 branch was occluded. 1. Flow matters- give #Integrilin 2. 5F catheter parked at aneurysms neck 3. Snare in an micro-catheter 4. Lasso the WEB around the detachment zone and extract
