Stent thrombosis is a major limitation of stent-assisted coiling, which is an effective method for treating wide-necked aneurysms. Although early in-stent thrombosis has been reported, very late stent thrombosis (VLST) (>1 year) has not been reported following implantation of a single self-expandable stent designed for coiling. Herein, the authors present a case of VLST that occurred 14 months after single stent implantation in a large paraclinoid aneurysm with an ultra-wide neck involving the parent artery circumferentially. This case indicates the need for establishing guidelines regarding the optimal duration of prophylactic antiplatelet therapy following stent-assisted coiling, which remains undefined in the neuroendovascular field.

Alternative to carotid endarterectomy, carotid artery stenting (CAS) can be performed for symptomatic severe stenosis of internal carotid artery, especially for high-risk patients. Among several complications after CAS, subacute in-stent thrombosis is rare but important, because patient's condition can deteriorate rapidly. Subacute in-stent thrombosis with carotid artery occlusion can be managed by superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis. We report two cases of STA-MCA anastomosis for internal carotid artery occlusion by subacute in-stent thrombosis after CAS.

ACC/AHA/SCAI Guideline recommends for administration dual antiplatelet therapy after drug-eluting stent (DES) to prevent restenosis and stent thrombosis in patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Recently triple antiplatelet therapy including cilostazol is known to reduce restenosis and stent thrombosis significantly after DES implantation. However, there is lack of data providing the efficacy of triple antiplatelet therapy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effects of the triple therapy after DES implantation compared with the dual therapy. This retrospective study collected data from medical charts of 251 patients who received DES implantation between Jul 2006 and Jun 2008. They received either dual antiplatelet therapy (N = 154 clopidogrel and aspirin; Dual group) or triple antiplatelet therapy (N = 97 cliostazol, clopidogrel and aspirin; Triple group). Major adverse cardiac event rates (MACE, included total death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization) at 12 months, 24 months, stent thrombosis, rates of bleeding complications and adverse drug reactions were compared between these two groups. Compared with the dual group, the triple group had a similar incidence of the MACE rates at 24months (12.3% vs. 12.4%, p = 0.99). There is no difference in overall stent thrombosis between two groups (Dual group 2.6% vs. Triple group 4.1%, p = 0.5). Subgroup analysis showed that diabetic patients got more benefit in reducing MACE rates but, there is no statistical difference. Bleeding complications and adverse drug effects were not different significantly. As compared with dual antiplatelet therapy, triple antiplatelet therapy did not reduce the 12-months, 24-months MACE rates and stent thrombosis. Bleeding complications and adverse drug effects were not different.

Vascular stenting has a great attention as a treatment for coronary arteries diseases as compared with percutaneous balloon angioplasty. In-stent restenosis and thrombosis are side effects resulting from using bare metal stent (BMS). Employing platelet therapy allowed to reduce the rate of thrombosis, however, the rate of restenosis remains a major problem. In 2002, drug-eluting stents (DESs) were introduced as an effort to reduce the restenosis. The commercially available DESs continue to suffer from coating defects that might lead to a series of adverse effects. Most importantly, multiple concerns remain regarding the polymer coating integrity on metal surfaces or the relation of polymer irregularities to longterm adverse events.

흉곽출구 증후군에서 쇄골하 정맥혈전증은 그리 흔한 질환은 아니지만 혈전 용해술 및 풍선 성형술 또는 스텐트 등의 시술이 필요하게 되고 수술을 통한 첫 번째 늑골절제술과 정맥수술을 요하는 질환이다. 저자들은 경액와 접근법이 아닌 쇄골내측절제술을 통한 구조물 감압과 내경정맥 치환술 후 스텐트 삽입을 하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하고자 한다.

Objective : Stent-assisted coil embolization of intracranial wide-necked aneurysm requires long-term postoperative antiplatelet therapy to prevent in-stent thrombosis. This study aimed to demonstrate results of temporary stent placement for coiling wide necked small intracranial aneurysms, which eliminated need for antiplatelet agents, and to discuss its feasibility and safety. Methods : Data of 156 patients who underwent stent-assisted coil embolization between 2011 and 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Thirteen cases of temporary stent-assisted coil embolization were included, and their clinical and radiological results were evaluated. Results : The aneurysms treated were all unruptured except one case. All of them had wide neck with mean dome-to-neck ratio of 0.96 and were small-sized aneurysms with mean maximal diameter of 4.2 mm. There was no technical failure in retrieval of stent after completion of embolization of the target aneurysm. Immediate angiography revealed 11 complete and two partial embolization (one residual neck and one residual aneurysm). Two cases encountered thrombosis complication, and they were managed without neurological sequelae. The mean follow-up period was 43 months, angiographic follow-up revealed two cases with minor recurrence, and clinical outcome was good with modified Rankin scale score of 0. Conclusion : Temporary stent-assisted coil embolization of small wide-necked intracranial aneurysm using fully retrievable stent appears safe and effective. Further application and evaluation of this technique in more cases with larger size aneurysm is warranted.

약물방출 스텐트 (drug-eluting stents, DES)는 일반금속 스텐트에 비하여 재협착을 현저하게 줄었지만, DES의 구조적인 특성으로 인한 스텐트 혈전증 (stent thrombosis, ST)이 증가한다고 알려져 있다. 혈전증 유형의 정의는 Early ST ; (EST)은 30일 이내, Late ST ; (LST)은 31일 이상에서 1년 이내 그리고 Very late ST ; (VLST)은 1년 이상으로 분류 하였다. 스텐트 세대별 (시장 출시와 스텐트 디자인, Polymer 향상에 따른) ST발생빈도, 임상 양상 및 예후를 알아보았다. 2003년 6월부터 2013년 6월까지의 전남대학교병원 심혈관센터에서 경피적 관상동맥 중재술을 시행 받은 10,273명 중 ST 발생은 134명 (1.30%) 이었다. 세대별 발생빈도는 1세대에서 81명 (0.79%)으로 높았으며, 세대별 ST 유형은 1세대에서는 VLST의 발생률이 높았고 (p=0.002), 2세대에서는 EST와 LST의 발생률이 높았지만 (p=0.025), 3세대에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다(p=0.278). ST로 인하여 사망한 14명은 EST 10명 (18.2%), LST 2명 (8.3%), VLST 2명 (3.6%)로서 EST에서 사망률이 높았다 (p=0.042). DES 시술 후 발생하는 ST는 1.3% 이였고, VLST는 1세대 스텐트에서 많았으며, 입원 중 사망률은 EST에서 높았다.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is rarely associated with macroscopic vascular invasion or tumor thrombosis. Especially, superior vena cava syndrome(SVCS) resulted from tumor thrombosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma is extremely rare. We present herein a case of SVCS caused by tumor thrombosis from papillary thyroid carcinoma which was successfully solved by intravascular placement of self-expandable stent in 74-year-old woman.
