Background: Patients with laboratory criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and presenting only “non-criteria” clinical manifestations are scarcely described in the literature [1-3]. Objectives: To describe a cohort of these patients, portraying potential associations between manifestations, antibodies (aPL) treatments. Methods: Retrospective analysis patients aPL positivity fulfilling AP...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate outcome carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for symptomatic artery stenosis (SCAS) in patients >80 years old. This is a retrospective analysis treated with CEA from 2005 2022 SCAS. Patients were divided according their age nonoctogenarian (<80 old) and octogenarian (≥80 compared postoperative stroke/death, considering also type symptoms timing intervention....

our aim was to report techniques and our experience in one-stage angioplasty and stenting of ostium of left common carotid and left internal carotid arteries in an octogenarian man with transient ischemic attack, who was completely recovered from neurologic insults short time after the procedure. an 81-year-old man presented with a transient ischemic attack. neurologic examination showed left s...

To review short- and long-term outcomes of all carotid artery stenting (CAS) in patients with radiation-induced (RI) internal (ICA) stenosis compared atherosclerotic (AS). We performed a single-center, multisite case-control study intervention stented for RI or AS. Cases were identified using CAS database covering January 2000 to December 2019 matched 2:1 AS age, sex, year CAS. Multivariable lo...

Proctalgia fugax is considered as intermittent anal pain of unknown etiology; a variety of treatments have been used, without, however, permanent results.
