Recurrent Thromboembolic Complications After Carotid Artery Revascularization
Devanshi Dharaiya1*, Sarah Madani1, Sumul Modi1, Daniel Miller1, and Judith C. Lin2
Abstract:
Symptomatic severe carotid artery stenosis is treated with either carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS). Either of these procedures may be complicated by thrombosis of the treated segment of the extracranial carotid artery. We present a patient who underwent CAS which was complicated by in-stent thrombosis thirteen years later. He underwent CEA for acute left hemispheric stroke which was again complicated by deposition of thrombi within the bovine pericardial patch causing amaurosis fugax. Dual anti-platelet treatment with aspirin and clopidogrel resulted in imaging resolution and no recurrence of symptoms.

“Effect of Generalized Seizures on Sleep Patterns [An Animal Model]”
Fructuoso Ayala-Guerrero * and Graciela Mexicano
Abstract:
An interaction between epilepsy and sleep has been established
since long time ago. However, the Neurophysiological
mechanisms responsible of this interaction are not well
understood. The exact mechanisms underlying the precise
nature of this relation remain still unclear. Comprehension of the
complex mechanisms underlying the interrelationship between
sleep and epilepsy cannot be fully obtained from studies with
humans. Therefore animal models have played a fundamental
role in advancing the understanding of basic mechanisms
underlying this interrelationship.
