CAS is prefered more than carotid endarterectomy because of more non-invasive technique, decrased recovery period, decresed patient discomfort. In this study, we evaluated the datas of patients treated with CAS in Kocaeli Derince Training and Research Hospital. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the datas of patients who were treated with CAS in Kocaeli Training and Research hospital Neurology Department between 2018 and 2020 were included to our study. Demographic datas, angiographic findings, periprocedural processes and complications, ischemic stroke, acute myocardial infarction (MI) and death rates in 1 year follow- up were evaluated. Results: ASeventy-one patients were treated with CAS. Fifty-nine (83.1%) patients were male. Mean age was found as 67,4±8,7 years. CAS was applied to only right carotid artery in 32(45.1%) patients, only lef t carotid artery in 36(50.7%) patients and bilateral carotid arteries in 3(4.2%) patients. Open-cell stents were placed to 39 (54.9%) patients. Hemodynamic depression occured in 21(29.5%) patients. Hemodynamic depression was associated with open-cell stents (p=0.005) and coronary artery disease in medical history (p=0.030). Only 2(2.8%) patients had acute ischemic stroke in 1 year follow-up. Acute MI and death didn’t occur in our patients. Discussion and Conclusion: CAS is a safe and effective method in treatment of extracranial carotid artery stenosis. Open-cell stents may increase the risk of hemodynamic depression, but mechanism is unclear.

Most cases of TN are usually caused by compression of the trigeminal nerve root, within a few millimeters from its exit from the pons. In this study, we aimed to present our experience regarding the microvascular decompression surgical approach and its results in the treatment of patients who applied to the clinic with a diagnosis of TN and who did not respond to any of the treatments. METHODS: Microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery was performed on a total of 7 patients with TN who applied to the clinic between 2020 and 2021, and the information of the patients was retrospectively evaluated using surgery reports, epicrisis, and magnetic resonance images (MRI). RESULTS: It was observed that all 7 patients with TN were initially administrated carbamazepine and/or oxcarbazepine, implemented radiofrequency thermocoagulation treatment and gamma knife radiosurgery. Subsequently, all the patients underwent MVD surgery. No complications developed in the postoperative period and complaints of TN in all patients completely resolved in the early period.
