Innovative Microsurgical Approach to Cervical ICA Stenosis Presented by Prof. Mehmet Erkan Ustun

The International Conference on Neurology and Neuroscience (March 23–25, 2026 | Singapore & Online) will feature an insightful virtual oral presentation by Prof. Mehmet Erkan Ustun from Turkey. His work introduces a highly specialized microsurgical solution for long-segment cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) tubular stenosis with distal kinking, a condition often resistant to conventional interventions.

Title: Microsurgical flow reconstruction targeting adventitial layer for long-segment cervical ICA tubular stenosis accompanying with distal grade 2 or 3 kinking: Clinical outcomes of 19 cases

🔍 Key Takeaways from the Presentation

1. A New Perspective on ICA Flow Reconstruction

·         Introduces adventitia-focused arteriolysis combined with perivascular sympathectomy.

·         Designed for lesions where endovascular repair or bypass is not technically feasible.

2. Clinical Evaluation of 19 Patients

·         Long-segment (>5 cm) cervical ICA stenosis with Grade 2 or 3 distal kinking.

·         Study period: 2017–2022.

·         Follow-up assessments at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months using MR/CT angiography & perfusion scans.

3. Remarkable Postoperative Outcomes

·         Migraine relief: 88.9% complete resolution.

·         Epileptic seizures: 83.3% full recovery.

·         Hemiparesis: 100% regained normal motor function.

·         Motor dysphasia: Complete improvement.

·         Tinnitus: 80% showed significant recovery.

·         No TIA episodes reported during the two-year follow-up.

4. Impact on Cerebrovascular Clinical Practice

·         Demonstrates strong potential for improving cerebral hemodynamics.

·         Offers a promising alternative in treating complex cervical ICA stenosis with kinking, especially for surgically difficult regions.
