Carotid Artery Stenting in Patients With Chronic Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion [PDF]
The risk of ischemic stroke in patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the internal carotid artery (ICA) on best medical treatment has been estimated to be 5.5% per year. The purpose of this study was to assess early and mid-term outcome of patients who underwent an attempt at transfemoral carotid artery stenting (CAS) for CTO of the ICA ...

Shear-Mediated Dilation of the Internal Carotid Artery Occurs Independent of Hypercapnia. [PDF]
Evidence for shear stress as a regulator of carotid artery dilation in response to increased arterial carbon dioxide was recently demonstrated in humans during sustained elevations in CO2 (hypercapnia); however, the relative contributions of CO2 and ...

Minor stroke due to large artery occlusion. When is intravenous thrombolysis not enough? Results from the SITS International Stroke Thrombolysis Register [PDF]
Purpose: Beyond intravenous thrombolysis, evidence is lacking on acute treatment of minor stroke caused by large artery occlusion. To identify candidates for additional endovascular therapy, we aimed to determine the frequency of non-haemorrhagic ...
