Neurotrophins in carotid atherosclerosis and stenting. [PDF]
Ann Med, 2023 Carotid stenting is used with an expanding indications. The neurotrophins are a family of proteins that induce the survival, development, and function of neurons. Carotid stenting alters cerebral blood flow and can affect neurotrophins' levels.We included 78 people: 39 with significant carotid stenoses (CS) referred for carotid stenting (mean age 67.79
