Statins Reduce Neurologic Injury in Asymptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Patients

Stroke, 2013
Background and Purpose— Statins are neuroprotective in a variety of experimental models of cerebral injury. We sought to determine whether patients taking statins before asymptomatic carotid endarterectomy exhibit a lower incidence of neurological injury

Preoperative White Matter Lesions Are Independent Predictors of Long-Term Survival after Internal Carotid Endarterectomy

Cerebrovascular Diseases Extra, 2014
Background: Cerebral white matter lesions (WMLs) predict long-term survival of conservatively treated acute stroke patients with etiology other than carotid stenosis.

Very Urgent Carotid Endarterectomy Confers Increased Procedural Risk

Stroke, 2012
Background and Purpose— Current Swedish guidelines recommend that carotid endarterectomy should be performed within 14 days of a qualifying neurological event, but it is not clear if very urgent surgery after an event is associated with increased ...

Intravascular lithotripsy during transcarotid arterial revascularization for highly calcified lesions in high-risk patients

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2021
Transcarotid arterial revascularization (TCAR) with flow reversal offers a less invasive option for carotid revascularization in high-risk surgical patients.

Analysis of AneuRisk65 data: warped logistic discrimination [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
We analyze the AneuRisk65 curvature functions using a likelihood-based warping method for sparsely sampled curves, and combine it with logistic regression in order to discriminate subjects with aneurysms at or after the terminal bifurcation of the internal carotid artery (the most life-threatening) from subjects with no aneurysms or aneurysms along the

Length of carotid stenosis predicts peri-procedural stroke or death and restenosis in patients randomized to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy

International Journal of Stroke, 2013
Background The anatomy of carotid stenosis may influence the outcome of endovascular treatment or carotid endarterectomy. Whether anatomy favors one treatment over the other in terms of safety or efficacy has not been investigated in randomized trials ...

Prediction of Ischemic Events on the Basis of Transcriptomic and Genomic Profiling in Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy

Molecular Medicine, 2012
Classic risk factors, including age, smoking, serum cholesterol, diabetes and blood pressure, constitute the basis of present risk prediction models but fail to identify all individuals at risk.
