Carotid endarterectomy for recurrent stenosis [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to report our results in the surgical management of recurrent carotid stenosis (RCS) after carotid endarterectomy (CEA).In a 20-year period, we performed 1209 CEAs; 82 operations (6.8%) were for RCS. There were 33 men and 36 women, with an average age of 66.3 years.

Interobserver agreement for 10% categories of angiographic carotid stenosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although the reliability of the assessment of severe 70% to 99% carotid stenosis by carotid angiography has been proven excellent, this may not necessarily be the case for a more detailed classification of carotid stenoses by 10 ...

Carotid Artery Stenting for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: What We Need to Know for Treatment Decision [PDF]
A clinical decision on the treatment of asymptomatic carotid stenosis is challenging, unlike symptomatic carotid stenosis. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been recommended as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) based on the finding that the ...

Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis [PDF]
Severe narrowing (stenosis) of the carotid artery is an important cause of stroke. Surgical treatment (carotid endarterectomy) may reduce the risk of stroke, but carries a risk of operative complications.To determine the balance of benefit versus risk of endarterectomy plus best medical management compared with best medical management alone in patients

Analysis of the Effect of Atherosclerosis with the Changes of Hematocrit: A Computational Study on the Hemodynamics of Carotid Artery [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a state wherein plaque (fat, cholesterol, and different substances) develops inside the veins that in the end prompts carotid artery stenosis which is a phase of narrowing in the huge courses situated on either side of the neck that convey blood to the brain, face, and head.
