Residual cholesterol levels are associated with carotid plaque stability in patients with carotid stenosis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsResidual cholesterol (RC) is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis. High levels of RC have been shown to be associated with unstable plaque in healthy populations. However, the association between RC and unstable carotid plaque in specific

Carotid Artery Stenting for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: What We Need to Know for Treatment Decision [PDF]
Neurointervention, 2023 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 stenting technique and review of literature – What every resident should know [PDF]
Romanian Journal of Neurology, 2022 Carotid artery stenosis is a prevalent and substantial cause of ischemic stroke; however, in patients who have significant symptomatic stenosis, carotid revascularization can lower their chances of having an ischemic stroke.

Neutrophil extracellular traps induce thrombogenicity in severe carotid stenosis
Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2021 Background Severe carotid stenosis is a common cause of stroke. In addition, previous clinical studies revealed that patients symptomatic of carotid stenosis suffer from increased episodes of stroke compared with their asymptomatic counterparts. However,

Correlation of intracranial atherosclerosis with carotid stenosis in ischemic stroke patients
Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2015 Introduction: Carotid stenosis is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. However, the effect of carotid stenosis on the site of stroke is still under investigation. Aims: This study aimed to elucidate how the presence of carotid stenosis influenced the
