Carotid stenosis and cryptogenic stroke
Cryptogenic stroke represents a type of ischemic stroke with an unknown origin, presenting a significant challenge in both stroke management and prevention. According to the Trial of Org 10,172 in Acute Stroke Treatment criteria, a stroke is categorized as being caused by large artery atherosclerosis only when there is >50% luminal narrowing of the ...

ABSTRACT The superiority of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) over maximal medical therapy for symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis in terms of secondary prevention has yet to be proved. However, several studies have reported that PTA can improve cortical symptoms and cognitive dysfunctions in selected patients with intracranial artery ...

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from the CHARGE consortium identifies common variants associated with carotid intima media thickness and plaque [PDF]
Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and plaque determined by ultrasonography are established measures of subclinical atherosclerosis that each predicts future cardiovascular disease events.

Coronary Spasm Due to Pulsed Field Ablation: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review
ABSTRACT With the ever‐growing population of patients undergoing cardiac ablation with pulsed electric fields, there is a need to understand secondary effects from the therapy. Coronary artery spasm is one such effect that has recently emerged as the subject of further investigation in electrophysiology literature.

Early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in workers: role of standard and advanced echocardiography [PDF]
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality and consequently early diagnosis is of paramount importance. Working conditions can be regarded as an additional risk factor for CVD. Since different aspects of the job

Abstract Recanalization by endovascular treatment (EVT) is effective in acute ischaemic stroke caused by large‐vessel occlusion. Better understanding of the pathophysiology could possibly identify targets for improving peri‐procedural management and thereby patient outcome.

Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.

Carotid stenting for irradiation-associated carotid stenosis 3 years after previous carotid endarterectomy [PDF]
Extracranial carotid stenosis is a known complication of external irradiation to the head and neck region. We report on a patient with previous carotid endarterectomy for irradiation-associated carotid stenosis. This patient developed symptomatic carotid
