Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis [PDF]

open access: yesStroke, 2007
To the Editor: The recent publication of ACST confirmed the findings from a previous randomized controlled trial that carotid endarterectomy reduces the number of strokes in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenoses.1,2 These findings could be interpreted as a basis for screening for carotid artery stenoses and the widespread expansion of carotid ...

Quantitative susceptibility mapping of the human carotid artery: Assessing sensitivity to elastin and collagen ex vivo

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The aim is to establish the relationship between carotid susceptibility and microstructural components in diseased carotid arteries. Methods Excised cadaveric carotid arteries (n = 5) were scanned using high‐resolution QSM at 7 Tesla. After ex vivo imaging, all samples were brought to histology and stained for elastin, collagen, cells,

It is safe to use transdermal glyceryl trinitrate to lower blood pressure in patients with acute ischaemic stroke with carotid stenosis

open access: yesStroke and Vascular Neurology, 2019
Background There is concern that blood pressure (BP) lowering in acute stroke may compromise cerebral perfusion and worsen outcome in the presence of carotid stenosis.

Long-Term Follow-Up Study of Endarterectomy Versus Angioplasty in Patients With Symptomatic Severe Carotid Stenosis Trial

open access: yesStroke, 2014
Background and Purpose— We aimed at comparing the long-term benefit–risk balance of carotid stenting versus endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis.

Predictive Factors of Free Flap Volume Evolution in Head and Neck Reconstruction

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The aim of our study was to determine the factors influencing the evolution of the total volume and bone volume of free flaps commonly used in head and neck surgery, with a 30‐month prospective study, to establish volume change predictions and thus propose a degree of overcorrection to be expected before reconstruction.

Plaque Inflammation and Unstable Morphology Are Associated With Early Stroke Recurrence in Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis

open access: yesStroke, 2014
Background and Purpose— Although symptomatic carotid stenosis is associated with 3-fold increased risk of early stroke recurrence, the pathophysiologic mechanisms of high early stroke risk have not been established.

Prevalence of function‐limiting late effects in survivors of head and neck cancer

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Survivors of head and neck cancer (HNC) are commonly affected by multiple complex and interrelated long‐term and late effects that can adversely affect their function and quality of life. Objective To define the prevalence of neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, visceral, oncologic, and other late effects affecting function and quality ...

Pathophysiological link between carotid atherosclerosis and cerebral white matter lesions

open access: yesScientific Reports
Carotid atherosclerosis is associated with white matter hyperintensity (WMH), potentially resulting in cognitive and gait problems. We assessed the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis patterns and regional WMH, offering insights into possible ...
