Modern Management of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Meta-Analysis of CREST-2, SPACE-2, and ECST-2. [PDF]
Ann Clin Transl NeurolABSTRACT Background Recent randomized trials (CREST‐2, SPACE‐2, and ECST‐2) have compared carotid revascularization (carotid endarterectomy [CEA] or carotid artery stenting [CAS]) plus contemporary medical therapy (CMT) versus CMT alone in asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Measuring carotid stenosis [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2003 Comparing a new test with a standard involves measuring disagreement. In the case of measuring carotid artery stenosis, some of the disagreement between different tests is because of inherent differences in how the stenosis is demonstrated (test characteristics). This is what we are most interested in when assessing a new technology.

Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2011 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

Carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2005 Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is of proven benefit in recently-symptomatic patients with severe carotid stenosis. Its role in asymptomatic stenosis is still debated. The Asymptomatic Carotid Surgery Trial (ACST) more than doubled the number of patients randomised to CEA trials.

Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017 Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the most common cause of long-term disability. 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.

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2014 Objectives: We aimed to determine the prevalence of significant carotid stenosis in maintenance hemodialysis patients and to identify biochemical and echocardiographic predictors of significant carotid stenosis in those patients.

Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis [PDF]
Circulation, 2013 Case Presentation: A 78-year-old woman, a retired primary school principal, was referred for a second opinion regarding a recommendation that she undergo stenting of a severe carotid stenosis. A bruit in the right carotid had led to a carotid ultrasound study and a diagnosis of 80% stenosis of the right internal carotid artery.

Stroke, 2001 Background and Purpose — The ability to predict future strokes in asymptomatic patients with carotid stenosis is currently limited. The management of symptomatic patients with <50% stenosis is also debatable.

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2020 Pseudoaneurysm development after carotid endarterectomy is a rare occurrence. Even rarer is pseudoaneurysm formation associated with a distal carotid artery stenosis. We report the case of stent grafting of a carotid artery pseudoaneurysm and tandem high-

Brain and Behavior, 2019 Background Carotid artery stenosis, mainly caused by carotid atherosclerosis, is related to ischemic stroke. This study was to investigate whether monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR) was associated with increased severity of carotid stenosis in patients with
