Residual cholesterol levels are associated with carotid plaque stability in patients with carotid stenosis [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Residual 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

Modern Management of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Meta-Analysis of CREST-2, SPACE-2, and ECST-2. [PDF]

open access: yesAnn Clin Transl Neurol
ABSTRACT 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.

Carotid artery stenosis and coronary artery disease coincidence [PDF]

open access: yesReviews in Clinical Medicine, 2015
Cerebrovascular event is one of the important causes of death in the world. Carotid artery stenosis is one of main risk factors of cerebrovascular events. Risk factors for atherosclerosis are found in carotid artery stenosis.

Carotid Artery Stenting for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: What We Need to Know for Treatment Decision [PDF]

open access: yesNeurointervention, 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 ...

Measuring carotid stenosis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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]

open access: yesCochrane 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

High-Frame Rate Vector Flow Imaging Technique: Initial Application in Evaluating the Hemodynamic Changes of Carotid Stenosis Caused by Atherosclerosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Objective: To investigate the value of high-frame rate vector flow imaging technique (V flow) in evaluating the hemodynamic changes of carotid stenosis caused by atherosclerotic plaques.Methods and Materials: In this prospective study, patients with ...

Carotid artery stenting compared with endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis (International Carotid Stenting Study): an interim analysis of a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Stents are an alternative treatment to carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis, but previous trials have not established equivalent safety and efficacy.

Timing of procedural stroke and death in asymptomatic patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy: individual patient analysis from four RCTs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for stroke prevention depends on low procedural risks. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and timing of procedural complications after CEA, which may clarify underlying ...

Carotid stenting technique and review of literature – What every resident should know [PDF]

open access: yesRomanian 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.
