Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis.
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2020 BACKGROUND 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

Increased Expression of Interleukin-18 mRNA is Associated with Carotid Artery Stenosis
Balkan Medical Journal, 2018 Background: Carotid artery stenosis is the atherosclerotic narrowing of the proximal internal carotid artery and one of the primary causes of stroke. Elevated expression of the pleiotropic proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-18 has been demonstrated in ...
