Optimal cut-off criteria for duplex ultrasound for the diagnosis of restenosis in stented carotid arteries: Review and protocol for a diagnostic study [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Carotid angioplasty with stenting is a relatively new, increasingly used, less-invasive treatment for the treatment of symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. It is being evaluated in ongoing and nearly finished randomized trials.

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

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 ...

Predictive haemodynamics in a one-dimensional human carotid artery bifurcation. Part II: application to graft design [PDF]
, 2008 A Bayesian surrogate modelling technique is proposed that may be able to predict an optimal bypass graft configuration for patients suffering with stenosis in the internal carotid artery (ICA). At the outset, this statistical technique is considered as a

Stroke prevention-surgical and interventional approaches to carotid stenosis
Indian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2013 Extra cranial carotid artery stenosis is an important cause of stroke, which often needs treatment with carotid revascularization. To prevent stroke recurrence, carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been well-established for several decades for symptomatic ...

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.
