Carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis [PDF]

open access: yesCochrane 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.

The TXA2R rs1131882, P2Y1 rs1371097 and GPIIIa rs2317676 three-loci interactions may increase the risk of carotid stenosis in patients with ischemic stroke

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2019
Background The genetic risk factors for carotid stenosis are not fully understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between variants in platelet activation-relevant genes and carotid stenosis in patients with ischemic stroke (IS).

Length of carotid stenosis predicts peri-procedural stroke or death and restenosis in patients randomized to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BackgroundThe anatomy of carotid stenosis may influence the outcome of endovascular treatment or carotid endarterectomy. Whether anatomy favors one treatment over the other in terms of safety or efficacy has not been investigated in randomized trials ...

Neutrophil extracellular traps induce thrombogenicity in severe carotid stenosis

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2021
Background Severe carotid stenosis is a common cause of stroke. In addition, previous clinical studies revealed that patients symptomatic of carotid stenosis suffer from increased episodes of stroke compared with their asymptomatic counterparts. However,

Case report: Early carotid stent shortening in patient with radiation-induced carotid stenosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2023
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) for carotid stenosis has been widely used as an alternative treatment in patients not eligible for surgery. The shortening of a carotid stent rarely occurs.

Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis [PDF]

open access: yesCochrane 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.

Endovascular treatment with angioplasty or stenting versus endarterectomy in patients with carotid artery stenosis in the Carotid And Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS): long-term follow-up of a randomised trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Endovascular treatment (angioplasty with or without stenting) is an alternative to carotid endarterectomy for carotid artery stenosis but there are scarce long-term efficacy data showing that it prevents stroke.

Correlation of intracranial atherosclerosis with carotid stenosis in ischemic stroke patients

open access: yesAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2015
Introduction: Carotid stenosis is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. However, the effect of carotid stenosis on the site of stroke is still under investigation. Aims: This study aimed to elucidate how the presence of carotid stenosis influenced the

Clinical Application of High-Frame-Rate Vector Flow Imaging in Evaluation of Carotid Atherosclerotic Stenosis

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2023
Objective: This study seeks to evaluate the value of the high-frame-rate vector flow imaging technique in assessing the hemodynamic changes of carotid atherosclerotic stenosis in aging people (>60 years old).

Long-term risk of carotid restenosis in patients randomly assigned to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy in the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS): long-term follow-up of a randomised trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background In the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS), early recurrent carotid stenosis was more common in patients assigned to endovascular treatment than it was in patients assigned to endarterectomy (CEA), raising ...
