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.

Hyperhomocysteinemia and recurrent carotid stenosis [PDF]
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2008 Hyperhomocysteinemia has been identified as a potential risk for atherosclerotic disease in epidemiologic studies. This study investigates the impact of elevated serum homocysteine on restenosis after carotid endarterectomy (CEA).In a retrospective study, we compared fasting plasma homocysteine levels of 51 patients who developed restenosis during an ...

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting of carotid arteries: Early results [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2008 INTRODUCTION Treatment of carotid stenosis could be surgical: eversion endarterectomy, conventional endarterectomy and patch-plasty, resection with graft interposition and bypass procedure or, in the past few years, carotid artery angioplasty (PTA) with ...

Biomarkers of Carotid Stenosis [PDF]
Physical and rehabilitation medicine, medical rehabilitation, 2021 Early recognition of rupture-prone atherosclerotic lesions in patients with high-graded carotid stenosis is an important clinical problem for preventing ischemic stroke. Various pathophysiological mechanisms are responsible for the progression and instability of plaques, such as changes in lipid composition, infiltration by immunoinflammatory cells and

Secondary recurrent carotid stenosis [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1996 Recurrent carotid stenosis after carotid endarterectomy has been extensively reported. The occurrence, however, of another ipsilateral restenosis that requires a third carotid operation is rare. The purpose of this study was to evaluate possible risk factors and the most efficacious management of the patient with "secondary" recurrent carotid stenosis ...

Contemporary prevalence of carotid stenosis in patients presenting with ischaemic stroke
British Journal of Surgery, 2019 Carotid stenosis is a common cause of ischaemic stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Despite rising recognition and centralization of stroke services there has been a decline in interventions for carotid stenosis in recent years.
