Factors Influencing Decision Making for Carotid Endarterectomy versus Stenting in the Very Elderly
As the population ages worldwide, the number of elderly patients with carotid stenosis is also increasing. There have been many large clinical trials comparing carotid endarterectomy (CAE) versus stenting, but the inclusion criteria (i.e., symptomatic or

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Optima coils are a new type of embolic coils with complex and WAVE shape properties and variable degrees of softness. In patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms, we examined the safety (periprocedural complications) and efficacy (occlusion rate immediately postprocedure) of the Optima coil.
