Computed poststenotic flow instabilities correlate phenotypically with vibrations measured using laser Doppler vibrometry : perspectives for a promising in vivo device for early detection of moderate and severe carotid stenosis [PDF]
Early detection of asymptomatic carotid stenosis is crucial for treatment planning in the prevention of ischemic stroke. Auscultation, the current first-line screening methodology, comes with severe limitations that create urge for novel and robust ...

Carotid artery stenting versus endarterectomy for treatment of carotid artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND Carotid artery stenting is an alternative to carotid endarterectomy for the treatment of atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis. This review updates a previous version first published in 1997 and subsequently updated in 2004, 2007, and 2012.

Hybrid treatment of symptomatic carotid disease
Hybrid treatment is a well reported technique for tandem carotid artery disease. Herein, we present a previously undescribed technique to facilitate safe passage of a guidewire via the inflow limb of the Pruitt-Inahara shunt in the proximal common ...

Numerical simulation of Nitinol peripheral stents: from laser-cutting to deployment in a patient specific anatomy [PDF]
The current clinical trend is to use percutaneous techniques, exploiting Nitinol self-expanding stents, to treat peripheral occluded vessels such as carotid or superficial femoral arteries.

Simulation of a mechanical thrombectomy device based in the use of self-expandable stents for the blood clots extraction [PDF]
Recently, we have presented some studies concerning the analysis, design and optimization of one experimental device developed in the UK - GPTAD - which has been designed to remove blood clots without the need to make contact with the clot itself ...

Prosthetic bypass for restenosis after endarterectomy or stenting of the carotid artery [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of prosthetic carotid bypass (PCB) with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in treatment of restenosis after CEA or carotid artery ...

Atherosclerotic narrowing (stenosis) of the internal carotid artery accounts for about 10–15% of ischaemic strokes. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) reduces the risk of stroke in patients with symptomatic stenosis and – to a lesser degree – with asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trials show higher 30-day risk of stroke or death after carotid artery stenting compared with surgery. We examined whether operator experience is associated with 30-day risk of stroke or death in the Carotid ...
