Predictive haemodynamics in a one-dimensional human carotid artery bifurcation. Part II: application to graft design [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Effects of Add‐On Icosapent Ethyl With Standard Treatment on Functional Outcomes and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ischemic stroke, a major cause of mortality and long‐term disability, results from the abrupt cessation of cerebral blood flow due to vascular occlusion or rupture. Icosapent Ethyl (EPA‐EE), approved for hypertriglyceridemia, has anti‐inflammatory and antithrombotic properties that may lessen ischemic damage.

Abstract 115: Carotid Intraluminal Thrombus Obscuring Underlying Carotid Web: Case Report

open access: yesStroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, 2023
Introduction Carotid webs (CaW) have been increasingly recognized as a unique cause of recurrent ischemic strokes.1 They are defined as thin, intraluminal, shelf‐like lesions along the posterior aspect of the carotid bulb.1,2 Despite more awareness and ...

Modern Management of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Meta‐Analysis of CREST‐2, SPACE‐2, and ECST‐2

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Recent randomized trials (CREST‐2, SPACE‐2, and ECST‐2) have compared carotid revascularization (carotid endarterectomy [CEA] or carotid artery stenting [CAS]) plus contemporary medical therapy (CMT) versus CMT alone in asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from the CHARGE consortium identifies common variants associated with carotid intima media thickness and plaque [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and plaque determined by ultrasonography are established measures of subclinical atherosclerosis that each predicts future cardiovascular disease events.

Abstract Number ‐ 232: Carotid Webs as an Under‐Reported Etiology of Acute Ischemic Stroke – Current Diagnostic Challenges

open access: yesStroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, 2023
Introduction Carotid webs are anatomical variants in the internal carotid artery vasculature that predispose patients to stroke. As of now, optimal treatment has yet to be established given the lack of large, randomized trials.

Performance Estimation and Ex Vivo Validation of Untethered Magnetic Robots in Soft Tissue

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an empirical model that quantitatively predicts the step‐out frequency of screw‐type untethered magnetic robots (UMRs) in soft viscoelastic environments, including ex vivo brain tissue. By integrating key parameters into a dimensionless framework, the model enables estimation of robot performance across a range of biological ...

S-Nitrosoglutathione reduces asymptomatic embolization after carotid angioplasty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Background: The major complication of carotid angioplasty is embolic stroke, which may occur after balloon inflation and deflation or in the early postintervention period.
