Successful Surgical Management of a Coincidence of Three-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease, Severe Carotid Atherosclerosis, and Carotid Paraganglioma: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
The patient was diagnosed with three significant pathologies, which were managed successfully in a single surgery. ABSTRACT Screening for carotid atherosclerosis is mandatory before coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Incidental pathologies, such as carotid paraganglioma, may be discovered rarely, complicating management.

European Stroke Organisation guideline on endarterectomy and stenting for carotid artery stenosis
Atherosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid artery is an important cause of stroke. The aim of this guideline is to analyse the evidence pertaining to medical, surgical and endovascular treatment of patients with carotid stenosis.

Supersulfide biology and translational medicine for disease control
Abstract For decades, the major focus of redox biology has been oxygen, the most abundant element on Earth. Molecular oxygen functions as the final electron acceptor in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, contributing to energy production in aerobic organisms. In addition, oxygen‐derived reactive oxygen species including hydrogen peroxide and nitrogen

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.

BACKGROUND Without strong evidence of benefit, the use of carotid endarterectomy for prophylaxis against stroke rose dramatically until the mid-1980s, then declined. Our investigation sought to determine whether carotid endarterectomy reduces the risk of

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that carotid endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic severe carotid stenosis (defined as stenosis of 70 to 99 percent of the luminal diameter) is beneficial up to two years after the procedure.

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

Stenting versus endarterectomy for treatment of carotid-artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND Carotid-artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy are both options for treating carotid-artery stenosis, an important cause of stroke. METHODS We randomly assigned patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid stenosis to undergo ...

Pseudoaneurysm post carotid artery endarterectomy is uncommon but with employment of a combined technique of trans‐cervical carotid artery stenting with open repair can lead to a successful outcome.
