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 ...

Protected carotid-artery stenting versus endarterectomy in high-risk patients.
BACKGROUND Carotid endarterectomy is more effective than medical management in the prevention of stroke in patients with severe symptomatic or asymptomatic atherosclerotic carotid-artery stenosis. Stenting with the use of an emboli-protection device is a

Endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis
Reasonable doubt justifies randomisation European and North American clinicians have always differed in their management of carotid artery disease.1 Carotid endarterectomy is one of the commonest vascular procedures in North America, with over 360 ...

Pulmonary endarterectomy in the management of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a type of pulmonary hypertension, resulting from fibrotic transformation of pulmonary artery clots causing chronic obstruction in macroscopic pulmonary arteries and associated vascular remodelling ...

Long-Term Results of Stenting versus Endarterectomy for Carotid-Artery Stenosis.
BACKGROUND In the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial, we found no significant difference between the stenting group and the endarterectomy group with respect to the primary composite end point of stroke, myocardial infarction,

Background— Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension results from incomplete resolution of pulmonary emboli. Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is potentially curative, but residual pulmonary hypertension following surgery is common and its impact on ...

Carotid Endarterectomy and Carotid Artery Stenting in the US Medicare Population, 1999-2014
Importance Carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting are the leading approaches to revascularization for carotid stenosis, yet contemporary data on trends in rates and outcomes are limited. Objective To describe US national trends in performance

Macrophage HM13/SPP Enhances Foamy Macrophage Formation and Atherogenesis
Previous research suggests that AIP may prevent atherogenic foamy macrophage formation. This study reveals that AIP, via its chaperone interaction with AHR, inhibits p38‐c‐JUN‐mediated transactivation of HM13, which encodes the ERAD protease HM13/SPP. HM13/SPP promotes foamy macrophage formation in addition to atherogenesis and plaque foamy macrophage ...

Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis.
BACKGROUND Severe narrowing (stenosis) of the carotid artery is an important cause of stroke. Surgical treatment (carotid endarterectomy) may reduce the risk of stroke, but carries a risk of operative complications.
