BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Carotid angioplasty and stent placement are increasingly
being used for the treatment of symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery disease …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The clinical efficacy of filter devices in internal carotid
artery (ICA) stent placement has been a matter of controversy. The aim of this retrospective …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CAS carries an inherent risk of distal cerebral
embolization, precipitating new brain ischemic lesions and neurologic symptoms. Our …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have investigated the development of new ischemic brain
lesions on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) after carotid artery …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To assess by diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) the
efficacy of cerebral protection devices in avoiding embolization and new ischemic lesions in …

Background and purpose: Carotid angioplasty and stenting, a so far non-validated
procedure, may be an alternative to surgery in patients with a high surgical risk. However, it …

Background: Carotid-artery stenting (CAS) may be complicated by stroke. We aimed to
determine predictors of procedure-related ischemic events. Methods: We analyzed new …

Background and Purpose—Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) has a higher incidence
of periprocedural stroke compared with endarterectomy. Identifying CAS steps with the …

Background: Carotid stenting carries a risk of periprocedural stroke. We aimed at
determining predictors of cerebral ischemic events associated with stenting for symptomatic …

Purpose: To determine the incidence of symptomatic and asymptomatic cerebral ischemic
lesions found on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) after carotid …
