Background In the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS),
early recurrent carotid stenosis was more common in patients assigned to endovascular …

Background Endovascular treatment (angioplasty with or without stenting) is an alternative
to carotid endarterectomy for carotid artery stenosis but there are scarce long-term efficacy …

Background Intensive antiplatelet therapy with three agents might be more effective than
guideline treatment for preventing recurrent events in patients with acute cerebral ischaemia. …

In a prospective study of 157 patients (median age 73 years) admitted to hospital within 72
hours of acute cerebral hemisphere stroke, there was clinical evidence of homonymous …

Objectives: We examined the C-reactive protein (CRP) response after spontaneous intracerebral
hemorrhage (sICH) and its relationship to outcome. We additionally characterized early …

Background: Our aim was to determine whether filter protection reduces embolisation to the
brain during carotid artery stenting (CAS). Methods: Thirty patients with symptomatic carotid …

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 …

Background Findings from randomised trials have shown a higher early risk of stroke after
carotid artery stenting than after carotid endarterectomy. We assessed whether white-matter …

Background and Purpose— To assess the benefits of carotid artery stenting before coronary
artery bypass surgery to reduce the risk of stroke occurring during the cardiac procedure. …

Objective: Neuroprotection during carotid stenting has the potential to reduce procedural
atheroembolic sequelae. We report the United Kingdom experience of NeuroShield (MedNova …
