Stroke is a leading cause of death worldwide. Vascular calcification (VC), defined as
deposition of calcium-phosphate complexes in the vessels, is considered as the …

Vascular calcification is a complex molecular process that exhibits a number of relatively
characteristic morphology patterns in atherosclerotic plaques. Treatment of arterial stenosis …

In this work, the deployment of a self-expanding stent in a stenosed artery was evaluated
through finite element analysis. The three-layered structure of the artery and their material …

Background The aim of this study was to clarify both the present status of treatment for
carotid stenosis with highly calcified plaques and the appropriate treatment. Methods A total …

Objectives To assess feasibility, safety, angiographic, and clinical outcome of highly‐calcific
carotid stenosis (HCCS) endovascular management using CGuard™ dual‐layer carotid …

Objective Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has become an alternative strategy to carotid
endarterectomy for carotid artery stenosis. Residual stenosis was an independent risk factor …

Background: Unstable atherosclerotic carotid plaques cause cerebral thromboemboli and
ischemic events. However, this instability has not been pathologically quantified, so we …

Objectives The long-term durability of carotid artery stenting (CAS) may be determined by
various factors; however, residual stenosis is a known risk factor for in-stent restenosis. The …

Objectives Vascular calcification is a well-known phenomenon and affects coronary and
carotid arteries as well as other arterial beds. Presence of arterial calcification is associated …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to compare estimates of calcified plaque volume
in the carotid arteries based on contrast-enhanced dual-energy CT angiograms with volume …
