Carotid near-occlusion is distal ICA luminal collapse beyond a tight stenosis, where the
distal lumen should not be used for calculating percentage stenosis. Near-occlusion with full …

In Part 1 of this review, the definition, terminology, and diagnosis of carotid near-occlusion
were presented. Carotid near-occlusions (all types) showed a lower risk of stroke than other …

Purpose Create a new definition of near-occlusion with full collapse to predicting recurrent
stroke. Methods Pooled analysis of two studies. Patients with symptomatic≥ 50% carotid …

Introduction Carotid near-occlusion (CNO) is a variant of severe stenosis where there is a
distal luminal collapse of the internal carotid artery (ICA) beyond a tight stenosis. This study …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Carotid near-occlusion is defined as severe stenosis of
the internal carotid artery with partial or full collapse of the distal vessel wall. The major …

Objective Assess the sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography angiography (CTA)
for carotid near-occlusion diagnosis interpreted in clinical practice against expert …

Objective To assess the risk of recurrent ipsilateral ischemic stroke in patients with
symptomatic near-occlusion with and without full collapse. Methods Included were …

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Identification of carotid near-occlusion is essential before
calculation of percent stenosis because stroke risk is lower than other severe stenosis and …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Two large trials indicated that endarterectomy was less
beneficial for symptomatic patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) near occlusion than for …

Carotid near-occlusion is a frequently overlooked diagnosis when CTA examinations are
assessed in routine practice. To evaluate the potential value of phase-contrast MR imaging …
