Objective Recommendations for use of carotid bifurcation imaging in symptomatic and
asymptomatic patients were published by the Society for Vascular Surgery in 2011. The aim …

Transluminal arterial stenting reduces vessel compliance and may alter accurate
interpretation of flow velocities. We reviewed duplex ultrasonography (DUS) following …

We described 9 consecutive patients who underwent operative carotid artery exploration
with attempted carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) …

Objective Asymptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion (CO) presents a clinical dilemma,
and presently, the natural history, stroke risk, and optimal management remain ill defined …

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

The current study was conceived to evaluate the feasibility of developing a diagnostic
algorithm for carotid bifurcation disease predicated exclusively upon carotid duplex …

Perioperative stroke following carotid endarterectomy is reported to occur in 3–20% of
patients and may be associated with spontaneous development of thrombus at the operation …

Background: The clinical outcome in patients with stroke associated with internal carotid
artery (ICA) occlusion is poor, although a minority may recover without dependency. The …

OBJECTIVES:: Occluded internal carotid arteries imply a high risk of ischaemic
complications, but an “occluded” carotid artery is not always totally occluded. Pseudo-and …

Importance Many patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis are offered carotid stenting for
the prevention of carotid occlusion. However, this treatment may be inappropriate if the risk …
