Background Several studies have shown a linkage between intraplaque neovascularization
(IPN) and plaque instability. Although contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) may help …

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS)
of carotid intraplaque neovascularization and ischemic stroke in transient ischemic attack …

BACKGROUND: Despite level 1 evidence in support of carotid endarterectomy vs medical
therapy in selected asymptomatic patients, an alternative posture is that optimal medical …

Objective Across stroke subtypes, carotid artery stroke carries the highest risk of recurrence.
Despite initiation of best medical therapy (BMT), some patients suffer recurrent neurological …

Carotid plaques with different degrees of carotid stenosis are a common condition in the
aged population (10% or more after age 75). If the definition of" symptomatic" carotid …

A group of 72 patients with 111 asymptomatic carotid stenoses (ACS), mean age
65.42±9.21, and a group of 36 patients with 58 symptomatic carotid stenoses (SCS), mean …

Correct stratification of ischemic stroke risk allows for the proper treatment of carotid
atherosclerotic disease. We seek to differentiate plaque types based on stenosis level and …

Abstract Background Recurrent TIAs are thought to signal a high stroke risk. The aim of this
study is to examine if repeated ischemic events increase the risk of recurrent ipsilateral …

The incidence of symptoms at the moment the internal carotid artery (ICA) occludes was
assessed in 33 patients. Duplex scanning was performed to determine the progression from …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Several prospective studies have shown that carotid
endarterectomy can reduce the risk for subsequent ischemic stroke in patients with 70‐99 …
