Abstract Connexin 43 (Cx43) is essential to the function of the vasculature. Cx43 proteins
form gap junctions that allow for the exchange of ions and molecules between vascular cells …

Introduction Redo carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid stenting (CAS) are often
performed when there is evidence of post-procedural restenosis. The incidence of …

Background Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) remains the first-line treatment option of
symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis, while stenting (CAS) is reserved for …

Background: Carotid plaque morphology plays an important role in determining outcome of
carotid artery stenting (CAS). Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and its extension VH (Virtual …

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an increasingly pathological condition that commonly
affects the femoropopliteal arteries. The current fashionable treatment is percutaneous …

Restenosis is a severe complication after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
which limits the long-term efficacy of the intervention. In this study, we investigated the …

Objective Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is currently widely used for the treatment of carotid
artery stenosis. The objective of this study was to analyze the outcomes of CAS performed in …

The primary aim of the presented study is to analyze and compare the rate of carotid
restenosis in patients after eversion carotid endarterectomy (eCEA), primary carotid …

This study evaluated the impact of the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
on clinical and angiographic outcomes and long-term in-stent restenosis (ISR) rates in …

Carotid duplex ultrasound is commonly used to diagnose various carotid artery diseases
due to it being noninvasive and easy to perform. Carotid atherosclerosis is a major indicator …
