BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is one of the most
frequently performed operations in the United States. To offer patients a less invasive means …

Background and Purpose—Investigational carotid stenting for extracranial carotid stenosis
has demonstrated procedural results approaching those reported with endarterectomy, but …

evidence that the highest-risk period for stroke (after suffering a transient ischemic attack) is …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Small emboli arising from a friable plaque during carotid
endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stent placement (CAS) constitute a potentially …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: An effective intervention has not yet been established for
patients with acute ischemic stroke who present with serious neurologic symptoms due to …

Background and Purpose—Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is not necessarily beneficial in all
patients with symptomatic high-grade (≥ 70%) internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis …
