(ICA) stenosis progression. Methods This single-institution retrospective cohort study …

Objectives: to assess the incidence and the rate of progression of internal carotid artery
(ICA) stenosis and to determine the related risk factors. Design: open prospective study …

METHODS Over a 6-year period, our vascular laboratory registered 1727 patients with 50%
to 79% stenosis of the internal carotid artery. Of these, 272 patients who had undergone …

Background Although level 1 evidence supports carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for stroke
prevention in patients with asymptomatic severe carotid artery stenosis (ASCAS;> 70%) …

Purpose: The incidence rate of disease progression and stroke after the diagnosis of a
moderate (50% to 79%) carotid stenosis was determined by means of color-flow duplex …

Purpose: Although it has been widely accepted as the evidence supporting prophylactic
carotid endarterectomy, aspects of the Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis Study have left …

Introduction. This study identified characteristics of patients with moderate internal carotid
artery stenosis that are at increased risk for disease progression. Methods. Patients with …

Background: Moderate carotid artery stenosis is a poorly defined risk factor for ischemic
stroke. As such, practice recommendations are lacking. In this study, we describe the long …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the etiologic factors in the progression
of carotid stenosis. Methods: We performed prospective serial duplex scan surveillance of …
