Key Clinical Points Carotid Stenosis Carotid artery disease is a common cause of stroke and
should be assessed by means of one of several readily available noninvasive tests in all …

Background Extracranial atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid bifurcation cause 10% to 20%
of all cases of cerebral ischemia. Until now, there have been no comprehensive evidence …

OBJECTIVE: Among patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis, carotid artery stenting
(CAS) is associated with a higher risk of periprocedural stroke or death than carotid …

OBJECTIVE: Outcomes in the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting
Trial (CREST) did not differ between carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid …

Purpose To present a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the incidence of
carotid artery stenting (CAS)–induced hemodynamic instability (HI) and to explore …

transcranial Doppler (TCD) in relation to electroencephalography (EEG) changes for the …

Background and Purpose—In a substudy of the International Carotid Stenting Study (ICSS),
more patients had new ischemic brain lesions on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance …

Background Findings from randomised trials have shown a higher early risk of stroke after
carotid artery stenting than after carotid endarterectomy. We assessed whether white-matter …

Background—Meta-analyses of randomized trials have shown an increased risk of
periprocedural stroke after carotid artery stenting (CAS) compared with carotid …

Transient ischemic attack represents a medical emergency and warns of an impending
stroke in roughly one-third of patients who experience it. The risk of stroke is highest in the …
