Background Randomised trials have reported higher stroke/death rates after carotid artery
stenting (CAS) versus carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Despite this, the 2011 American Heart …

Background Age was reported to be an effect-modifier in four randomised controlled trials
comparing carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA), with better CEA …

Acute carotid stent thrombosis (ACST) is a rare complication that can lead to dramatic and
catastrophic consequences. A rapid diagnosis and prompt recanalization of the internal …

Objectives Stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and death are complications of carotid artery

Aims: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is still associated with higher periprocedural
cerebrovascular events (CEs) compared to vascular surgery. The Roadsaver carotid artery …

Background Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA)
for the treatment of carotid stenosis, but safety and long-term efficacy were uncertain …

Objectives The aim was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of heparin reversal with
protamine after completion of carotid endarterectomy (CEA), summarising the available data …

There has been a growing interest in using intraoperative neuromonitoring to reduce the
incidence of stroke and paralysis in major vascular interventions. Electroencephalography …

This overview analyses gender differences in prevalence, epidemiology, risk factors and
therapy in patients with carotid stenosis in a systematic review. Ischemic stroke is a leading …

Aims Several randomized trials of patients with carotid stenosis show increased adverse
neurological events with stenting versus endarterectomy in the 30-day post-procedure. This …
