Carotid artery disease is a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the carotid arteries1. You have two common carotid arteries (see Figure 1. Common carotid artery), one on each side of your neck. They each divide into internal and external carotid arteries (see Fi...

For patients with severe carotid artery stenosis (including asymptomatic cases), immediate treatments should be performed in the hope of reducing the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, there is still some controversy in the study of the relationship between carotid ...

We performed a PubMed review of the published literature regarding sex-based differences in carotid disease and outcomes of CEA and CAS. Results Demographics of Stroke and Carotid Artery Stenosis in Women Women have a similar lifetime risk for stroke as men (16.1% vs 14.5%) but a greater ris...
In particular, a Type 2 bovine arch with left internal carotid artery (LICA) stenosis represents an indication for TRCAS, whereas right ICA (RICA) stenosis with Type 2 or 3 aortic arch is considered to be a favorable anatomy for transradial access. Ultimately, lack of other viable peripheral...
PubMed/Medline was searched up to March 25, 2010 for studies investigating the efficacy of CAS for the management of symptomatic carotid stenosis. Search terms used were “carotid artery stenting,”“symptomatic carotid artery stenosis,”“carotid endarterectomy,”“stroke,”“recurrent carotid stenosis...
Among patients assessed with carotid IMT, patients with internal carotid artery stenosis >50% were also excluded (n = 55) due to the lack of feasibility to measure carotid IMT accurately and well-known high risk of postoperative neurologic complications. A total of 407 patients were enrolled...
