Medical management with intensive atherosclerosis risk factor modification is the cornerstone of treatment as it decreases both the incidence of stroke and events in other vascular arterial beds (e.g., myocardial infarction). While data support invasive revascularization of carotid artery stenosis in ...

Carotid artery stenosis, both symptomatic and asymptomatic, has been well studied with several multicenter randomized trials. The superiority of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) to medical therapy alone in both symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis has been well established in previous trials in...
Objective and Importance: Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) stenosis is a common condition with a high prevalence in the normal population and carries a high risk of stroke. Hemodynamic impairment has been proven to be a powerful and independent risk factor for stroke. Understanding the hemodynamics ...
