There was a dose-response relationship between degree of stenosis and risk of death ( P =0.002 for linear trend). Conclusion: Carotid stenosis as detected in a general population is a strong and independent predictor of death. Carotid stenosis was a stronger predictor of death than self-...
UltrasoundINTRODUCTION :To improve the accuracy of ultrasound techniques for the assessment of carotid stenosis, we designed a novel carotid artery stenosis ultrasound scale (CASUS), and evaluated its accuracy, reliability, and its value in predicting the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ...
Efficacy of treatment of severe carotid bifurcation stenosis by using self-expanding stents without deliberate use of angioplasty balloons BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: One of the limitations of carotid artery angioplasty is the potential for embolic stroke. Our purpose was to assess whether the for... SP...
The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound convened a multidisciplinary panel of experts in the field of vascular ultrasonography (US) to come to a consensus regarding Doppler US for assistance in the diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis. The panel's consensus statement is believed to represent a re...
Correct identification of intraplaque neovascularization by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) may provide an additional risk marker in carotid stenosis. This pilot study investigates the correlation between histological evaluation of carotid plaque specimens and pre-surgery CEUS to identify neovascularization....
Interobserver reproducibility of angiographic quantification of carotid stenoses was best for the CC and ECST methods and least for the NASCET method. Ultrasound demonstrated better accuracy than the ECST and CC methods. 展开 关键词: Key words Carotid stenosis Angiography Ultrasound ...
Surveillance Duplex Ultrasound After Carotid Endarterectomy: Contralateral Carotid Stenosis, Restenosis and CostSummary Background Data: The outcome of standard longitudinal carotid endarterectomy (CEA) can be measured by preservation of neurologic function with a low incidence of restenosis. Closure of the ...
OBJECTIVE: By simultaneously taking into account the natural attributes of the Doppler equipment, blood flow as well as vessel wall of pulsatile carotid arteries with a stenosis, a computer simulation method is presented to produce the compound Doppler ultrasound blood flow signals. METHODS: The in-...
Carotid ultrasonography (US) is most commonly performed to identify potential areas of flow-limiting stenosis in the internal carotid artery. Identification of stenosis and unstable plaque is important because these entities are leading predictors of stroke, the fourth most common cause of death in the...
Doppler Ultrasound Monitoring of Echogenicity in Asymptomatic Subcritical Carotid Stenosis and Assessment of Response to Oral Supplementation of Vitamin K2... Plaque composition may predict the evolution of carotid artery stenosis rather than its sole extent. The grey scale median (GSM) value is a repr...
