Objective: Currently our standard of practice is that patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS) may be safely discharged on the first day post-procedure. However, many patients are completely independent on the evening of procedure. Therefore we sought to establish the safety and feasibility ...
However lack of data to support the necessity of that prompted vascular surgeons to do only limited external carotid endarterectomy regardless of its degree of stenosis.[1] The anastomosis between the middle meningeal artery (a branch from the maxillary artery) and the ophthalmic artery is a ...
