Contrast-enhanced ultrasound to predict the risk of microembolization during carotid artery stenting
Conclusion
Contrast enhancement of the carotid plaque is strongly associated with post-procedural microembolization and for this reason it can be considered a reliable tool for an accurate selection of patients undergoing this endovascular treatment. However, the neurocognitive test scores performed in this study are not enough sensible to appreciate the impact of the neurological injury on the day life activities.
