Correlation of ABCD2 Score with Degree of Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis: An Observational Pilot Study
Conclusions: Because no correlation between ABCD2 scores and the degree of ICA stenosis was found, all patients with carotid territory TIA should undergo urgent imaging of the carotid arteries because a high proportion of these patients may benefit from RACE.

Impact of Adding Aspirin to Beta-Blocker and Statin in High-Risk Patients Undergoing Major Vascular Surgery
In this study we evaluated the benefits of adding aspirin (A) to BB and S (ABBS), with/without angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) on postoperative outcome in high-risk patients undergoing major vascular surgery.Methods: Analysis of consecutive patients undergoing elective vascular surgery at the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center was performed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were done using cardiac risk index [Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI), coronary artery disease (CAD), insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), cerebral vascular disease, renal dysfunction, congestive heart failure, and m...

Immunological activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes points to lupus-related cause of stroke in lupus erythematosus
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at increased risk of 0.5% - 15% to acquire transient ischemic attacks or brain infarction [1]. The central question in a patient with either SLE or incomplete lupus erythematosus (ILE) is the cause, and the question: autoimmune related or induced by classical risk factors such as smoking, obesity, diabetes mellitus or patent foramen ovale (PFO) [2].

Do the technical features of carotid eversion affect early restenosis? Design of a prospective multicenter study
Myointimal hyperplasia restenosis remains a concern following carotid endarterectomy. It occurs in about 6% of people. The 3-year rate of stroke after restenosis is 5.2%. Several risk factors for restenosis have been identified, such as smoking, hypertension, female gender, diabetes, dyslipidemia, or small carotid diameter. The primary objective of this prospective multicenter study was to determine whether the technical characteristics of the eversion technique influence the 1-year rate of restenosis.
