Predictors of Restenosis Following Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting Brief Reports
Conclusions— Carotid restenosis after carotid angioplasty is associated with ipsilateral stroke occurrence. In our sample, hypertension, angioplasty without stent, and impaired vasoreactivity identify patients at high risk of restenosis and could help to select patients for follow-up ultrasonography imaging.

Geographic and Sex Difference in the Distribution of Intracranial Atherosclerosis in China Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— There exists geographic and sex difference in the distribution of symptomatic ICAS in China. Public health measures should strengthen improving social determinants of health and risk factor prevention/control in high-risk populations for decreasing stroke risk.
