Correspondence on "Unplanned readmission after carotid stenting versus endarterectomy: analysis of the United States Nationwide Readmissions Database" by Nazari et al
We read the article by Nazari et al1 comparing carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting. Most of the patients in the article were asymptomatic patients. Asymptomatic carotid stenosis is considered one of the most significant causes of ischemic stroke. The management of asymptomatic carotid stenosis ranges from open surgical approaches to minimally invasive endovascular interventions and medical therapeutics.2 With the advances in the neurosurgical field within the last decade, various surgical interventions have emerged. However, to date, the evidence regarding the optimal interventional strategies for asymptomat...

Unplanned readmission after carotid stenting versus endarterectomy: analysis of the United States Nationwide Readmissions Database
Conclusions Readmission is not uncommon after carotid revascularization, occurs more often after CAS, and is predicted by baseline factors and by preventable adverse events at initial admission.

Correlation between intracranial vertebral artery stenosis diameter measured by digital subtraction angiography and cross-sectional area measured by optical coherence tomography
Conclusion Measurement of the narrowest diameter was not a reliable predictor of the cross-sectional area of V4 stenosis. Larger studies are therefore needed to develop a new evaluation system based on V4 stenosis.
