Angiographical Identification of Intracranial, Atherosclerosis-Related, Large Vessel Occlusion in Endovascular Treatment
Conclusions Among only a few identification methods, the ICAS-LVO can be feasibly identified by angiographical findings. The identification of ICAS-LVO based on based on occlusion type, is a reliable and practical identification method for ICAS-LVO. Procedural details by occlusion type and its predictability to endovascular results were reported. Furthermore, occlusion type can be determined before or in the early stages of the procedure, which may be most helpful in setting up an optimal endovascular treatment strategy. Author Contributions J-HB established the study idea, designed the manuscript structure, acquired an...

Plasma Metal Concentrations and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in Chinese Adults: The Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort
Conclusions: Our study suggested that incident CHD was positively associated with plasma levels of titanium and arsenic, and inversely associated with selenium. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings in other populations. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1521 Received: 22 December 2016 Revised: 17 September 2017 Accepted: 19 September 2017 Published: 19 October 2017 Address correspondence to T.

Early Outcomes After Carotid Artery Stenting Compared With Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— For asymptomatic carotid stenosis, CAS is associated with a substantially higher risk of postoperative stroke or in-hospital death than CEA even after adjustment for baseline differences in hospital and patient characteristics.

Ischemic complications after tailored carotid artery stenting in different subpopulations with high-grade stenosis: Feared but rare
Publication date: Available online 28 November 2014 Source:Journal of Clinical Neuroscience Author(s): José E. Cohen , J. Moshe Gomori , Eyal Itshayek , Stylianos Pikis , Galina Keigler , Roni Eichel , Ronen R. Leker Although the procedural and postoperative safety profile of carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been steadily improving, many centers still recommend carotid endarectomy (CEA) over CAS. We assessed outcomes (procedural and postoperative stroke) following tailored CAS in a cohort of patients managed at a single academic medical center. Outcomes for patients with carotid artery stenosis treated from 2005–2013...

Results of carotid angioplasty and stenting are equivalent for critical versus high-grade lesions in patients deemed high risk for carotid endarterectomy
Conclusions: Despite concerns regarding the potential for increased neurologic complications, our data demonstrate that patients with high-grade and critical stenosis are able to safely undergo CAS and achieve similar periprocedural outcomes and mid-term prognosis.
