Vulnerable carotid plaques are associated with the development of early restenosis after carotid endarterectomy
Background. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is widely recognised as an effective surgical method in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with significant internal carotid artery stenosis. Although the association between vulnerable carotid plaques and stroke is well established, little is known about their role in development of myointimal hyperplasia after carotid surgery. In the current study we aimed to establish correlation between plaque morphology (as observed by ultrasonic scan) and the degree of myointimal hyperplasia after CEA.

Survivor gives us a lens into regional systems of care for acute ischemic stroke in North Dakota
I just got back from the North Dakota Mission: Lifeline STEMI and Acute Stroke Conference in Bismark, ND. I had a great time and I learned a lot.

That turned out to be a good thing because it forced me to read the 2013 AHA / ASA Guildelines for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke to make sure I was asking intelligent questions during the panel discussion (which I moderated) and also giving accurate information for the class I taught about ...
