A comparative effectiveness study of carotid intervention for long-term stroke prevention in patients with severe asymptomatic stenosis from a large integrated health system
CONCLUSIONS: In this contemporary cohort study of patients with ACS utilizing rigorous analytic methodology, CEA appears to have a small but statistically significant effect on stroke prevention out to 8 years. Further study is needed to appropriately select the subset of patients most likely to benefit from intervention.PMID:37406943 | DOI:10.1016/j.jvs.2023.06.024

Immune cells in carotid artery plaques: what can we learn from endarterectomy specimens?
CONCLUSIONS: Since the destabilization of the atherosclerotic plaque is a multifactorial process, a combination of various methods should be used to characterize the unstable plaques more accurately. In this context, studies characterizing plaque content from a cellular point ofview could elucidate some processes underlying the plaque progression. Together with morphological evaluation, these analyses could enable more precise assessment of plaque stability. PMID: 31782285 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Carotid artery stenting
Learning objectives After reading this article the reader should:Know the appropriate diagnostic workup for patients with carotid artery disease. Be able to put in perspective, based on strengths and limitations, the results of randomised trials comparing carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy. Be able to identify patients that may benefit from carotid artery stenting. Introduction In western countries, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death, after heart disease, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases.1 Carotid artery disease may be responsible for 10–15% of all ischaemic strokes.2 Randomised contro...
