Technical improvements in carotid revascularization based on the mechanism of procedural stroke.
In conclusion, this review provides an overview of the pathophysiological mechanism of stroke following carotid revascularization (both CAS and CEA) and of the technical improvements that have contributed to reducing this stroke risk. PMID: 30827087 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Carotid interventions (CEA and CAS) in acute stroke patients: which procedure on which patient.
Abstract Treatment of carotid bifurcation disease in patients presenting with acute stroke has been a controversial issue over the past four decades. Classically, patients were asked to wait four to six weeks before intervention was entertained in order for the brain to stabilize and the risks of intervention to be minimized. Unfortunately, up to 20% of patients will have a secondary event after their index event and the window of opportunity to save, potentially salvageable ischemic tissue will be missed. Early reports had demonstrated poor results with intervention. However, more recently, institutions such as o...

Identifying asymptomatic patients at high-risk for stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Results from ongoing large, multi-centre randomised clinical trials comparing carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting with good medical therapy may be consistent with earlier trials, showing a halving of the long-term risk of stroke following successful carotid revascularisation. However, they may well lack sufficient statistical power to identify higher-risk subgroups in whom the absolute gains of treatment are significantly higher. Large contemporary cohort studies are needed to provide further clarity regarding high-risk features associated with increased long-term stroke risk in asymptomatic pat...

Association between Circulatory and Plaque Resistin Levels with Carotid Plaque Instability and Ischemic Stroke Events.
CONCLUSION: The results suggests that serum resistin levels may be used as a potential biomarker of plaque vulnerability and ischemic stroke events in patients with moderate- to high-grade carotid artery stenosis and highlight the possible relationship that plaque resistin expression has with histological features of plaque vulnerability.

Degree of Carotid Artery Stenosis in Neurologically Asymptomatic Cardiac Surgical Patients Suffering from Perioperative Stroke: Results of an Observational Study.
Conclusion This observational study demonstrates that the degree of carotid stenosis in neurologically asymptomatic cardiac surgical patients is not able to predict the probability of perioperative stroke. Until further results from prospective randomized trials with neurologically asymptomatic cardiac surgical patients are presented, a cautious attitude for concomitant carotid endarterectomy is still justified.

Guideline on carotid surgery for stroke prevention: updates from the Italian Society of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery. A trend towards personalized medicine
CONCLUSIONS: This GL updates on the main recommendations for the most appropriate diagnostic and medical-surgical management of patients with atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis to prevent ischemic stroke. This GL also provides useful elements for the application of PM in good clinical practice.PMID:35848869 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.22.12368-2
