Carotid Endarterectomy Following Intravenous Thrombolysis in the UK
CONCLUSION: The use of ivTT before CEA in stroke patients was not associated with an increased risk of 30 day stroke, but there was an increase in the risk of neck haematoma.PMID:34088616 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2021.03.033

Carotid artery disease: clinical features and management
The most common cause of ischaemic carotid territory stroke, around 50% of cases, is thromboembolism from stenoses at the origin of the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA). Embolism is usually preceded by acute changes in plaque morphology, which predisposes towards overlying thrombus formation and embolization. The management of patients with carotid artery disease involves cardiovascular risk factor modification, antiplatelet and statin therapy in everyone. There is grade A, level I evidence that recently symptomatic patients with 50 –99% stenoses gain significant benefit from carotid endarterectomy (CEA), despi...

Virtual Transcriptomics: Noninvasive Phenotyping of Atherosclerosis by Decoding Plaque Biology From Computed Tomography Angiography Imaging
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this pilot study show that atherosclerotic plaque phenotyping by image analysis of conventional computed-tomography angiography can elucidate the molecular signature of atherosclerotic lesions in a multiscale setting. The study holds promise for optimized personalized therapy in the prevention of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke, which warrants further investigations in larger cohorts.PMID:33691476 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.121.315969

Posterior Cerebral Circulation Stroke Secondary to Foetal Origin of Posterior Communicating Artery: an Indication for Carotid Endarterectomy
Posterior cerebral circulation strokes are most commonly caused by posterior vasculature in situ thrombosis, cardiac emboli, or arterial dissection. However, the foetal origin of the posterior communicating artery is an anatomical variant of the cerebral circulation that results in communication between the internal carotid and posterior cerebral circulation. This can, therefore, rarely result in posterior cerebral territory infarction from internal carotid artery thromboembolism. This is a report of a case in which a patient suffered posterior circulatory stroke secondary to this anatomical variation of the circle of Willis.

Red and White Thrombus Characteristics in Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy
Ischemic heart disease and stroke, which are associated with atherosclerosis in the coronary and carotid arteries, accounted for one-third of deaths worldwide.1 The stroke type can be ischemic or hemorrhagic. Hemorrhagic stroke is divided into intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage types. Ischemic stroke occurs because of small vessel occlusion, large artery atherosclerosis, cardiogenic embolism, and other causes.2 Ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) usually arise from unstable carotid lesions, which cause thrombus formation or carotid artery occlusion.

Completion imaging techniques and their clinical role after carotid endarterectomy: Systematic review of the literature.
CONCLUSION: Completion imaging techniques can detect defects in almost 10% of patients that may lead to immediate intra-operative surgical revision with low intra-operative stroke/transient ischemic attack rate and low early carotid restenosis. During the 30-day follow-up period, in those patients, the incidence of stroke/transient ischemic attack may be low but present. This review cannot provide any evidence on which completion imaging technique is better, and the clinical impact conferred by each technique in the absence of a randomized control studies.
