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]

Spontaneous preoperative microembolic signals detected with transcranial Doppler are associated with vulnerable carotid plaque characteristics.
Conclusion: Spontaneous MES were detected in 26% of symptomatic patients scheduled for CEA and were associated with unstable carotid plaque characteristics. TCD might be a useful tool to help identify patients with vulnerable plaques. PMID: 23817452 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
