Symptomatic Carotid Atherosclerotic Disease: Correlations Between Plaque Composition and Ipsilateral Stroke Risk Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Features of the vulnerable carotid plaque, including plaque thrombus, low fibrous content, macrophage infiltration, and microvessel density, correlate with predicted stroke risk. This study provides a basis for plaque imaging studies focused on stroke risk stratification.

Deficiency of the Stroke Relevant HDAC9 Gene Attenuates Atherosclerosis in Accord With Allele-Specific Effects at 7p21.1 Basic Sciences
Conclusions— Our results suggest that HDAC9 represents the disease-relevant gene at the stroke and coronary artery disease risk locus on 7p21.1, and that risk alleles in this region mediate their effects through increased HDAC9 expression. Targeted inhibition of HDAC9 might be a viable strategy to prevent atherosclerosis.

Residual High-Grade Stenosis After Recanalization of Extracranial Carotid Occlusion in Acute Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— A residual high-grade stenosis of the extracranial ICA occurs in 1 of 6 patients with a symptomatic occlusion in the acute stage of cerebral ischemia. Because this may have implications for secondary prevention, we recommend follow-up imaging in these patients within a week after the event.

Nonstenotic carotid plaque on CT angiography in patients with cryptogenic stroke
Conclusions: Large but nonstenotic carotid artery plaque is considerably more common ipsilateral than contralateral to cryptogenic stroke, suggesting that nonstenotic plaque is an underrecognized cause of stroke. We measured plaque size using CT angiography, a method that could be easily implemented in clinical practice.

Risk of Stroke From New Carotid Artery Occlusion in the Asymptomatic Carotid Surgery Trial-1 Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— New occlusions were uncommon after carotid endarterectomy in ACST-1. During long-term follow-up, occlusion and stroke were commoner among patients with ≥70% stenosis, most of whom had not undergone carotid endarterectomy. Occlusion was an independent prognostic risk factor for occurrence of stroke.

Long-Term Outcome After Carotid Artery Stenting: A Population-Based Matched Cohort Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In this nationwide cohort study, CAS was associated with an increased long-term risk of ipsilateral stroke and death during after the perioperative phase when compared with CEA.

CYP2C19 Loss-of-Function Associated with First-Time Ischemic Stroke in Non-surgical Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis During Clopidogrel Therapy
This study measures effect ofCYP2C19 genotype on ischemic stroke risk during clopidogrel therapy for asymptomatic, extracranial carotid stenosis patients. Using deidentified electronic health records, patients were selected for retrospective cohort using administrative code for carotid stenosis, availability ofCYP2C19 genotype result, clopidogrel exposure, and established patient care. Patients with intracranial atherosclerosis, aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, prior ischemic stroke, or observation time<1 month were excluded. Dual antiplatelet therapy patients were included. Patients with carotid endarterectomy or ...

Short Time Interval Between Neurologic Event and Carotid Surgery Is Not Associated With an Increased Procedural Risk Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The time interval between the index event and carotid endarterectomy was not associated with the risk of any in-hospital stroke or death in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis in Germany. In clinically stable patients, carotid endarterectomy might, therefore, be performed safely as soon as possible after the neurological index event.

Reducing Delay of Carotid Endarterectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Nationwide Initiative Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Establishing time limits of 4 days to ultrasound examination of the carotids and of 2 weeks to CEA from onset of stroke followed by a systematic multidisciplinary monitoring and auditing of processes was associated with a substantial increase in the proportion of acute ischemic stroke patients who undergo CEA within 2 weeks in Denmark.

Recurrent stroke in symptomatic carotid stenosis awaiting revascularization: A pooled analysis
Conclusions: We found high risk of recurrent ipsilateral ischemic events within the 14-day time period currently recommended for CEA. Randomized trials are needed to determine the benefits and safety of urgent vs subacute carotid revascularization within 14 days after symptom onset.

Intraoperative Completion Studies, Local Anesthesia, and Antiplatelet Medication Are Associated With Lower Risk in Carotid Endarterectomy Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Local anesthesia, patch plasty compared with primary closure, intraoperative completion studies by duplex ultrasound or angiography, and perioperative antiplatelet medication were independently associated with lower in-hospital stroke or death rates after carotid endarterectomy.

Risk of Inhospital Stroke or Death Is Associated With Age But Not Sex in Patients Treated With Carotid Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic or Symptomatic Stenosis in Routine Practice: Secondary Data Analysis of the Nationwide German Statutory Quality Assurance Database From 2009 to 2014 Cardiovascular Surgery
ConclusionsThis study shows that increasing age, but not sex, is associated with a higher risk of in‐hospital stroke or death following carotid endarterectomy under everyday conditions in Germany. Whereas the risk of death (alone) is significantly associated with age, the association between age and the risk of stroke (alone) can be considered of minor importance.
