Correlation Between Intracranial Calcification and Extracranial Stenosis of the Internal Carotid Artery
We examined a population not selected for cerebral disease. This retrospective study contained 179 subjects aged 18 years and older from the Hawaii Diagnostic Radiology database. Extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis was determined using the absolute diameter, North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial, and common carotid artery methods. Calcification was scored using the modified Woodcock method. A positive correlation between intracranial calcification and extracranial carotid stenosis was found using all three methods. Individuals with intracranial calcification were more likely to be older, have a ...

Evidence of an anti-inflammatory effect of PCSK9 inhibitors within the human atherosclerotic plaque
CONCLUSIONS: The use of PCSK9 inhibitors is accompanied by a beneficial remodelling of the inflammatory burden within the human atheroma, an effect possibly or partly independent of their LDL-C lowering ability. This phenomenon might provide an additional cardiovascular benefit.PMID:37422356 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2023.06.971

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

Investigation of Combined Carotid Endarterectomy and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Outcomes and Adverse Event Risk Factors in the Vascular Quality Initiative
CONCLUSIONS: Combined CEA and CABG provides excellent long-term mortality prevention in patients with co-existing severe coronary and carotid atherosclerosis. Simultaneous CEA and CABG provides equivalent stroke prevention and long-term survival to both a cohort of patients undergoing coronary revascularization within 5 years of CEA and patients undergoing isolated CEA or CABG in the literature. The two most impactful modifiable risk factors towards long-term stroke and mortality prevention for patients undergoing simultaneous CEA-CABG are patch placement at CEA site and adherence to statin medication therapy.PMID:37303074...

Early postoperative outcome after carotid artery endarterectomy with bifurcation advancement
Conclusions: CEA with bifurcation advancement provides comparable perioperative results, focusing on combined stroke and mortality, but seems to have some technical drawbacks, which may lead to more frequent local neurological complications.PMID:37170543 | DOI:10.1024/0301-1526/a001074

The Value of Multimodal Ultrasonic Scoring System in the Diagnosis of Carotid Vulnerable Plaque: A Comparative Study with Pathology
CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound scoring system may be used as an effective method to evaluate the vulnerability of plaque. The diagnostic efficiency of PV-USS2D+CEUS is more higher than PV-USS2D .PMID:37087753 | DOI:10.1002/jum.16238

Carotid Endarterectomy Versus Stenting for the Treatment of Patients With Carotid Artery Stenosis: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Cureus. 2023 Feb 16;15(2):e35070. doi: 10.7759/cureus.35070. eCollection 2023 Feb.ABSTRACTCarotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgical procedure that treats the narrowed carotid arteries, which may be narrowed by atherosclerosis. Stenting is the insertion of a wire mesh scaffold into the narrowed portion of the carotid artery to keep it open by preventing blood from clotting. Using the study done over 10 years back as a point of reference, this study will seek an update on an assessment comparing CEA and stenting in studies carried out between 2015 and to date. The PICOS (population, intervention, control, outcome, and study...

Features of gas exchange and metabolism of the brain during revascularization of the carotid arteries
Bratisl Lek Listy. 2023 Feb 28. doi: 10.4149/BLL_2023_054. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe relevance of the stated topic of scientific research is determined by the fact that stroke is still the most important medical and social problem both in the world as a whole and in the Republic of Kazakhstan in particular due to high rates of morbidity, mortality, and disability. In addition, cerebrovascular diseases occupy one of the leading places in the structure of morbidity, disability and mortality, second only to coronary heart disease in Kazakhstan as well as around the world. The purpose of this research work is to study ...

Young Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy Have Increased Rates of Recurrent Disease and Late Neurologic Events
CONCLUSIONS: Young patients undergoing CEA are more likely to be African American, female, and active smokers. They are more likely to present symptomatically and undergo non-elective CEA. Although perioperative outcomes are similar, younger patients are more likely to experience carotid occlusion or restenosis as well as subsequent neurological events, during relatively short follow-up. These data suggest that younger CEA patients may require more diligent follow-up, and a continued aggressive approach to medical management of atherosclerosis to prevent future events related to the operated artery, given the particularly ...

Revascularization methods in patients with carotid stenosis and concomitant coronary heart disease
Folia Med (Plovdiv). 2023 Feb 28;65(1):7-15. doi: 10.3897/folmed.65.e69913.ABSTRACTA major feature of the atherosclerotic process is its systemic and progressive character. The plaque pathogenetic mechanisms, morphology, evolution, and predilection site (bifurcation zones) determine the frequent coincidence of carotid and coronary atherosclerosis in the same patient.The present overview chronologically traces the history, effectiveness, and benefit of surgical and continuously improving interventional carotid revascularization. It thereby analyzes the indications, results, and complications based on a number of randomized ...
