Preischemic Neuroprotective Effect of Minocycline and Sodium Ozagrel on Transient Cerebral Ischemic Rat Model.
This study showed that single doses of minocycline and ozagrel prior to stroke had neuroprotective effects. These agents will be useful not only in post-stroke therapy but also in stroke prevention in several cerebrovascular procedures like carotid endarterectomy, bypass procedure, endovascular angioplasty, thromboembolectomy or thrombolysis.

Early Outcomes After Carotid Artery Stenting Compared With Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— For asymptomatic carotid stenosis, CAS is associated with a substantially higher risk of postoperative stroke or in-hospital death than CEA even after adjustment for baseline differences in hospital and patient characteristics.

Complication Rates and Center Enrollment Volume in the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy Versus Stenting Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Complication rates were low in CREST and were not associated with center enrollment volume. The data are consistent with the value of rigorous training and credentialing in trials evaluating endovascular devices and surgical procedures.

Picking the Good Apples: Statistics Versus Good Judgment in Choosing Stent Operators for a Multicenter Clinical Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The low periprocedural event rates in the trial suggest success in separating skillful operators from less skillful. However, it seems unlikely that statistical assessment of event rates in the lead-in contributed to successful selection, but rather successful selection was more likely because of peer review of subjective and other factors including patient volume and technical approaches.

Long-Term Follow-Up Study of Endarterectomy Versus Angioplasty in Patients With Symptomatic Severe Carotid Stenosis Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The long-term benefit–risk balance of carotid stenting versus endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis favored endarterectomy, a difference driven by a lower risk of procedural stroke after endarterectomy. Both techniques were associated with low and similar long-term risks of recurrent ipsilateral stroke beyond the procedural period. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00190398.

Evaluation of Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting for Radiation-Induced Carotid Stenosis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The safety, effectiveness, and technical difficulty of carotid angioplasty and stenting for RIS are comparable with that for AS although it is associated with a higher rate of ISR. Clinical Trial Registration— This trial was not registered as enrollment started in 2006.

The Cost Per Stroke Prevented (CPSP) from Symptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis in Ontario, Canada (S51.006)
CONCLUSIONS: The CPSP if done within the recommended time-frame for our virtual population would be $25,326. Recent data from Ontario demonstrates that between 8-36% of carotid artery revascularizations occur within the suggested timeframe. Most carotid artery revascularizations in Ontario have a CPSP of $75,978 (median time for revascularization is between 1-3 months). This represents a clear inefficiency in the system. Further research and government wide initiatives could be aimed at increasing the awareness of the CPSP in order to facilitate policy makers and other stakeholders to develop pathways to ensure prompt trea...

Predictors of Acute and Persisting Ischemic Brain Lesions in Patients Randomized to Carotid Stenting or Endarterectomy Brief Reports
Conclusions— Stenting caused more acute and persisting ischemic brain lesions than endarterectomy. However, the rate of conversion from acute to persisting lesions was lower in the stenting group, most likely attributable to lower acute lesion volumes.
