DOI: 10.1002/bjs.11136
Abstract: Carotid stenosis is a common cause of ischaemic stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Despite rising recognition and centralization of stroke services there has been a decline in interventions for carotid stenosis in recent years.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2512
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Severe internal carotid stenosis, if left untreated, can pose serious risks for ischemic stroke and cognitive impairments. The effects of revascularization on any aspects of cognition, however, are not well understood, as conflicting results… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2019.09.003
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Von Willebrand factor (VWF) plays an important role in thrombogenesis and mediates platelet adhesion particularly under high shear stress. Such conditions are generally found in stenotic arteries and can eventually cause myocardial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2017.05.016
Abstract: BACKGROUND Many studies confirmed the role of early carotid endarterectomy (CEA) to prevent recurrent stroke or transient ischemic attack; however, the mid-long-term neurological benefit is still not completely investigated. The purpose of the study was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2020.12.027
Abstract: OBJECTIVE It is recommended that patients with ≥50% carotid artery stenosis undergo surveillance imaging and atherosclerotic risk reduction medical therapies, regardless of whether revascularization is performed. The objective of this study was to determine rates… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Cerebrovascular risk factors (eg, hypertension, coronary artery disease) and stroke can lead to vascular cognitive impairment. The Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis and Cognitive Function study evaluated the isolated impact of asymptomatic carotid stenosis (no prior… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2017.04.041
Abstract: Objective Asymptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion (CO) presents a clinical dilemma, and presently, the natural history, stroke risk, and optimal management remain ill defined. This study compared outcomes, including neurovascular events (NVEs) and health care… read more here.
