The management and prevention of strokes caused by carotid artery disease is distinct from
other causes of stroke as there is a wide range of procedural interventions available to …

Several multicentre, randomized trials have validated the efficacy of carotid endarterectomy
(CEA). Comparative randomized trials are also currently developing insight into the role of …

Purpose: To compare the operating characteristics of six noninvasive tests for carotid artery
stenosis. Data Sources: A structured search was done using MEDLINE, reference lists from …

OBJECTIVES: Ultrasound velocity criteria for the diagnosis of in-stent restenosis in patients
undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS) are not well established. In the present study, we …

Purpose: Duplex examination is today the principal initial method of assessing extracranial
carotid or vertebral artery disease. However, varying haemodynamic criteria have been …

The fifth edition of the classic, Haimovici's Vascular Surgery has been completely revised
and updated to reflect new discoveries in the field of Vascular Surgery. This edition features …

Background The mesenteric circulation has an extensive collateral network. Therefore,
stenosis in one or more mesenteric arteries does not necessarily lead to symptoms. The …

Purpose: This study compares the accuracy of various duplex parameters in grading
ipsilateral carotid stenoses in patients with contralateral severe stenoses or occlusion …

Background and Purpose—Carotid ultrasonography is being increasingly performed as the
sole investigation to assess internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. A potential source of error …

BACKGROUND: In the quest to use carotid duplex to assess carotid occlusive disease, it
has been reported that the current velocity criteria to calculate stenosis tends to overestimate …
