As a common etiology for ischemic stroke, atherosclerotic carotid stenosis has been targeted
by vascular surgery since 1950s. Compared with carotid endarterectomy, carotid …

Objective Procedural characteristics, including stent design, may influence the outcome of
carotid artery stenting (CAS). A thorough comparison of the effect of stent design on outcome …

Restenosis typically occurs in regions of low and oscillating wall shear stress, which also
favor the accumulation of atherogenic macromolecules such as low‐density lipoprotein …

Purpose: To compare periprocedural complications and in-stent restenosis rates associated
with open-vs closed-cell stent designs used in carotid artery stenting (CAS). Methods: A …

Background Previous clinical studies have shown that the incidence of restenosis after
carotid and coronary stenting varies with stent design and deployment configuration. This …

Carotid stent angioplasty (CAS) has been shown to protect patient from future stroke long-
term efficacy similar to carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The risk of minor stroke in the …

Aim: To compare the periprocedural and clinical outcomes of different stent designs for CAS
with distal protection devices. Material and methods: All CAS procedures with both closed …

Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an effective way to prevent stroke in patients
with severe carotid stenosis. However, several studies comparing the outcomes of stenting …

Flexibility is a vital property of stents and different stent structures lead to different flexibility
behaviors. In this study, the finite element analysis was adopted and a virtual bending …

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that intraplaque hemorrhage is a predictor of restenosis
after carotid artery stenting (CAS), the association between intraplaque high-intensity signal …
