Aim To investigate whether lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI+) after carotid artery
stenting (CAS) or endarterectomy (CEA) might provide a surrogate outcome measure for …

Objectives Peri-procedural ischaemic brain lesions on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI)
after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) have been related to a …

Objective In the present report, we have described the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical
effects of coronary artery disease (CAD) for patients with asymptomatic bilateral carotid …

Aims: Coronary artery atherosclerosis in patients needing carotid revascularization has not
been fully clarified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stenotic severity and plaque …

Background Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been the standard treatment for carotid
stenosis because it is less invasive; however, the risk of periprocedural thromboembolism is …

Introduction: With the advent of endovascular thrombectomy (ET), patients with acute
ischaemic strokes (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO) have seen vast improvements in …

Background Endovascular thrombectomy (ET) has transformed acute ischemic stroke (AIS)
therapy in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO). Left ventricular systolic dysfunction …

Background: The occurrence of ischemic lesions is common in patients receiving carotid
artery stenting (CAS), and most of them are clinically silent. However, few studies have …

Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is relatively common worldwide and an important
risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It is closely linked to arterial stiffness of the carotid …

Background: Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) may induce cerebral hypoperfusion. Early-phase
