We report the efficacy of ultrasound in two cases of carotid artery stenting (CAS). During CAS, in-stent plaque protrusions were detected by percutaneous ultrasound, which was useful to observe the disappearance of plaque protrusions (PP), after balloon dilation or overlapping stent intervention, in real time. Using ultrasound during CAS provides an easy and non-invasive visualization of PP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
