Microemboli at the different stages of percutaneous transluminal carotid angioplasty and stenting in patients with post–carotid endarterectomy restenosis compared to primary stenosis
Abstract:Microembolization to cerebral arteries during percutaneous transluminal carotid angioplasty (PTCA) and stenting is well described, as well as different mural pathology in primary versus post-carotid endarterectomy (CEA) restenosis lesions. The purpose of this study is to investigate possible different patterns of embolization in regards to number and distribution of microembolic signals (high-intensity transient signals (HITS)) in patients with primary carotid stenosis and restenosis after CEA. We used transcr… Show more
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.
