Staged carotid artery stenting in patients with severe carotid stenosis: Multicenter experience.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is serious complication after carotid artery stenting (CAS) caused by decreased cerebral vasoreactivity (CVR) due to long standing hypoperfusion of the brain. We hypothesized that partial dilatation of carotid stenosis would allow the recovery of CVR, and

The use of high-resolution MRI to detect thrombosis and lipid-rich carotid artery plaques in a patient with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is a rarely agentic disorder of the lipoprotein metabolism intimately related to premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease that can lead to high disability and mortality. Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia typically affects not only the aortic

[Internal carotid stenosis and giant cell arteritis].

We report on the case of a 69-year-old man admitted with a transient ischemic attack preceded by a two months history of severe headache. Giant cell arteritis was diagnosed by means of temporal artery biopsy. Angiography showed an intra- and extracranial stenosis of the left internal carotid artery.

[Presurgical endovascular treatment of symptomatic carotid stenosis caused by a meningioma of the planum sphenoidale].

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Cerebral infarction is a very rare presenting symptom of a meningioma. This form of clinical onset poses the challenge of treating ischaemic events before dealing with the tumour surgically. METHODS A 48-year-old woman from Georgia who visited due to loss of strength in the right-hand

Severe symptomatic intracranial internal carotid artery stenosis treated with intracranial stenting: a single center study with 58 patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of intracranial stenting in a population with severe (≥ 70%) symptomatic intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) atherosclerotic stenosis. METHODS Fifty-eight patients with severe intracranial ICA atherosclerotic stenosis were

Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome: an etiology of seizures following carotid endarterectomy.
