Leukocyte count predicts microembolic Doppler signals during carotid stenting: a link between inflammation and embolization.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Protected stenting has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to endarterectomy for the treatment of carotid stenosis in patients at high operative risk. Distal microembolization occurs invariably during carotid stenting. Little is known about the relationship between systemic inflammation and embolization during carotid stenting. METHODS We examined 43 consecutive...
متن کاملPreliminary report of detecting microembolic signals in transcranial Doppler time series with nonlinear forecasting.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Most algorithms used for automatic detection of microembolic signals (MES) are based on power spectral analysis of the Doppler shift. However, controversies exist as to whether these algorithms can replace the human expert. Therefore, a different algorithm was applied that takes advantage of the periodicity of the MES. This so-called nonlinear forecasting (NLF) is able to...
متن کاملRetinal artery embolization after carotid artery stenting: report of a case and review of literature
Background: Retinal artery occlusion is an uncommon but serious complication during carotid artery stenting (CAS) for carotid artery stenosis, which induces the visual defect in patients. Case presentation: A 74-yearold man was admitted to our hospital because of intermittent dizziness and limb weakness in the past one month. Cerebral angiography revealed 86% stenosis on the start of the right ...
متن کاملBranch retinal artery occlusion following carotid stenting: A case report.
A 70 year old male was diagnosed with carotid stenosis and underwent carotid artery stenting (CAS). Severe postoperative complications arose subsequent to the procedure, including decreased visual acuity and symptoms of a visual field defect, and the patient was eventually diagnosed with retinal artery embolism. CAS reduces carotid plaque; however, the subsequent shedding of carotid plaque may ...
متن کاملAssociation between high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and/or microembolic signals after carotid angioplasty and stenting
Background: To evaluate the association between pre/post-procedural high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level and hs-CRP difference, and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or new diffusion-weighted MRI lesions after carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). Methods: In this study, conducted in 2016 in Shiraz (Iran), patients who underwent diagnostic angiography and CAS...
