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: To determine whether MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein 1) levels in
human atherosclerotic plaques associate with plaque vulnerability features. Approach and …

Background Peripheral artery disease ( PAD ) is one of the most common clinical presentations
of atherosclerosis, and its prevalence is still increasing. Despite improvement of health …

BACKGROUND: Effectiveness of carotid procedures (surgery and stenting) in patients with
asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (ACAS) depends on the absolute risk reduction that …

Objective Near occlusion (NO) of the internal carotid artery (ICA) with full collapse (NOFC) is
a rare condition, with a prevalence of around 1%. Guidelines on carotid stenosis …

Although very rare, aneurysms of the extracranial carotid artery (ECAA) are important to
identify and treat. Due to limitations in the literature consisting mostly of case reports and small …

BACKGROUND: Epigenetic age estimators (clocks) are predictive of human mortality risk.
However, it is not yet known whether the epigenetic age of atherosclerotic plaques is …

BACKGROUND: Carotid artery revascularization can result in new ischemic brain lesions
on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. This study aimed to investigate the …

Background Recently, we have shown that intraplaque mast cell numbers are associated
with atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability and with future cardiovascular events, which renders …

INTRODUCTION: To systematically review the literature on medical adjunctive therapy for
patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: MEDLINE, …
