Carotid stenting the new anti-depressant?
Inserting a stent to open a narrowed carotid artery has been found to reduce symptoms of depression that may be associated with carotid stenosis, according to a study in the August issue of Radiology. view more (2006-07-25)
SAPPHIRE trial shows long-term benefit of carotid stenting as alternative to surgery
Carotid artery stenting is an effective option for high risk patients who are not eligible for surgery, according to a long-term study published in this week's New England Journal of Medicine. Carotid artery disease, which involves clogging of the arteries in the neck that provide blood to the brain, is a significant risk factor for stroke, making... view more... (2008-04-11)
Three-year SAPPHIRE and US carotid feasibility trials demonstrate durability of carotid stenting
Preliminary three-year data from the SAPPHIRE and final three-year data from the U.S. Carotid Feasibility Study (USFS) presented at the 2005 Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics meeting, demonstrate the long-term durability of carotid artery stenting (CAS) for the prevention of stroke versus carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in high risk surgical... view more...

2 carotid artery stenting studies show results comparable to AHA guidelines
Two carotid stenting trials examining patient outcomes demonstrated results that are comparable to guidelines established by the American Heart Association (AHA) for patients treated with carotid artery surgery. view more (2007-10-24)
Study reveals embolic neuroprotection system reduces risk of cardiac events
Results of a study on the use of the FiberNet® Embolic Protection System in carotid artery stenting were reported today during the 20th annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium, sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF). view more (2008-10-17)
Cerebral embolic protection and carotid stent systems
High-risk surgical patients in community hospital settings can safely benefit from the use of new embolus-removing and stent-inserting systems, according to a study presented today at the American College of Cardiology's Innovation in Intervention: i2 Summit in New Orleans, La. view more (2007-03-27)
Research sheds light on carotid artery stenting risk in elderly
Dr. Hernan Bazan, Assistant Professor of Surgery, Section of Vascular Surgery, at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans' School of Medicine, is the lead author of a research paper which may help physicians decide which patients with carotid artery occlusive disease should have carotid surgery or carotid stenting. view more (2007-11-02)
Vascular surgeons ask, what's next for carotid artery stenting?
A procedure called carotid artery stenting (CAS) has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, called carotid endarterectomy (CEA), for patients with dangerous narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the brain. view more (2008-01-17)
Surgery unnecessary for 95 percent of those with asymptomatic carotid stenosis
Research led by Dr. David Spence of Robarts Research Institute at The University of Western Ontario shows that with more intensive medical therapy, the risk of stroke has become so low that at least 95 per cent of patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) would be better off with medical therapy than with surgery or stenting. view more (2008-09-25)
Study finds stroke-prevention surgery safe in growing 80-plus population
New research published in the October issue of Journal of the American College of Surgeons challenges the current opinion that patients in their eighties, who are often deemed "high-risk" due to their advanced age, should not undergo carotid endarterectomy - a stroke-preventing surgical procedure that clears blockages from the neck's... view more...

Methamphetamine use increases risks of artery tears and stroke
Methamphetamine use may be associated with increased risks of major neck artery tears and stroke, according to an article published in the December 26, 2006, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. view more (2006-12-26)
Updated guideline: Carotid endarterectomy beneficial for stroke prevention in some patients
Carotid endarterectomy is the most frequently performed operation to prevent stroke. There is scientific evidence to support its use to prevent future stroke. view more (2005-09-27)
Risk of death increases with combined heart and stroke prevention surgery
Patients who undergo combined heart bypass surgery and carotid endarterectomy, the most commonly used stroke prevention surgery, significantly increase their chances of death or stroke. view more (2007-01-16)
For high-risk patients, stroke-prevention surgical procedure does not equate with high surgical risk
New research published in the August issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons shows that "high-risk" patients with multiple medical conditions, including high blood pressure and coronary artery disease, can safely undergo carotid endarterectomy - a stroke-preventing surgical procedure that clears blockages from the neck's... view more...

Warning over heart patients denied most appropriate treatment
Thousands of patients with heart disease may be denied the best chance of survival because of uncertainty over the most suitable treatment option, warns a cardiac surgeon in this week's BMJ. view more (2007-03-23)
'Stent-Graft' procedure improves outcomes of carotid aneurysm repair
For patients with life-threatening aneurysms of the carotid artery in the neck, a minimally invasive stent-grafting technique can be just as effective as traditional open surgery, but with faster recovery and fewer complications, according to a study in the March Journal of Vascular Surgery. view more (2006-03-08)
SURGERY OR ANGIOPLASTY FOR REDUCING STROKE FROM CAROTID STENOSIS? (pp 1722, 1729)
A non-surgical approach for preventing stroke for patients with partial blockage of the carotid artery might have similar long-term outcomes and fewer complications than standard surgical techniques, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (balloon dilation) and stenting (insertion of a... view more... (2001-05-31)
Study shows safety and efficacy of blood flow reversal system used during carotid stenting
Results of a study on an embolic protection system during carotid stenting that uses a novel blood flow reversal system was reported today during the 20th annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium, sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF). view more (2008-10-17)
Standards for measuring narrowing of carotid arteries too aggressive
Standards for the use of ultrasound as a screening tool to measure narrowing of the carotid artery may be too aggressive, resulting in some needless follow-up tests and procedures. view more (2007-06-08)
Blood vessels: The pied piper for growing nerve cells
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered that blood vessels in the head can guide growing facial nerve cells with blood pressure controlling proteins. The findings, which suggest that blood vessels throughout the body might have the same power of persuasion over many nerves, are published this week in Nature. view more (2008-04-11)
