Study on Evaluating the Effectiveness of Statins in the Treatment of Moyamoya Disease
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of statins in the treatment of moyamoya disease based on multimodal magnetic resonance imaging.
Predictive Value of Neovascularization Within Asymptomatic Carotis Stenosis on CEUS
Atherosclerosis is a chronic, systemic and progressive disease affecting different arterial blood vessels in the body. Atherosclerotic lesions silently progress from small plaques to severe stenosis and may remain asymptomatic for years. Unstable plaques and stenosis (also called vulnerable plaques), however, are prone to rupture leading to myocardial infarction, or …
Study of Carotid Artery Stenosis Through the Integration of Multimodal Imaging and Computational Fluid Dynamics
Ischemic stroke affects 2.5 to 3 million people annually in China, ranking as the leading cause of death and disability. Cervical artery stenosis is a significant contributor to this problem, with about 50% of patients experiencing cognitive impairment due to reduced cerebral blood flow. Two main surgical approaches, carotid endarterectomy …
Ocular Perfusion in Patients With Unilateral Carotid Artery Stenosis
The aim of the presented study is to evaluate ocular blood flow, respectively optic nerve head blood flow in patients with carotid artery stenosis before and after carotid endarterectomy or carotid artery stenting. Additionally, the investigators aim to compare optic nerve head blood flow in patients with CAS and healthy …
Gao's Triple Eversion Carotid Endarterectomy
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA), an important surgical approach for managing carotid plaque, has evolved over more than 70 years but still cannot be applied to all tandem carotid lesions (TCLs) because of the wide range of these lesions. Herein, the investigators introduce an innovative CEA, Gao's triple eversion CEA (GTE-CEA), for …
Prospective Trial of IVL for Calcified Carotid Lesions(CREATE Trial)(Extended Follow-Up)
Purpose: To assess the long-term safety and efficacy of the intravascular lithotripsy system for pre-treatment of calcified carotid artery stenosis. Design: Prospective, multicenter, single-arm study with an extended follow-up period. Sample Size: 204 participants (based on the final number of cases enrolled in the registration trial). Endpoints Primary: Surgical success …
The Management of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis
Carotid stenosis are asymptomatic if no hemispheric or retinal symptoms have appeared in the 6 months preceding the discovery of the stenosis. Asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) accounts for about ¾ of all carotid lesions. The goal of treating carotid stenosis is to prevent a stroke. While carotid surgery is recommended …
Super-resolution Clinical Brain Ultrasound
Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography with injection of contrast agent (intravenously to enhance the ultrasound signal) is a non-invasive technique that has been used for years to study intracranial vessels that constitute the polygon of Willis. However, this technique does not allow good visualization of small vessels, such as perforating arteries. Ultrasound …
Acute Stroke of CArotid Artery Bifurcation Origin Treated With Use oF the MicronEt-covered CGUARD (SAFEGUARD-STROKE)
Prospective, single-center, clinical registry of patients with acute stroke of carotid artery bifurcation origin undergoing endovascular treatment using the Micronet-covered CGUARD Stent to seal the culprit lesion under proximal cerebral protection (by transient flow reversal using balloon catheter such as the MoMa or FlowGate) with thrombus retrieval achieved through active …
The VANGAS-Trial. The Value of Neurofilament Light Chain and Glial Fibrillary Acid Protein in the Blood of Patients With Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability worldwide. The cause is usually either a blockage or a severe narrowing of a cerebral artery. An important part of stroke prevention is the diagnosis and clarification of stenosis in the arteries supplying the brain, …
