Internal carotid artery stenosis
MONDO:0005189Carotid stenosis is a narrowing or constriction of the inner surface (lumen) of the carotid artery, usually caused by atherosclerosis. The internal carotid artery supplies the brain. Plaque often builds up at that division, and causes a narrowing (stenosis). Pieces of plaque can break off and block the small arteries above in the brain, which causes a stroke. Plaque can also build up at the origin of the carotid artery at the aorta.

Ultrasound during artery stenting may cut stroke risk
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether using ultrasound (TCD) during and after carotid artery stenting can reduce small brain injuries caused by clots. About 232 people with severe carotid artery narrowing will be randomly assigned to receive stenting with or without TCD. The goal is to see if…
