Stenting is an alternative to endarterectomy for treatment of carotid artery stenosis, but long-term efficacy uncertain. We report data from the randomised International Carotid Study comparison these treatments.Patients with symptomatic stenosis were randomly assigned 1:1 open stenting or at 50 centres worldwide. Randomisation was computer generated centrally and allocated by telephone call fax. Major outcomes assessed independent endpoint committee unaware assignment. The primary fatal...

Atherosclerotic lesions are known for their cellular heterogeneity, yet the molecular complexity within cells of human plaques has not been fully assessed. Using single-cell transcriptomics and chromatin accessibility, we gained a better understanding pathophysiology underlying atherosclerosis. We performed RNA ATAC sequencing on carotid atherosclerotic to define at play determine transcriptomic epigenomic characteristics. identified 14 distinct cell populations including endothelial cells,...
Atherosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid artery is an important cause stroke. The aim this guideline to analyse evidence pertaining medical, surgical and endovascular treatment patients with stenosis. These guidelines were developed based on ESO standard operating procedure followed Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development, Evaluation (GRADE) approach. working group identified relevant questions, performed systematic reviews meta-analyses literature, assessed quality...
Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes is a condition associated with state of low-grade inflammation caused by adipose tissue dysfunction and insulin resistance. High sensitive-CRP (hs-CRP) marker for systemic higher plasma levels have been cardiovascular events in various populations. The aim the current study to evaluate relation between hs-CRP incident all-cause mortality high-risk type patients. Methods Prospective cohort 1679 patients included Second Manifestations ARTerial disease...
Abstract Atherosclerosis is a lipid-driven chronic inflammatory disease; however, whether it can be classified as an autoimmune disease remains unclear. In this study, we applied single-cell T cell receptor seqencing (scTCR-seq) on human carotid artery plaques and matched peripheral blood mononuclear samples to assess the extent of TCR clonality antigen-specific activation within various subsets. We observed highest degree plaque-specific clonal expansion in effector CD4 + cells, these...
