2. Carotid stenting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_stenting

   Carotid artery stenting is an endovascular procedure where a stent is deployed within the lumen of the carotid artery to treat narrowing of the carotid artery and decrease the risk of stroke. It is used to treat narrowing of the carotid artery in high-risk patients, when carotid endarterectomy is considered too risky.

3. Carotid endarterectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_endarterectomy

   The carotid artery is the large vertical artery in red. The blood supply to the common carotid artery starts at the arch of the aorta (left) or the subclavian artery (right). The common carotid artery divides into the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery. Plaque often builds up at that division, and a carotid endarterectomy ...

4. Carotid artery stenosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_artery_stenosis

   All interventions for carotid revascularization (carotid endarterectomy, carotid stenting, and transcarotid artery revascularization) carry some risk of stroke; however, where the risk of stroke over time from medical management alone is high, intervention may be beneficial. Carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy have been found to ...

5. Restenosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restenosis

   Rates of restenosis differ between devices (e.g., stent-grafts, balloon angioplasty, etc.) and location of procedure (i.e., centrally located in the heart, such as the coronary artery, or in peripheral vessels such as the popliteal artery in the leg, the pudendal artery in the pelvis, or the carotid artery in the neck).

6. Vascular surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_surgery

   Carotid artery stenosis is caused by atherosclerosis whereby the buildup of atheromatous plaque inside the artery causes narrowing. Symptoms of carotid artery stenosis can include transient ischemic attack or stroke. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis can be diagnosed with the aid of carotid duplex ultrasound which allows for ...

7. Endovascular aneurysm repair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endovascular_aneurysm_repair

   After a few years, the survival after repair is similar to EVAR or open surgery. This observation may be the result of durability problems with early endograft, with a corresponding need for additional procedures to repair endoleaks and other device-related issues. Newer, improved technology may reduce the need for such secondary procedures.
