Background: Proximal carotid tandem lesions are defined as multilevel lesions with significant (> 50%) atherosclerotic disease involving the internal carotid artery (ICA) in combination with the proximal ipsilateral common carotid artery (CCA) or innominate artery (IA). It is a relatively rare disease with an incidence of less than 5% in all patients with carotid stenosis at the level of the bifurcation.
Methods: These patients are at high surgical risk and were, therefore, excluded from current randomized controlled trials.
Article Synopsis
- The research investigates how brain connectivity patterns differ between individuals at risk for cannabis use disorder (CUD) and control subjects, particularly focusing on time-varying functional connectivity (FC).
- Participants underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, revealing that those at risk for CUD demonstrated prolonged engagement in certain brain states and more dynamic changes between different brain networks compared to controls.
- These findings indicate that increased variability in brain connectivity may contribute to the risk of developing CUD, suggesting potential early intervention strategies through pharmacological or neurostimulation approaches for high-risk individuals.
Background: Carotid artery stenting has been used effectively to treat internal carotid artery stenosis since 1989 (Mathias et al. in World J Surg. 25(3):328-34, 2001), with refined and expanded techniques and tools presently delivering outstanding results in percutaneous endoluminal treatment of carotid artery stenosis.
