The Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy vs. Stenting Trial completes randomization: lessons learned and anticipated results.

30 Oct 2009 The Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy vs. Stenting Trial (CREST) completed randomization on July 18, 2008. Sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the trial has enrolled 2,522 participants across ... Read more...

Surgical or endovascular repair of thrombosed dialysis vascular access: is there any evidence?

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Endovascular and surgical strategies have been used to manage patients with thrombosed vascular access for hemodialysis. We analyzed the evidence to see whether endovascular or surgical treatment has the best outcome in terms of ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Angioplasty'

Definition: Endovascular reconstruction of an artery, which may include the removal of atheromatous plaque and/or the endothelial lining as well as simple dilatation. These are procedures performed by catheterization. When reconstruction of an artery is performed surgically, it is called ENDARTERECTOMY.
