Carotid Artery Stenosis
Neuroimaging Correlates of Memory Decline Following Carotid Interventions
Carotid revascularization can significantly reduce the risk of stroke in patients with severe carotid stenosis; however, it has been associated with cognitive decline in 25% of the older adults who undergo the procedure.

Ischemic Stroke, Embolic Stroke
Norwegian Microemboli in Acute Stroke Study
BACKGROUND: The cause of ischemic stroke remains undetermined in 30-40% of the cases, but circulating blood clots (thromboemboli) are a postulated common denominator in approx. 75% of patients.
- Conditions
- Ischemic Stroke, Embolic Stroke, Microemboli

Stroke
Reproducibility Study of Transcranial Doppler
Hardening of the neck vessels (carotid arteries) caused by fatty deposits called 'plaques' is a common cause of strokes. Over time plaques can burst or may lead to a severe narrowing (stenosis) of the neck artery.
