Abstract

Stroke is a serious health problem in many countries. About 20% of ischemia stroke involves carotid stenosis. Neck carotid ultrasound is fast, secure and convenient way to detect carotid artery stenosis. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has become a popular treatment for cerebrovascular stenosis in recent years. However, CAS may also induce the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in older patients. Hence the evaluation the CAS prognosis is important.
