Summary Providing a thorough overview of rapid developments in medical therapy, surgery, and angioplasty, this reference provides a complete review of carotid artery stenosis treatment, as well as a clear overview of carotid surgery and stenting. Offering chapters by seasoned authorities on epidemiology, imaging with ultrasound and angiography, cholesterol lowering, blood pressure management, homocysteine treatment, and diet modification, this guide is a stand-alone source for current information and understanding of this burgeoning science
