S-nitrosoglutathione reduces asymptomatic embolization after carotid angioplasty.
BACKGROUND The major complication of carotid angioplasty is embolic stroke, which may occur after balloon inflation and deflation or in the early postintervention period. Platelet adhesion and aggregation to the angioplasty site with subsequent embolization seems to plays a major role in early postangioplasty embolization and stroke. During this period, asymptomatic embolic signals can be detec...
متن کاملSwitching off embolization from symptomatic carotid plaque using S-nitrosoglutathione.
BACKGROUND Current antiplatelet regimens fail to prevent the majority of recurrent strokes. Asymptomatic circulating emboli can be detected by transcranial Doppler ultrasound, are frequent in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis, and predict recurrent stroke risk. S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is a nitric oxide donor that appears to have relative platelet specificity. We evaluated its effec...
متن کاملS-nitrosoglutathione reduces the rate of embolization in humans.
BACKGROUND Antiplatelet agents presently used in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease fail to prevent the majority of cases of recurrent stroke and systemic embolization. An evaluation of the efficacy of new agents is hampered by a lack of in vivo models in humans. Asymptomatic cerebral embolic signals (ES) may be detected with the use of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. Thes...
متن کاملL-arginine and S-nitrosoglutathione reduce embolization in humans.
BACKGROUND L-Arginine reduces platelet aggregation and adhesion in ex vivo studies, but there is no evidence as yet that it has a therapeutic effect on clinical end points. Doppler ultrasound can detect cerebral emboli noninvasively. Such embolic signals are common after carotid endarterectomy, and their frequency predicts risk of stroke recurrence. We used this situation to determine the antip...
متن کاملPercutaneous transluminal angioplasty prior to carotid cavernous fistula embolization.
Detachable balloon embolization has become well established as the primary treatment for carotid cavernous fistulae, and numerous articles have been written on techniques for balloon placement in the cavernous sinus [1-3]. Recently, several case reports have described the use of angioplasty of the internal carotid artery for stenosis resulting from either fibromuscular dysplasia or arterioscler...
