A single-center pilot randomized controlled trial of atorvastatin loading for preventing ischemic brain damage after carotid artery stenting
ObjectiveCarotid artery stenting (CAS) performed perioperatively with high-dose atorvastatin may reduce the incidence of new ischemic brain lesions, but more high-level evidence is needed. Furthermore, the optimal dose and course of perioperative statin therapy remain uncertain.MethodsA single-cente...
