Malignant emboli on transcranial Doppler during carotid stenting predict postprocedure diffusion-weighted imaging lesions.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) are hypothesized to be biomarkers of systemic inflammation and risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Little is known, however, about the stability of these markers over time, and in particul...
