Beneficial Changes of Serum Calcification Markers and Contralateral Carotid Plaques Echogenicity after Combined Carotid Artery Stenting Plus Intensive Lipid-lowering Therapy in Patients with Bilateral Carotid Stenosis

Abstract Objectives/design In symptomatic patients treated with ipsilateral carotid artery stenting (CAS) plus intensive lipid lowering, we assessed the changes of osteopontin (OPN), osteoprotegerin (OPG) and the Gray-Scale Median (GSM) score contralateral to symptomatic carotid stenosis.
