Why the study?
The study aimed to explore the predictive ability of an ultrasound linear regression equation in patients undergoing endovascular stent placement to treat carotid artery stenosis-induced ischemic stroke.
Can preoperative ultrasound indices predict the short-term improvement rate of neurological deficits in patients undergoing endovascular stent placement for carotid artery stenosis?
Population
64 patients who underwent endovascular stent placement for carotid artery stenosis-induced ischemic stroke
Comparison
Preoperative ultrasound indices correlated with actual improvement rate

May aid post-ESP IR prediction; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Can preoperative ultrasound indices predict the short-term improvement rate of neurological deficits in patients undergoing endovascular stent placement for carotid artery stenosis?
A multi-index preoperative carotid ultrasound model can predict short-term neurological improvement after endovascular stent placement for carotid artery stenosis.
