Mean Platelet Volume as a Predictor for Restenosis After Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting

Abstract

that neurologists billed more for interpreting the EEG the day after the operation while drinking coffee than I did for doing the surgery (I cannot confirm or deny this claim, but the thought of it annoys me). The reader needs to pay close attention to any publication reporting SP thresholds and whether the authors measure mean or peak systolic pressures. The authors in the current paper made the mistake of not mentioning if threshold criteria reported in other papers were one or the other and lumped the results together. A systolic SP > 40 or 50 mm Hg has been reported by several groups as being a safe threshold for performing CEAs under GA. For vascular surgeons who continue to prefer performing CEA using GA, measuring SP appears to be a reasonable alternative to EEG monitoring as a method to determine the need for shunting.

Blood Cell Parameters and Predicting Coronary In-Stent Restenosis

“…[79][80][81] Choi et al 82 demonstrated that a combination of high NLR and high MPV independently predicted the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, including cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and stent thrombosis after PCI. Dai et al 83 evaluated the MPV as a predictor of carotid angioplasty and stenting restenosis, suggesting that patients with high preprocedural MPV may benefit from intensified antiplatelet therapy. In the multivariate regression analysis, baseline MPV >10.1 fL had a hazard ratio: 3.20, 95% CI: 1.28 to 8.03.…”

Predictive value of plateletcrit in the diagnosis of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis

“…Therefore, MPV value has been extensively investigated in cardiovascular diseases. The effect of MPV on restenosis after carotid artery stenting was investigated by Dai et al [16]. In this study, patients were followed for 12.1 (16.1) months and high MPV values before the procedure were found to be associated with restenosis.…”

Karotid Arter Stentleme Sonrası Gelişen Stent-içi Restenozun Yeni Bir Öngördürücüsü: CRP/Albumin Oranı

“…Another study reported that CRP levels two days after the index carotid artery intervention was associated with ISR during six months period following CAS (23). In addition to the role of elevated CRP levels, preprocedural NLR, mean platelet volume, and the neutrophil and albumin ratio was found to be associated with the occurrence of ISR following CAS (24)(25)(26). In this study, we also found that a higher ratio of CAR, a new inflammatorybased index, is a strong predictor of ISR development after CAS.…”
