Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Establish and validate biomarkers which improve the predictive value of current risk stratification models for patients benefiting from carotid revascularization, outperform existing biomarkers, and reach clinical application standards.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The authors hypothesize FGF-23 and GDF-15 could predict cerebral ischemia, postoperative complications and long term major cardiovascular events, particularly in patients developing symptomatic neurologic ischemia after circulation shutdown.

Establish and validate biomarkers which improve the predictive value of current risk stratification models for patients benefiting from carotid revascularization, outperform existing biomarkers, and reach clinical application standards.

Clarify the pathophysiology of carotid endarterectomy-related stroke and the role of GDF-15, FGF-23, BNP and hs-troponin I and other biomarkers in the prognosis of symptomatic carotid stenosis.

Imagiologic markers are to be included - intima-media; gray weale plaque classification, cerebral CT Peak wave velocity

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Carotid endarterectomy

This study is a non-interventional prospective cohort study. The population corresponds to patients submitted to CEA under regional anesthesia. Consecutive patients from a tertiary referral center who undergo CEA for carotid artery stenosis (CS) will be prospectively recruited. The expected patient follow-up will be of 5 years.

The demographics will be recorded in a prospective, protected database. Blood samples will be collected in clot activator serum tubes at three timepoints: timepoint 1 - before surgery (until 15 days before surgery); timepoint 2 up to 48h postoperatively; timepoint

Biomarker - FGF 23; troponin I; PCR - high sensitivity; BNP

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
