TL;DR: Lower rates of intervention for 50% to 99% symptomatic carotid stenosis in women can be explained by sex differences in population-based incidence.

TL;DR: Women were at significantly higher risk of perioperative stroke and death in the European Carotid Surgery Trial than men, implying that the generally smaller size of women may contribute to their increased risk.

TL;DR: TGA does not carry an increased risk of stroke, at least when cardiovascular risk factors are treated according to primary prevention guidelines, and smoking was the most frequent cardiovascular risk factor.

TL;DR: In this article, a roadmap consensus article defines the limits of luminal imaging and highlights the current evidence supporting the role of plaque imaging, identifying gaps in current knowledge and suggest steps to generate high-quality evidence, to add relevant information to guidelines currently based on the quantification of stenosis.
