Abstract:
Carotid artery stenosis is one of the major causes of ischemic stroke. Recent studies have found that homocysteinemia and matrix metalloproteinase and its endogenous tissue inhibitor play important roles in carotid artery stenosis. The interventional strategies that aim at the 2 new risk factors may have extensive prospects of application in the future prevention and treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
