Insights

This bibliometric analysis reveals trends in carotid artery stenosis (CS) research, highlighting key publications and topics like diagnosis and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) versus angioplasty/stenting (CAS). The United States leads in publications.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Neurology
  • Bibliometrics

Background:

  • Carotid artery stenosis (CS) management involves carotid endarterectomy (CEA), angioplasty/stenting (CAS), and medical treatments.
  • Understanding research performance and trends is crucial for advancing CS treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a bibliometric analysis of highly cited research on carotid artery stenosis.
  • To identify publication trends, key contributors, and prevalent research topics in CS.

Main Methods:

  • Searched the Web of Science database using keywords 'carotid artery' and 'carotid stenosis'.
  • Analyzed the top 100 most cited manuscripts (T100) published between 1990 and 2016.
  • Examined publication details including authors, institutions, countries, and research topics.

Main Results:

  • The United States led publications (43), with the University of Oxford as the top institution (7).
  • Stroke published the most articles (22), while the New England Journal of Medicine had the highest citations (15,113).
  • Diagnosis (44) was the most frequent topic, followed by CEA (22) and CEA vs. CAS (14).

Conclusions:

  • Bibliometric analysis offers valuable insights into CS research.
  • Identified key trends and perspectives in the evolving treatment landscape of carotid artery stenosis.

Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview01:17

Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview

Ischemic heart disease occurs when the heart's blood supply dwindles, causing an ominous lack of oxygen and nutrients. This deficiency, stemming from reduced or obstructed blood flow, spells danger, leading to heart muscle damage and dysfunction.
Atherosclerosis, the primary malefactor, orchestrates this dangerous condition. It manifests as the accumulation of fatty deposits, akin to insidious plaques, within arterial walls. As time elapses, these plaques metamorphose, hardening and narrowing...

Cardiovascular Drugs: Classification based on Therapeutic Indications

Cardiovascular diseases, encompassing a range of conditions, can significantly affect the heart's operations and the overall circulatory system. These conditions impair the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to a deficit in oxygen supply to crucial organs. Anomalies in the heart's electrical system, known as arrhythmias, can cause heartbeats to accelerate or slow down. Usually, heart rates increase during physical activity and decrease while resting or sleeping. However, frequent irregular...
Regulation of Stroke Volume01:27

Regulation of Stroke Volume

The regulation of stroke volume, which is the amount of blood the heart pumps out during each heartbeat, is critical for maintaining a healthy circulatory system. Stroke volume is influenced by three main factors: preload, contractility, and afterload.
Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...
Overview of Systemic Arteries01:11

Overview of Systemic Arteries

The human body is a complex, well-organized machine, and at the heart of its operations lies the circulatory system. This network of blood vessels, which includes systemic arteries, plays a vital role in maintaining life by transporting nutrients, oxygen, and waste products to and from cells throughout the body.
Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's tissues and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...
Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...
