The Relevance of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 Alpha, and Clusterin in..., Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Thromboembolism, as a major cause of carotid artery-related stroke, can be caused by plaque rupture which is associated with neoangiogenesis within the carotid plaque., Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Thromboembolism, as a major cause of carotid artery-related stroke, can be caused by plaque rupture which is associated with neoangiogenesis within the carotid plaque. Aim: We sought to investigate a possible correlation between angiogenesis-related factors and preoperative neurological manifestations in patients with internal carotid artery stenosis, for a better understanding of thromboembolism in internal carotid artery stenosis-related stroke., admin,
