Abstract
Background and Aims : Patch angioplasty in conventional carotid endarterectomy is suggested to reduce the risk of restenosis and recurrent ipsilateral stroke compared with primary closure. Diffusing alpha-emitters radiation therapy (DaRT) is a new treatment modality, which utilizes seeds embedded with a low activity of radium- 224 (224Ra). Each seed continuously emits the short-lived alpha particles, which spread over several mm around it, creating a 'apoptotic region' of high alpha-particle dose.
