Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patient has a symptomatic or asymptomatic atherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis of at least 50% narrowing of the lumen (calculated by using criteria equivalent to the NASCET method) wherefore revascularisation through carotid endarterectomy is planned routinely.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Any anaphylactic reaction in the medical history

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint is activated mast cell as the percentage of the total mast cell (CD45+CD117+Fc*R+ cells) count, determined by flow cytometry. Normal unactivated mast cells are positive for the markers CD45, CD117 and Fc*R. In addition, activated mast cells are positive for IgE and the activationmarkers CD203c and CD63. The primary study parameter is the % of mast cell activation determined by flow cytometry.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints are (endpoints will be compared between treatment groups and for point 2,3,5 and 6 between baseline and day 3): (1) Local inflammatory status of atherosclerotic plaque (measuring T-cell subsets, M1/M2 macrophages, neutrophils and B-cells counts) (2) Plasma tryptase levels (3) Level of infection parameters (complete blooudcount, hsCRP, IL-1beta and IL-6) (4) Plaque characterization (using histology) (5) Serum IgE levels (6) Basophil activation status
