A bibliometric analysis of the top 100 influential papers on carotid artery stenting.

World Neurosurgery 2018 November 16
BACKGROUND: Artery stenting is an effective therapy for carotid artery stenosis to prevent ischemic stroke. We aimed to identify and analyze the 100 top-cited papers published on carotid artery stenting (CAS), to provide the achievements and development in this field.

METHODS: Web of Knowledge (WoS) was searched up to May 3, 2018, using the terms "carotid artery stenting" or "CAS". Top 100 cited papers were extracted to analyze their characteristics.

RESULTS: Citation number of top 100 cited papers ranged from 120 to 1,813, with an accumulated citation of 26,265. They were from 13 countries, with USA owning the most publications (n = 62), followed by UK (n = 11), Germany (n = 6) and Italy (n = 6). Stroke (n = 21) is the leading producing journal, followed by Journal of Vascular Surgery (n = 11) and Journal of the American College of Cardiology (n = 10). Papers with higher impact factor were likely to be cited more (P ˂ 0.0001). These publications were categorized in: clinical trials (n = 74), review (n = 13), basic study (n = 5), guideline (n = 5), commentary (n = 1), expert consensus (n = 1) and protocol (n = 1).

CONCLUSIONS: This study provides the scientific performances in CAS. USA contributed to the most publications. Stroke was the leading productive journal. Papers with higher impact factor were likely to be cited more.
