The Carotid-Carotid Bypass Graft
Archives of Surgery, 1980Occasional patients have multiple, branch artery occlusions of the aortic arch that preclude any of the standard extrathoracic bypass grafts. We recently treated such a patient with carotid-carotid bypass and found it to be remarkably simple and effective.

Carotid Bypass for Carotid Occlusion
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2015The 2-year risk of ipsilateral ischemic stroke following internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO) in a patient undergoing maximal medical therapy is 5-8% per year. While medical therapy may reduce the risk of stroke, it does not completely eliminate it. Since the 1985 extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass study, additional trials have been conducted

Carotid endarterectomy versus carotid angioplasty
The Lancet, 1997This istherefore a fundamental baseline upon which we can allwork to plan the future care of our patients. However,subsequent to the publication of these trials, there hasbeen an exceptional increase in the number of carotidendarterectomies in the UK, together with ongoing debatethat although this procedure may be clinically effective, itmight not be ...

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2008
Carotid angioplasty and stenting is potentially an alternative to carotid endarterectomy in carotid stenosis, but it remains unclear whether it confers significant advantages over carotid endarterectomy. We reviewed evidence on carotid angioplasty and stenting in carotid stenosis.Carotid angioplasty and stenting is neither safer nor associated with ...

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1980
Thousands of carotid endarterectomies are now performed each year. In properly selected patients in the hands of competent surgeons, the mortality and morbidity rate should not exceed 2 per cent. Although the long-term results are good, this procedure is prophylactic, and a patient who has already sustained a fixed neurologic deficit will rarely be ...

Vascular Medicine, 1996
Aspirin and carotid endarterectomy represent the current method of prophylaxis against stroke in patients with symptomatic high grade carotid stenoses. Whilst balloon dilatation and stent placement is an accepted form of recannalization, elsewhere in the arterial circulation the technique is in its infancy within the supra-aortic vessels.

Carotid Revascularization: Carotid Endarterectomy
2009Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a procedure that has reliably decreased the risk of cerebrovascular events and death in patients with severe carotid stenosis. In this chapter, important concepts in the preoperative assessment of patients undergoing CEA will be reviewed.
