Carotid Artery Evaluation

2021
Cerebrovascular disease is a significant cause of disability and mortality in the developed countries. Stroke is generally ischemic, secondary to emboli migration, often from a vulnerable plaque at the carotid bifurcation. Early detection and treatment of carotid artery disease are therefore crucial and noninvasive imaging modalities may provide ...

Carotid Artery Revascularization

Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation, 2003
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and up to one third of patients have a stroke secondary to carotid occlusive disease. Surgical management has firmly established itself as an important modality in treating this disease. Several prospective randomized trials have defined the patients that would have the most benefit from ...

Carotid-Artery Disease

New England Journal of Medicine, 1986
Few medical issues are more controversial than carotid endarterectomy. The subject has been featured in the general press and on prime-time television; dispute has been encouraged between surgeon and nonsurgeon, with "needless surgery" a refrain poorly concealed in the background. These debates usually have more passion than substance.

Coiling of the Carotid Arteries

Southern Medical Journal, 1987
We have presented a case of extensive coiling of both common carotid arteries in which surgical reconstruction on the most severely affected side relieved symptoms of cerebrovascular insufficiency. The underlying lesion is believed to be congenital, and surgical correction is recommended in symptomatic patients.

Aneurysms of the Carotid Artery

Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2005
Carotid artery aneurysms are an uncommon but important problem. The available data suggests that, untreated, these aneurysms lead to neurologic symptoms from embolization. Pseudoaneurysms of the carotid artery result from injury or may be the long-term sequelae of a spontaneous carotid dissection.

Carotid artery stenting

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2004
Efficacy for carotid artery stenting (CAS) has not been confirmed by randomized clinical trial methodology in conventional risk patients. Although carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is considered the preferred method for carotid revascularization in the management of patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic extracranial carotid occlusive disease ...

Carotid Artery Dissection

Annual Review of Medicine, 2000
Among the large variety of cerebrovascular syndromes, carotid artery dissections remain often under-recognized. Many patients present with minor or transient symptoms, some with local pain only, and some are asymptomatic. A useful rule is that the coincidence of any local pain in neck or face with an ipsilateral Horner’s syndrome preceding transient ...

Imaging of the carotid artery

Atherosclerosis, 2012
In the study of carotid arteries, modern techniques of imaging allow to analyze various alterations beyond simple luminal narrowing, including the morphology of atherosclerotic plaques, the arterial wall and the surrounding structures. By using CTA and MRI it is possible to obtain three-dimensional rendering of anatomic structures with excellent detail

Carotid Artery Surgery

2015
Carotid endarterectomy is at present the most frequent intervention on arterial vessels performed in vascular surgery units. Currently the surgical technique is significantly improved compared to 10 years ago with a consequent reduction in terms of mortality and morbidity.
