Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in North America, affecting over half a million patients at a cost of over $30 billion a year. Depending on the population studied, extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis accounts for approximately 10–15% of ischemic strokes. Aside from these symptomatic cases, large population-based

NONATHEROMATOUS CAROTID ARTERY DISEASE
Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 1996Common and uncommon nonatheromatous diseases affecting the cervical carotid artery are discussed. Specifically, the radiographic and pertinent clinical features of cervical carotid artery congenital variants, dissection, fibromuscular dysplasia, Takayasu's arteritis, and infection are described.

Carotid artery occlusive disease
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2000Stroke is the third most common cause of death and the leading cause of disability in the United States. Management of identifiable risk factors and careful selection of patients for operative intervention constitute the current approach to reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with stroke.

Carotid Artery Occlusive Disease
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2013Carotid disease is a major contributor to stroke, one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Clinically significant stenosis can be detected by duplex ultrasound using well-established criteria. In addition to optimal medical management, surgical and endovascular revascularizations of carotid disease have been demonstrated ...

Carotid Ultrasonography in Carotid Artery Disease
Southern Medical Journal, 1984Real-time high resolution carotid ultrasonography was performed in 1,300 patients of whom 294 also had carotid arteriography, allowing evaluation of 586 extracranial carotid vessels. Of the 586 extracranial vessels studied, 411 were normal by arteriography; of these, 381 (93%) were also normal by ultrasonography or showed only superficial plaques.

Symptomatic Carotid Artery Disease: Revascularization
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2017Patients with symptomatic carotid artery disease should be managed by a multidisciplinary team including neurologists, vascular surgeons and interventionalists. Duplex ultrasound is the most widely used diagnostic modality to assess carotid disease, followed by additional imaging tests (CT- or MR-angiography) to confirm the severity of the stenosis ...

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1988
Many patients with carotid artery disease experience a diversity of ocular symptoms (Table). Thus, the ophthalmologist (1) is often the first physician to see the patient or (2) is asked to act as a consultant to identify structural disease, to confirm or to exclude the presence of retinal emboli, or to perform noninvasive tests reflecting the patency ...

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.

Atherosclerosis with carotid plaque-induced luminal narrowing causes asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (ACAS) in ~10% of older adults and the vast majority remain undetected (de Weerd et al., Stroke 40(4):1105–1113, 2009; O’Leary et al., Stroke 23(12):1752–1760, 1992).

The vast majority of carotid artery lesions are of atherosclerotic origin. Other conditions such post-radiation vasculopathy, spontaneous or traumatic carotid artery dissection, Takayashu disease, fibromuscular dysplasia or Ehlers Danlos syndrome may affect the carotid artery but account for the minority of cases.
