Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2007
Severe asymptomatic carotid stenosis is associated with a stroke risk of approximately 2% per annum. Aggressive management of risk factors is recommended, including cessation of smoking, and treatment of hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. Patients should be treated with antiplatelet agents.

Surgery for carotid artery stenosis

Medical Journal of Australia, 1991
point, the children’s depression rating scale (CDRS-R; P = 0.10), but this was not mentioned in the abstract. This and the small or absent advantages of fluoxetine on other end points (table) and in other studies, 3 shows that fluoxetine, like all other antidepressants, is of doubtful clinical importance for children.

Management of carotid artery stenosis: A review

International Journal of Angiology, 1999
Carotid endarterectomy clearly benefits high stroke-risk patients, but its value for asymptomatic patients is still being debated. If a high exposure is necessary for redo procedures or distal aneurysms, mandibular subluxation and styloidectomy may be required. Perioperative mortality and morbidity are acceptably low.

Ocular Temperature in Carotid Artery Stenosis

Optometry and Vision Science, 1999
To explore the potential application of wide-field, color-coded infrared ocular thermography in the investigation of carotid artery stenosis (CAS).Ocular thermography and color duplex ultrasonography were undertaken in a masked study of 24 asymptomatic, consecutively presenting patients who were examined for vascular occlusive disease.Linear regression

Early carotid artery stenting for symptomatic carotid artery stenosis

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2015
The aim of present study was to assess safety and efficacy of early carotid artery stent (CAS) in patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis compared with delayed CAS.This retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board, and the requirement to obtain written informed consent was waived.

Carotid Artery Stenosis and Endarterectomy

AORN Journal, 2002
ABSTRACTThis article reviews the disease process of carotid artery stenosis, its symptomatology, and prognosis for progression to ischemic stroke. Indications for both medical and surgical treatment are reviewed as is criteria for surgical categorization as specified by the American Heart Association guidelines for carotid endarterectomy.

Hemorheological alterations in carotid artery stenosis

Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, 2016
Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is not only an important risk factor of cerebrovascular events but it can also indicate generalized atherosclerosis. Hemorheological parameters are altered in CAS and in chronic cerebrovascular disorders as well, but it is controversial if hemorheological parameters could be markers of stenosis or atherosclerosis.107 ...

Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis

2016
Asymptomatic carotid stenosis is fairly common in elderly patients, especially those with symptomatic atherosclerotic disease in other vascular beds. Although the term asymptomatic implies that these patients have no clinical manifestations, there can be associated silent brain infarcts and cognitive impairment. Carotid revascularization procedures are

Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis

Archives of Neurology, 1997
We fully commiserate with Dr Toole's understandable reaction to our consensus statement concerning carotid surgery in asymptomatic carotid stenosis, 1 and we agree that the Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis Study (ACAS) represents a clinical trial conducted with a high standard of care. This makes the results of the ACAS all the more disappointing.

Hemodynamics of Carotid Artery Stenosis [PDF]

, 1981
It is generally agreed that at least one-third of Strokes arise from atherosclerotic lesions developing on the extracranial arterial channels. The bifurcation of the common carotid artery in the neck is a site particularly prone to develop plaques.
