Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis. [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017
Severe narrowing (stenosis) of the carotid artery is an important cause of stroke. Surgical treatment (carotid endarterectomy) may reduce the risk of stroke, but carries a risk of operative complications.To determine the balance of benefit versus risk of endarterectomy plus best medical management compared with best medical management alone in patients

Residual cholesterol levels are associated with carotid plaque stability in patients with carotid stenosis [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Residual cholesterol (RC) is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis. High levels of RC have been shown to be associated with unstable plaque in healthy populations. However, the association between RC and unstable carotid plaque in specific

Long-term outcomes after stenting versus endarterectomy for treatment of symptomatic carotid stenosis: the International Carotid Stenting Study (ICSS) randomised trial

Lancet, The, 2015
Summary Background Stenting is an alternative to endarterectomy for treatment of carotid artery stenosis, but long-term efficacy is uncertain. We report long-term data from the randomised International Carotid Stenting Study comparison of these ...

Carotid Artery Stenting for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: What We Need to Know for Treatment Decision [PDF]

Neurointervention, 2023
A clinical decision on the treatment of asymptomatic carotid stenosis is challenging, unlike symptomatic carotid stenosis. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been recommended as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) based on the finding that the ...

Risk of stroke in relation to degree of asymptomatic carotid stenosis: a population-based cohort study, systematic review, and meta-analysis

Lancet Neurology, 2021
Summary Background There is uncertainty around which patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis should be offered surgical intervention. Although stroke rates were unrelated to the degree of stenosis in the medical-treatment-only groups in previous ...

Management of atherosclerotic extracranial carotid artery stenosis.

Lancet Neurology, 2022
Atherosclerosis leading to stenosis of the internal carotid artery is the underlying cause of 8-15% of ischaemic strokes (symptomatic carotid stenosis). 1-2% of the adult population have asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

European Stroke Organisation guideline on endarterectomy and stenting for carotid artery stenosis

European Stroke Journal, 2021
Atherosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid artery is an important cause of stroke. The aim of this guideline is to analyse the evidence pertaining to medical, surgical and endovascular treatment of patients with carotid stenosis.
