Carotid endarterectomy for recurrent stenosis [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1997 The purpose of this study was to report our results in the surgical management of recurrent carotid stenosis (RCS) after carotid endarterectomy (CEA).In a 20-year period, we performed 1209 CEAs; 82 operations (6.8%) were for RCS. There were 33 men and 36 women, with an average age of 66.3 years.

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 ...

Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2011 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

Measuring carotid stenosis [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2003 Comparing a new test with a standard involves measuring disagreement. In the case of measuring carotid artery stenosis, some of the disagreement between different tests is because of inherent differences in how the stenosis is demonstrated (test characteristics). This is what we are most interested in when assessing a new technology.

Management of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis [PDF]
Neurologic Clinics, 2015 Patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) are at very high risk of coronary events, so they should all receive intensive medical therapy. What is often accepted as "best medical therapy" is usually suboptimal. Truly intensive medical therapy includes lifestyle modification, particularly smoking cessation and a Mediterranean diet.
