Carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis

1999
Whilst carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is of proven benefit in recently symptomatic patients with severe carotid stenosis, the role of carotid endarterectomy in preventing stroke in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis remains uncertain.The objective of this review therefore was to determine the effects of CEA for patients with asymptomatic carotid

Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis

1999
Severe narrowing (or stenosis) of the carotid artery is an important cause of stroke. Surgical removal of the atheromatous material from the inside of the carotid artery (endarterectomy) may reduce the risk of stroke, but carries a risk of operative complications.This review seeks to summarize the evidence from randomized trials on the balance of risks

Carotid Stenosis Index

Stroke, 1995
Background and Purpose Current methods of measuring carotid stenosis such as those used in the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) and European Carotid Surgery Trial (ECST) have limitations caused by difficulties in measuring the normal width of the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) or the ...

Carotid Arteriography Impacts Carotid Stenosis Management

Vascular Surgery, 2001
Recent literature advocates carotid endarterectomy on duplex alone. The authors hypothesized that carotid angiography adds information that alters clinical management in a substantial number of patients compared to the use of carotid duplex examination alone.

Crossing an Ultracritical Carotid Stenosis for Carotid Angioplasty

Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2009
Carotid angioplasty requires early placement of a cerebral protection device in an effort to minimize cerebral embolization during the conduct of the subsequent angioplasty and stenting procedure. In patients who exhibit a very critical internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis (∼99%), initial passage of the lesion may not be possible with a standard 0 ...

Recurrent carotid stenosis after carotid endarterectomy

British Journal of Surgery, 1997
This review examines the history, incidence, aetiology and pathology of recurrent carotid stenosis, and assesses the methods and results of managing patients with this condition.Over 200 references were retrieved from Medline from 1966 to 1996. Data were collected which reported the incidence, timing, method of diagnosis, follow-up, percentage of ...

Carotid Stenosis and Intracranial Emboli

Radiology, 1971
Middle cerebral branch occlusions were evaluated relative to lesions in the extracranial carotid arteries, showing increased incidence in patients with irregular and ulcerated plaques compared to those with normal or smoothly stenosed arteries.

Stenting for carotid artery stenosis

Nature Clinical Practice Neurology, 2007
Stenting has increasingly been used for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis, although it is still unknown whether it is as safe and successful as carotid endarterectomy. Several studies have been published, and the preliminary results have been variable, with evidence both in favor of and against this procedure.

Evaluation of Carotid Stenosis by Phonoangiography

New England Journal of Medicine, 1975
Quantitative spectral (frequency) analyses were performed on 60 carotid bruits in 48 patients with suspected carotid stenosis. The technic was totally noninvasive. Bruits were recorded at the skin surface, analyzed by a minicomputer, and the degree of arterial stenosis estimated using a recently derived theory of sound production by turbulent blood ...
