Carotid stenosis, stroke, and carotid artery revascularization

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2021
Atherosclerotic disease of the carotid artery places patients at risk of ischemic stroke and consequently is a target of medical, endovascular and open surgical management. Various imaging modalities are used to characterize anatomy/severity of carotid disease and justify intervention, each having advantages and disadvantages. Carotid revascularization

Treatment of Carotid Stenosis

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2012
Carotid stenosis is frequent in the general population, especially in elderly people and is associated with a high risk of stroke and vascular events. In patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis the overall annual risk of ipsilateral stroke has dramatically decreased over the past decades, due to improvement in medical management.

Managing carotid stenosis

Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin, 1998
Stenosis of the internal carotid artery in the neck is an important and potentially treatable cause of ischaemic stroke (cerebral infarct), transient ischaemic attack (TIA) and retinal infarction. We discuss here the diagnosis and assessment of patients with carotid stenosis and consider ways of preventing the damage the condition can cause.

Carotid artery stenosis

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2003
Qureshi and colleagues report the results of a prospective longitudinal pilot registry to test the short-term (30-day) and intermediate-term (1-year) safety and efficacy of a novel coiled sheet stent used for extracranial carotid artery (CA) angioplasty and stent placement.

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

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 1997
The effect of clinical trials on clinical practice has been especially notable in the field of cerebrovascular surgery, and carotid endarterectomy in particular. Extensive data have been published from retrospective studies in cerebrovascular disease; the current focus on prospective randomized trials does not discount the validity of these prior ...

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 ...
