Carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis
1999Whilst 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, 1997The 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
1999Severe 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

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 ...

Crossing an Ultracritical Carotid Stenosis for Carotid Angioplasty
Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2009Carotid 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 ...

Carotid Arteriography Impacts Carotid Stenosis Management
Vascular Surgery, 2001Recent 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.

Recurrent carotid stenosis after carotid endarterectomy
British Journal of Surgery, 1997This 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 ...

Evaluation of Carotid Stenosis by Phonoangiography
New England Journal of Medicine, 1975Quantitative 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 ...

Management of the asymptomatic stenosis of the carotid bifurcation remains an unsettled question in the care of patients with generalized atherosclerosis. The natural history of the untreated condition is not known. Available data on the subject are mostly retrospective, ill-defined, and recommendations range from careful observation to aggressive ...
