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

Symptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis
Seminars in Neurology, 2014The management of patients with extracranial carotid artery stenosis remains controversial. Randomized controlled studies established the value of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) over optimal medical therapy for patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis.

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 ...

Carotid Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis
New England Journal of Medicine, 1993Ischemic stroke remains one of the most common devastating illnesses in developed countries, ranking third as the cause of death and extracting a huge socioeconomic toll because of the permanence o...

Endarterectomy, Stenting, or Neither for Asymptomatic Carotid-Artery Stenosis.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2016Important data from two large, randomized trials comparing early and late outcomes after carotid endarterectomy and carotid-artery stenting have now been published in the Journal.1,2 In common with every other large, multicenter, randomized trial to date,

Carotid Stenosis with Thrombus
2019A 44-year-old male, with history of tobacco chewing and hypercholesterolemia presented with sudden onset of inability to speak. MRI revealed multiple small acute infarcts in the left temporoparietal area (Fig. 95.1a). His speech improved partially in the next few days. CT angiogram revealed severe stenosis of left internal carotid artery (Fig.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the most common cause of disability. Most strokes are ischemic and can be prevented by carotid revascularization. At the present time, indications for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) include asymptomatic stenosis of more than 80% or symptomatic stenosis of more than 50%.

Carotid disease is often asymptomatic but can lead to strokes, transient ischaemic attacks (TIA), or amaurosis fugax. This chapter explores the pathogenesis of the disease and examines the investigations often used to diagnose the severity of the carotid stenosis.

Medical Management of Carotid Stenosis
Perspectives in Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, 2010Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. Although the rates of stroke have decreased in North America, there are significant areas of risk stratification and management that can be improved. Hypertension is the most significant and perhaps most modifiable risk factor for stroke.
