Prevalence of carotid stenosis following radiotherapy for head and neck cancer: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Head and Neck, 2020
Radiation to the head and neck is a well‐established risk factor for the development of carotid artery stenosis. Our objective was to identify the prevalence, incidence, and degree of carotid stenosis in patients with a history of head and neck ...

Carotid stenosis prevalence after radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A meta-analysis.

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2019
PURPOSE Radiotherapy (RT) is the most effective treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) but may cause stenosis of the carotid arteries. This meta-analysis evaluates the prevalence of carotid stenosis after radiation therapy.

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 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.

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.

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 ...

Symptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis

Seminars in Neurology, 2014
The 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.

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
