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

Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2007Severe asymptomatic carotid stenosis is associated with a stroke risk of approximately 2% per annum. Aggressive management of risk factors is recommended, including cessation of smoking, and treatment of hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. Patients should be treated with antiplatelet agents.

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 ...

Archives of Neurology, 1985
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 ...

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.

Carotid stenosis and carotid endarterectomy.
Cerebrovascular and brain metabolism reviews, 1994This review focuses on the natural history of symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis and on the risk/benefit ratio of carotid endarterectomy. Five randomized trials for symptomatic stenosis and four trials for asymptomatic carotid occlusive disease are reviewed.
