Indication for Carotid Endarterectomy

open access: yesNeurologia medico-chirurgica, 1998
From recent randomized studies, carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is highly beneficial to the patients with a symptomatic high-grade carotid artery stenosis (70-99%), but the surgical indication for an asymptomatic carotid artery disease remains unsolved. Sixty-three atheromatous plaques (symptomatic 51, asymptomatic 12) were obtained from 57 patients who ...

Carotid Endarterectomy Under Local Anesthesia: An Alternative Treatment for Carotid Stenosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Purpose. Carotid artery stenosis accounts for approximately 10% of all ischemic strokes, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Historically the standard of care for surgical candidates for carotid stenosis was carotid endarterectomy, traditionally
