Carotid endarterectomy

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 1998
Although controversies still exist, recently reported trials have confirmed the efficacy of carotid endarterectomy and more clearly elucidated the appropriate indications for surgical therapy. The efforts to optimize outcomes for patients with carotid artery disease have expanded to the asymptomatic patient, the patient suffering from stroke, and the ...

Carotid Endarterectomy

Neurosurgery, 2002
Abstract CAROTID ENDARTERECTOMY IS a procedure that has withstood the test of time and scientific scrutiny to remain an important technique for the surgical prevention of stroke. Several aspects of this operation are critical for success, i.e., improving on the natural history of carotid artery ...

ASCORE: an up-to-date cardiovascular risk score for hypertensive patients reflecting contemporary clinical practice developed using the (ASCOT-BPLA) trial data. [PDF]

, 2013
A number of risk scores already exist to predict cardiovascular (CV) events. However, scores developed with data collected some time ago might not accurately predict the CV risk of contemporary hypertensive patients that benefit from more modern ...

Beneficial effect of carotid endarterectomy in symptomatic patients with high-grade carotid stenosis.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1991
BACKGROUND Without strong evidence of benefit, the use of carotid endarterectomy for prophylaxis against stroke rose dramatically until the mid-1980s, then declined. Our investigation sought to determine whether carotid endarterectomy reduces the risk of

Prosthetic bypass for restenosis after endarterectomy or stenting of the carotid artery [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of prosthetic carotid bypass (PCB) with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in treatment of restenosis after CEA or carotid artery ...

A rare case of neurological dysfunction due to severe hyponatremia after carotid artery endarterectomy: A review of the clinical approach to hyponatremia

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
Development of severe hyponatremia after carotid endarterectomy procedure is rare. Several pathophysiological mechanisms related to the carotid endarterectomy procedure may infer an increased risk of developing this complication in specific populations.

An Alternative Surgical Procedure for a Patient with Critically Restenosed and Kinked Carotid Artery: Graft Interposition

Case Reports in Surgery, 2011
According to the literature data, the prevalence of restenosis after carotid endarterectomy ranges between 6 and 36%. The etiological factor is intimal hyperplasia for early period, whereas it is atherosclerosis for late period.

Protocol for electrophysiological monitoring of carotid endarterectomies. [PDF]

, 2010
Near zero stroke rates can be achieved in carotid endarterectomy (CEA) surgery with selective shunting and electrophysiological neuromonitoring. though false negative rates as high as 40% have been reported.

Benefit of carotid endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic moderate or severe stenosis. North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial Collaborators.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1998
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that carotid endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic severe carotid stenosis (defined as stenosis of 70 to 99 percent of the luminal diameter) is beneficial up to two years after the procedure.
