AN EVALUATION OF ENDARTERECTOMY
Archives of Surgery, 1953THE INTRODUCTION of endarterectomy has provided the surgeon with a tool for direct attack upon arteriosclerotic obstruction of the major arteries. Endarterectomy has been greeted with interest, but some of the original enthusiasm has been tempered by the disappointment associated with unexpected failures.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is an underdiagnosed condition. Patients typically present with the symptoms of right heart failure. Diagnosis is usually done by radionuclide ventilation/perfusion (VQ) scan, high-quality multidetector computed tomography (CT) or pulmonary angiography at expert centers. Pulmonary endarterectomy remains the

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1985
AbstractLaser radiation can be applied directly at a diseased artery to dissect the plaque away from the media and perform an open endarterectomy. The appropriate cleavage plane within the media can be achieved with the laser beam for precise reconstruction of the artery.

European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 2006
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is a condition that is recognised in an increased percentage of patients. Pulmonary endarterectomy is recognised as being the only curative option for a subgroup of those patients, but anaesthesiologists and intensivists face many challenges in how they manage these patients perioperatively.

Pulmonary endarterectomy is the treatment of choice for many patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Although potentially curative, some patients receive no benefit and have poor outcomes. This review will look at the new research in the pathophysiology of the disease and developments in perioperative care, which may help to ...

During the last 20 years carotid endarterectomy has become an important method of treatment for selected patients with arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease. Improvement in selection of patients for operation, in anesthetic management, and in surgical techniques has resulted in a decline in complications associated with the operation.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses carotid endarterectomy. Stenotic lesions that have no effect on pressure or flow in the vessel are important to the development of stroke if they are a source of embolism because of the presence of ulceration. Majority of transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients have neck vessel disease. The rare combination of
