Endovascular Treatment of Carotid Stenosis [PDF]

open access: possibleNeurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2014
Carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS) has experienced an astonishing rate of development over the last 2 decades, becoming a viable alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in the management of carotid stenosis. Many trials have attempted to compare both treatment modalities and establish indications for each, depending on clinical and ...

Extracranial Stenosis: Endovascular Treatment

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2007
Stroke is the third-leading cause of death in the United States. It occurs in almost 700,000 people per year and cost an estimated US dollars 57.9 billion in 2006. Atherosclerotic disease is the cause of one third of these strokes, with more than one half of these stenoses being extracranial in location.

Endovascular Treatment of Cerebral Vasospasm

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2000
Abbreviations: ICP intracranial pressure, TCD transcranial Doppler sonography THE following scenario is very frustrating for all concerned. A patient presents with the “worst headache of my life.” Radiology is involved with the patient from the outset, including making the diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage by computed tomography (CT) and the ...

Endovascular Treatment of Intracranial Stenosis

World Neurosurgery, 2011
The Gateway balloon-Wingspan stent system is the first, and currently the only "on-label" device for the treatment of symptomatic intracranial stenosis in the United States. In initial single-arm studies, investigators have indicated that this system can be used for the treatment of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease with high levels of ...

Endovascular treatment of symptomatic moyamoya

Neurosurgical Review, 2014
Moyamoya is a rare though important source of neurological morbidity as a result of both ischemic and hemorrhagic sequelae. Although a litany of series detailing the endovascular management of cerebral ischemia is present in the literature, only a paucity of such reports exists for moyamoya.

Simulators in Endovascular Treatment

2012
Training in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery faces enormous challenges as a consequence of rapidly evolving technology and changes in postgraduate medical education (e.g., restriction of working hours thereby effectively reducing operative time). Traditionally, Vascular Surgery training has distinguished itself by being a low-volume/high-complexity ...

Endovascular treatment for vertebrobasilar insufficiency

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2002
Endovascular management of supra-aortic atherosclerotic vascular disease is becoming relatively common in the innominate, subclavian, and carotid arteries. However, revascularization of vertebral artery disease is an infrequently used treatment option due to several reasons: 1) stroke etiology and prevention is generally considered with respect to ...

Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms

2016
Intracranial aneurysms are abnormal dilations of the intracranial vessels, in which all the layers of the vascular wall are affected by degenerative changes that lead to distension of the vessel. Intracranial aneurysms can be classified based on their anatomic location, size, and morphology.

Endovascular treatment of mycotic pseudoaneurysms

Vasa, 2010
The surgical correction of ruptured intracranial infectious pseudoaneurysms is associated with high morbidity and mortality. An endovascular therapeutic approach has been introduced recently. This treatment is, compared to surgical intervention, less invasive, faster, more effective and safer, thus making it a gentler option, particularly for ...

Endovascular Treatment of Hemangioblastomas

1989
In our series of 22 patients, presenting solitary or multiple hemangioblastomas located in posterior fossa and/or in the spinal cord, 8 underwent endovascular treatment. The location of the lesions was posterior fossa (2 cases), cervical spinal cord (3 cases) and dorsal spinal cord (3 cases).
