Mortality in asymptomatic patients with carotid bruit.
Out of 1,022 consecutive private patients subjected to carotid endarterectomy 1957-1977 at Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, 132 had their operation for asymptomatic carotid bruit because of arteriographic evidence of 50% or greater obstruction of the diameter of one or both internal carotid arteries. There were 76 male and 56 female patients; the mean age of the operated group w...
متن کاملProspective comparison of a cohort with asymptomatic carotid bruit and a population-based cohort without carotid bruit.
This study is a prospective analysis of the predictive value of diffuse and localized carotid bruit. Patients with asymptomatic carotid bruits are compared with a population-based age- and sex-matched control group known not to have carotid bruit, in regard to subsequent transient ischemic attack, stroke, and death. Each person was followed until death or for 5 years. Among the 566 patients wit...
متن کاملThe carotid bruit
© 2002 Blackwell Science Ltd INTRODUCTION When faced with a patient who may have had a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA), one needs to ask oneself some simple questions: was the event vascular?; where was the brain lesion, and hence its vascular territory?; what was the cause? A careful history and focused physical examination are essential steps in getting the right answers. Although ...
متن کاملObservations on the carotid bruit.
The reported results of surgical treatment of carotid atheroma indicate that disobliteration of an occluded vessel is relatively safe but unlikely to produce much benefit, whereas operating on a stenosed artery is more hazardous but also more rewarding. This naturally throws great emphasis on the diagnosis of carotid stenosis as opposed to occlusion, a difficult clinical exercise. Patients with...
متن کاملAsymptomatic bruit, carotid and vertebrobasilar transient ischemic attacks--a clinical and ultrasonic correlation.
One hundred patients with asymptomatic carotid bruit or transient ischemic attack (TIA) underwent continuous-wave Doppler (CWD) and real time ultrasound (RTU) testing of their cervical carotid arteries. After ultrasonic studies, 51 patients also underwent bilateral carotid angiography. There was 95% agreement between CWD and angiography for the diagnosis of a significant (greater than 50%) sten...
