Acetazolamide stress brain-perfusion SPECT predicts the need for carotid shunting during carotid endarterectomy.
UNLABELLED Although carotid shunting is occasionally necessary to prevent cerebral ischemia during carotid endarterectomy, there is no reliable indication for this procedure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether acetazolamide stress brain-perfusion SPECT can predict the need for carotid shunting during carotid endarterectomy. METHODS Basal and acetazolamide stress brain-perfusion...
متن کاملIntracranial internal carotid artery stenosis.
The advent of EC/IC Bypass surgery has focused attention on selected patients who might benefit from this innovative procedure. There is a poverty of natural history data pertaining to all such lesions. Two centres (Memphis, Tennessee and London, Ontario) pooled their resources to carry out a retrospective review of 58 patients with angiographically-proven intracranial internal carotid artery s...
متن کاملBilateral Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis
A72-year-old manpresented with paroxysmal and transient involuntary movements, or "limb shaking". The attacks occurred alternately from one side of the body to the other and ceased spontaneously. Surface EMG study showed synchronous grouping discharges in multiple limb muscles, being compatible with hemiballism-hemichorea. Cerebral angiography demonstrated marked stenosis of the bilateral inter...
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
متن کاملComparison of CBF measurement by ASL and SPECT in Patients with Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis
INTRODUCTION: Hemodynamic assessment of patients who have steno-occlusive cerebrovasucular disease plays an important role for decision making and planning of surgical interventions. In this field, SPECT is currently the modality of choice, but faster and less invasive techniques are highly desirable. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is emerging as clinically promising technique for non-invasive pe...
