Although AS can be congenital in etiology or a consequence of rheumatic fever, the most common form is “calcific” AS. Calcific AS is usually seen in patients over the age of 65 years, and as the population continues to grow older, the number of patients with AS is almost ...
متن کاملMedical versus surgical treatment of asymptomatic carotid stenosis: the ever-changing nature of evidence-based medicine.
Randomized trials have shown that prophylactic carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) moderately reduces stroke risk compared with medical management alone provided that the procedural morbidity and mortality does not exceed 3%. These results provided “evidence-supported” armor to increasingly perform CEA on patients with ACS despite opposition questio...
متن کاملLow risk of ipsilateral stroke in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis on best medical treatment: a prospective, population-based study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The annual risk of ischemic stroke distal to > or =50% asymptomatic carotid stenoses was approximately 2% to 3% in early cohort studies and subsequent randomized trials of endarterectomy. This risk might have fallen in recent years owing to improvements in medical treatment, but there are no published prognostic data from studies initiated within the last 10 years. METH...
متن کاملEvidence based medicine in nuclear medicine practice; Part I: Introduction, asking answerable questions and searching for the best evidence
Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) is a new approach to patient management which incorporates best evidence with the clinical expertise of the health care providers. Although this approach has had a rapid growth in many clinical disciplines, its applications in radiology and nuclear medicine has not been addressed sufficiently. In this review EBM is briefly explained...
