Further comments on the measurement of carotid stenosis from angiograms. North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) Group.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Three different methods for estimating the percentage of reduction in the diameter of the internal carotid artery (ie, stenosis) have been proposed in the literature. Further comparisons of the methods were carried out with the intent of recommending a current standard for determining the percentage of stenosis from angiograms. METHODS Angiograms from 112 patients were ...

Background and Purpose: Data from recent multicenter carotid endarterectomy trials have questioned the validity and reliability of Doppler ultrasound in the assessment of carotid stenosis. Methods: We prospectively analyzed 45 patients undergoing carotid angiography to compare the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) and European Carotid Surgery Trial (ECST) methods ...
متن کاملCarotid endarterectomy in symptomatic carotid stenosis: NASCET comparative results at 30 months of follow-up.
This was a multicenter, randomized clinical trial of carotid endarterectomy for high-grade (70-99%) stenosis. Both the Surgical and the Medical group under study received appropriate medical treatment (e.g., anti-lipid, anti-hypertensive, anti-platelet, and, as warranted, anti-diabetic treatment), but the Surgical group also received endarterectomy. The 50 participating centers in the United St...
متن کاملCarotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis: asymptomatic carotid surgery trial.
Effective prevention is inarguably the best option for reducing the individual and societal burden of stroke. For each patient, clinicians balance the benefits of a given preventive therapy against its associated risks and costs. Where possible, these assessments should be based on the results of randomized clinical trials. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA), the most-commonly used surgical procedure...
