Indication for carotid endarterectomy.
From recent randomized studies, carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is highly beneficial to the patients with a symptomatic high-grade carotid artery stenosis (70-99%), but the surgical indication for an asymptomatic carotid artery disease remains unsolved. Sixty-three atheromatous plaques (symptomatic 51, asymptomatic 12) were obtained from 57 patients who underwent CEA. The presence of an intraplaqu...
متن کاملCarotid endarterectomy for non-hemispheric cerebrovascular symptoms: an unusual indication.
We report on an 80-year-old man who presented with non-hemispheric cerebrovascular symptoms in the form of daily multiple syncope. The left common carotid artery, its two main divisions, and the right vertebral artery were completely occluded. There was high-grade stenosis in the right carotid artery (82%) and left vertebral artery (60%). After excluding other causes of syncope such as postural...
متن کاملOccluded but nonthrombosed internal carotid artery: an indication for endarterectomy.
The indications for carotid endarterectomy are sometimes imprecise. Total occlusion of the internal carotid artery has often implied irreversibility. Carotid thromboendarterectomy was performed on eight patients who on angiography had a complete occlusion of proximal internal carotid artery but showed antegrade opacification of the infraophthalmic carotid siphon. Direct magnification, delayed r...
متن کاملRedo carotid endarterectomy versus primary carotid endarterectomy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several authorities have recently advocated carotid stenting for recurrent carotid stenosis because of the perception that redo surgery has a higher complication rate than primary carotid endarterectomy (CEA). This study compares the early and late results of reoperations versus primary CEA. METHODS All reoperations for recurrent carotid stenosis performed during a rece...
متن کاملCarotid Revascularization: Carotid Endarterectomy
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a procedure that has reliably decreased the risk of cerebrovascular events and death in patients with severe carotid stenosis. In this chapter, important concepts in the preoperative assessment of patients undergoing CEA will be reviewed. An overview of the clinical trials highlighting current indications will be provided, followed by a discussion of the surgical...
