EDITORIAL: Intraoperative Duplex Imaging of Carotid Endarterectomy
Improved outcome following carotid endarterectomy becoming the favoured technique for completion imis dependent upon low surgical morbidity and moraging, because it provides both anatomical and haemotality rates. Guidelines for performing carotid enddynamic information without increasing the risk of arterectomy recommend that surgeons should have a the procedure. documented complication rate of...
متن کاملIs ultrasound sufficient for vascular imaging prior to carotid endarterectomy?
Clinical trials of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) published over the last decade in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients have emphasized the importance of accurate vascular imaging prior to operation. Different methods of evaluating carotid stenosis using digital subtraction angiography (DSA)1 and between ultrasound and angiographic measurements2 explain many of the discrepancies between cl...
متن کاملVascular imaging before carotid endarterectomy.
Endarterectomy To the Editor: A variety of neurovascular imaging techniques have been developed to avoid the infrequent but often serious risks of digital subtraction angiography, (DSA)1 This still remains the “gold standard,” although there is increasing reliance on duplex ultrasound as the sole screening method for evaluating arterial stenosis prior to carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Other form...
متن کاملIs routine duplex ultrasound surveillance after carotid endarterectomy cost-effective?
BACKGROUND Although duplex ultrasound surveillance of patients after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is routinely performed, the use of this policy has been questioned. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of this strategy. METHODS Using a decision-analytic Markov model that depicts the natural history of patients after CEA, we compared a strategy of duplex ultrasound surveillance to a strategy o...
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...
