Endovascular intervention for symptomatic bilateral carotid artery stenosis in an octogenarian.
An 89-year-old man presented with two separate minor stroke episodes due to high grade bilateral carotid stenoses, which were successfully treated with endovascular angioplasty and stenting. The role of operative interventions for high grade symptomatic carotid stenosis in patients aged over 80 years is discussed.
متن کاملCombined external counterpulsation and endovascular stenting treatment for symptomatic vertebrobasilar artery stenosis: two case reports
Symptomatic vertebrobasilar artery (VBA) stenosis has a poor prognosis. Intravascular stents provide a new therapeutic approach, but the long-term outcome of stenting compared with medical outcome is controversial. External counterpulsation (ECP) is a noninvasive method to improve perfusion of vital organs. We report two cases of this combination with ECP treatment in addition to receiving endo...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of symptomatic carotid artery aneurysm with covered stent: A case report and literature review
OBJECTIVES Extracranial carotid artery true aneurysm is extremely uncommon, and definite treatment has traditionally involved open surgical repair. Although successful management of the internal carotid artery aneurysms using endovascular stenting and embolization has recently been reported, only a limited number of cases have been reported. METHODS We present a case of symptomatic carotid tr...
متن کاملEndovascular revascularization of symptomatic acute extracranial internal carotid artery occlusion.
See related article, pages 2426–2430. Acute extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion resulting in ischemic stroke is different from other forms of acute occlusion of the cerebral blood vessels. The occluded segment of the ICA consists of predominantly atherosclerotic plaque and a superimposed thrombus. The occluded segments in other cerebral blood vessels, such as the middle cerebra...
متن کاملStenting of symptomatic stenosis of the intracranial internal carotid artery.
Percutaneous balloon angioplasty has been reported to be useful in the treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic arterial stenoses; however, arterial dissection with increased risk of stroke has limited its widespread implementation. Although vascular stenting has improved the outcome of similar procedures in the extracranial vasculature, its intracranial application has been limited by the lac...
