Peripheral Artery Disease Extracranial Carotid Disease Revascularization
Extracranial carotid artery stenosis is a factor in 20% to 30% of all strokes.1,2 Revascularization strategies using surgical carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS) offer the possibility of stroke prevention by restoring flow and mitigating the risk for future plaqueassociated embolization. Numerous studies have assessed whether these procedures reduce the risk for stroke...

متن کاملSurgical Management of Extracranial Carotid Artery Disease
In the last six years the indications for performance of carotid endarterectomy have become standardized by the availability of level one evidence from cooperative trial data. Four randomized cooperative trials for asymptomatic carotid disease and three randomized cooperative trials of symptomatic carotid disease have been completed and published. Asymptomatic carotid disease with 60% or greate...
متن کاملExtracranial carotid artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND Carotid endarterectomy is the most common surgical procedure used to treat stenosis of the extracranial precerebral carotid artery. Data from several randomized controlled trials are available to help guide its use in specific patient subgroups. Carotid angioplasty with stenting is also being performed, and clinical trials comparing this procedure with carotid endarterectomy are in p...
متن کاملExtracranial-intracranial arterial bypass surgery for occlusive carotid artery disease.
BACKGROUND The EC/IC Bypass Study Group found no benefit of extracranial to intracranial (EC/IC) bypass surgery over medical therapy in patients with symptomatic carotid artery occlusion (sCAO). However, the study was criticised for many reasons and the real effect of this treatment is still not known conclusively. OBJECTIVES To determine whether bypass surgery plus medical care is superior t...
