Cognitive Function After Carotid Endarterectomy: Early Decline and Later Recovery.
AIM To prospectively study neurocognitive performance following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in various follow-up periods, taking into account the potential confounding factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-six patients with carotid artery stenosis received CEA (group A). Thirty-one patients underwent surgery for femoropopliteal occlusive disease served as controls (group B). Neuropsychologica...
متن کاملPossible determinants of early microembolism after carotid endarterectomy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE High numbers of microembolic signals (MES) have been associated with increased risk of postoperative stroke after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). We sought to identify factors predictive of postoperative MES. METHODS Transcranial Doppler monitoring of the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery for MES was performed for 30 minutes during the first postoperative hour in sequent...
متن کاملHigh rate of early restenosis after carotid eversion endarterectomy in homozygous carriers of the normal mannose-binding lectin genotype.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is thought to influence the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease by decreasing the risk of advanced atherosclerosis and by contributing to enhanced ischemia reperfusion injury. Thus, we investigated the role of MBL in restenosis after eversion endarterectomy in patients with severe carotid atherosclerosis. METHODS In a prospective study...
متن کاملEarly outcomes after carotid artery stenting compared with endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite the absence of definitive data from randomized clinical trials on the comparative effectiveness of carotid artery stenting (CAS) versus carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for asymptomatic carotid stenosis, the use of CAS has been expanding and seems to be displacing the use of CEA in some parts of the United States. METHODS We used comprehensive hospital discharge dat...
متن کاملComparison between carotid stenting and carotid endarterectomy in early outcome.
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a widely used method in prevention of stroke for carotid artery stenosis as an alternative to surgical treatment. Initial studies reveal higher morbidity and mortality rates for CAS than acceptable standards for carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The aim of this study was to compare results in a series of CAS with concurrent risk-matched group of CEA patients. The st...
