Hyperhomocysteinemia and recurrent carotid stenosis
BACKGROUND Hyperhomocysteinemia has been identified as a potential risk for atherosclerotic disease in epidemiologic studies. This study investigates the impact of elevated serum homocysteine on restenosis after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). METHODS In a retrospective study, we compared fasting plasma homocysteine levels of 51 patients who developed restenosis during an eight year period afte...
متن کاملRecurrent stenosis at site of carotid endarterectomy.
Five patients studied by the authors and 28 mentioned in the literature indicate that recurrent stenosis occurs in no less than 0.6% of patients after carotid endarterectomy. The pathology of the recurrent stenosis was stated in only 10 cases indicating atherosclerotic disease in various stages of development in 7 and a fibrous intimal hyperplasia in 3. Correlation between risk factors for the ...
متن کاملRecurrent carotid stenosis : results of the asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to determine the incidence of recurrent carotid stenosis in patients in the Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis Study (ACAS) who had undergone carotid endarterectomy and were prospectively followed with Doppler ultrasound for up to 5 years. METHODS The ACAS database was interrogated to determine the rate of recurrent carotid stenosis (>/=60%) based up angiogr...
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
متن کاملCarotid intraplaque hemorrhage predicts recurrent symptoms in patients with high-grade carotid stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), known to be associated with plaque instability, may convey a higher stroke risk. The aim of this study was to assess whether the identification of IPH by MRI predicts recurrent clinical cerebrovascular events. METHODS Sixty-six patients with high-grade symptomatic carotid stenosis underwent MRI of the carotid arteries and were follo...
