Carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis.
BACKGROUND Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is of proven benefit in recently-symptomatic patients with severe carotid stenosis. Its role in asymptomatic stenosis is still debated. The Asymptomatic Carotid Surgery Trial (ACST) more than doubled the number of patients randomised to CEA trials. This revised review incorporates the recently published ACST results. OBJECTIVES Our objective was to dete...

متن کاملCarotid Stenosis With Prophylactic Carotid Endarterectomy
Background and Purpose: The value of carotid endarterectomy in asymptomatic patients with high-grade stenosis is controversial. The objective of this study is to compare the immediate and long-term outcome of patients after carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis (>75%) with the reported natural history of patients followed nonoperatively to determine whether carotid endarterec...
متن کاملEndarterectomy and Stenting for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis
Atherosclerotic carotid stenosis has been recognized for the past several decades as being responsible for a significant portion of ischemic stroke, particularly the major and disabling ones. This category of stroke distinguished itself as being one of the first ones to have an effective preventive treatment in carotid endarterectomy. It took over 4 decades before major randomized, controlled t...
