Preoperative noninvasive coronary risk stratification in candidates for carotid endarterectomy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis who are candidates for carotid endarterectomy are at high short- and long-term risk of coronary events. To stratify patients at different risk of coronary events we investigated the usefulness of a noninvasive preoperative cardiological workup. METHODS We studied 172 consecutive patients admitted to the Neurosurgical Department...
متن کاملCarotid endarterectomy. Complications and preoperative assessment of risk.
A system of grouping patients according to preoperative evaluation of risk of carotid endarterectomy is presented. The primary complications of this surgical procedure were myocardial infarction and residual mild to severe neurologic deficit. Neurologically stable patients without medical or angiographically determined risk factors (group 1, 129 patients) have a risk of 1%. Neurologically stabl...
متن کاملCarotid restenosis: long-term noninvasive follow-up after carotid endarterectomy.
Recurrent stenosis has not been a primary consideration in the selection of patients for carotid endarterectomy. We have studied the incidence of postoperative restenosis retrospectively in 265 patients following 310 carotid endarterectomies. Two hundred fourteen patients (248 endarterectomies) were examined at 6-12 month intervals using ocular pneumoplethysmography, spectral analysis, and B-mo...
متن کاملHomocysteine improves risk stratification in patients undergoing endarterectomy for asymptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A limited life expectancy reduces the benefit from carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for treatment of asymptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis. The aim of this study was to assess homocysteine as stratifying biomarker to improve prediction of postoperative survival. METHODS This was a prospective, nonrandomized case series from 2003 to 2012. Two hundred and fourteen con...
متن کاملMulticenter review of preoperative risk factors for carotid endarterectomy in patients with ipsilateral symptoms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Randomized clinical trials have shown that carotid endarterectomy decreases the risk of subsequent stroke in patients with high-grade carotid stenosis and ipsilateral transient ischemic attack or minor stroke. The benefit of surgery is highly dependent on surgical risk. We previously found that patients with ipsilateral hemispheric symptoms were at greater risk of carotid...
