Asymptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis and cerebrovascular risk stratification.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the cerebrovascular risk stratification potential of baseline degree of stenosis, clinical features, and ultrasonic plaque characteristics in patients with asymptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. METHODS This was a prospective, multicenter, cohort study of patients undergoing medical intervention for vascular disease. Hazard r...
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 کاملManagement of asymptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis.
Optimal management of patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis remains unclear. Although 2 high-quality randomized clinical trials demonstrated reductions in ispsilateral stroke rates in patients without symptoms after carotid endarterectomy, medical therapy of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis has reduced rates of stroke to approximately 1% per year, raising questions about the ge...
متن کاملSymptomatic Versus Asymptomatic High-Grade Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis
Background and Purpose Thromboembolic stroke is likely to occur in patients with a restricted cerebral blood flow reserve. Our aims were to determine (1) whether symptomatic patients had any significant hemodynamic restriction ipsilateral to carotid occlusive disease compared with patients whose carotid stenosis is asymptomatic and (2) whether patients with carotid occlusive disease have impair...
متن کاملIntracranial internal carotid artery stenosis.
The advent of EC/IC Bypass surgery has focused attention on selected patients who might benefit from this innovative procedure. There is a poverty of natural history data pertaining to all such lesions. Two centres (Memphis, Tennessee and London, Ontario) pooled their resources to carry out a retrospective review of 58 patients with angiographically-proven intracranial internal carotid artery s...
