This study compares the early and late results of reoperations versus primary CEA. METHODS All reoperations for recurrent carotid stenosis performed during a rece...
متن کاملCarotid Revascularization: Carotid Endarterectomy
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a procedure that has reliably decreased the risk of cerebrovascular events and death in patients with severe carotid stenosis. In this chapter, important concepts in the preoperative assessment of patients undergoing CEA will be reviewed. An overview of the clinical trials highlighting current indications will be provided, followed by a discussion of the surgical...

متن کاملCarotid endarterectomy.
This lecture presents one of the most often vascular surgical procedures – carotid endarterectomy. This type of surgery is performed to prevent stroke caused by atherosclerotic plaque at the common carotid artery bifurcation and, most important, internal carotid artery. Before we will discuss the anatomy of this region, it is necessary to mention that typical symptoms that lead to the diagnosis...

In March 1951, Fisher’s report on occlusion of the internal carotid artery characterized basic clinical and pathological features of an important disease syndrome.1 Fisher described fleeting neurological symptoms attributable to atherosclerotic narrowing, thrombosis, and cerebral embolism that might arise from thrombotic material lying in the carotid sinus. He suggested that vascular surgical b...
