Temporal trends in safety of carotid endarterectomy in asymptomatic patients: Systematic review.
OBJECTIVE To systematically review temporal changes in perioperative safety of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in asymptomatic individuals in trial and registry studies. METHODS The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched using the terms "carotid" and "endarterectomy" and "asymptomatic" from 1947 to August 23, 2014. Articles dealing with 50%-99% stenosis in asymptomatic individuals were inclu...
متن کاملCarotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid stenosis: asymptomatic carotid surgery trial.
Effective prevention is inarguably the best option for reducing the individual and societal burden of stroke. For each patient, clinicians balance the benefits of a given preventive therapy against its associated risks and costs. Where possible, these assessments should be based on the results of randomized clinical trials. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA), the most-commonly used surgical procedure...
متن کاملStatins reduce neurologic injury in asymptomatic carotid endarterectomy patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Statins are neuroprotective in a variety of experimental models of cerebral injury. We sought to determine whether patients taking statins before asymptomatic carotid endarterectomy exhibit a lower incidence of neurological injury (clinical stroke and cognitive dysfunction). METHODS A total of 328 patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis scheduled for elective caroti...
متن کاملCarotid endarterectomy in asymptomatic patients with limited life expectancy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Data from randomized trials assert that asymptomatic patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) must live 3 to 5 years to realize the benefit of surgery. We examined how commonly CEA is performed among asymptomatic patients with limited life expectancy. METHODS Within the American College of Surgeons National Quality Improvement Project we identified 8 conditions ...
متن کاملCarotid 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...
