The natural history of asymptomatic carotid bifurcation plaques.
Seventy-three patients with an angiographically identified asymptomatic stenosis (greater than 50%) and/or ulceration of the common carotid bifurcation have been followed from 6 months to 10 years (average 4 years). All patients had previously undergone contralateral carotid endarterectomy for a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke in that carotid territory. During follow-up, 22 pati...
متن کاملAsymptomatic carotid stenosis: natural history and therapeutic implications.
Carotid plaques with different degrees of carotid stenosis are a common condition in the aged population (10% or more after age 75). If the definition of "symptomatic"carotid stenosis (SCS) indicates association with homolateral neurologic hemispheric lesions and/or retinal deficits even in absence of ischemic changes at CT scan, the overwhelming majority of carotid stenoses can be defined asym...
متن کاملUlcerated atheromatous plaques of the carotid artery bifurcation.
Ulcerated A theromatous Plaques of the Carotid A rtery Bifurcation • The clinical diagnosis of an ulcerated plaque at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery is based on: mid-carotid bruit, cholesterol or platelet emboli in the retina, transient ischemic attacks particularly with amaurosis fugax, and a reversible neurological deficit. In this series, thrombosis in situ was the final phenom...
متن کاملLongitudinal MRI Study on the Natural History of Carotid Artery Plaques in Symptomatic Patients
PURPOSE To investigate the natural history of carotid atherosclerosis in patients who experienced a TIA or ischemic stroke. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ninety-two TIA/stroke patients (57 men, mean age 67.7 ± 9.8 years) with ipsilateral <70% carotid stenosis underwent multisequence MRI of the plaque ipsilateral to the symptomatic side at baseline and after one year. For each plaque, several parameter...
متن کاملSpontaneous history of asymptomatic internal carotid occlusion.
Forty-nine patients with ICA occlusion, who presented without any neurological signs or symptoms, were prospectively followed for an average of 31.2 months. Eight patients (16%) suffered a stroke during follow-up, of which five were within the vascular territory of the occluded artery--5 patients (10%) developed TIAs 4 of which were ipsilateral to the occluded artery. Non-invasive vascular foll...
