Carotid 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 کاملCarotid stenting for asymptomatic carotid stenosis: trial it.
Angioplasty and stenting should not be performed for patients with asymptomatic atherosclerotic carotid bifurcation stenosis, except in the context of randomized clinical trials. Surgical carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been proven effective over medical therapy in select asymptomatic patient populations. The benefit in these patients is small and easily overcome by procedural complication rat...
متن کاملAssociation between the Gensini Score and Carotid Artery Stenosis
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the extent of coronary artery disease assessed by the Gensini score and/or the SYNTAX score and the significant carotid stenosis in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 225 patients who had carotid doppler ultrasonography prior to CABG were included re...
متن کاملCarotid endarterectomy: applying trial results in clinical practice.
DES ÉTUDES CONTRÔLÉES RANDOMISÉES MULTICENTRIQUES — NASCET ET ACAS en particulier — ont démontré que l’endartérectomie de la carotide est plus efficace que le traitement médical seulement pour réduire le risque d’attaque. Les avantages sont clairs pour les patients qui satisfont aux critères rigoureux de sélection et sont traités conformément aux protocoles d’étude. Le défi pour les cliniciens ...
متن کاملAssociation between coronary artery calcium score and carotid atherosclerotic disease.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between coronary calcification and carotid atherosclerosis. Briefly, 123 patients with suspected coronary artery disease were recruited. The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) was measured and multi‑contrast carotid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed. Parameters of the carotid morphological measurements were determined a...
