Asymptomatic carotid stenosis in patients undergoing major cardiac surgery: can percutaneous carotid angioplasty be an alternative?
OBJECTIVE As the mortality associated with coronary artery bypass grafts has fallen, morbidity has become an increasing problem. The improvement of transluminal carotid angioplasty is enlarged to patients with asymptomatic severe carotid stenosis (> 85%) requiring coronary surgery. METHODS Between January 1993 and January 1995, 10 patients underwent percutaneous carotid angioplasty prior to c...
متن کاملIn patients undergoing cardiac surgery does asymptomatic significant carotid artery stenosis warrant carotid endarterectomy?
A best evidence topic in cardiovascular surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether asymptomatic significant carotid artery stenosis (ASCAS) warrants carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. 128 Papers were found using the reported search, of these 10 presented represent the best evidence to answer the clinical question....
متن کاملPatch Angioplasty in Carotid Endarterectomy
There is much controversy in the literature regarding the precise role of patch angioplasty in carotid endarterectomy. Our report summarizes the theoretical and experimental considerations, including the hemodynamic effects and biologic behavior of the graft, associated with this technique. We present a detailed review of the literature regarding the clinical efficacy of patch angioplasty in ca...
متن کاملCarotid plaque volume in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy
BACKGROUND The main indication for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is severity of carotid artery stenosis, even though most strokes in carotid disease are embolic. The relationship between carotid plaque volume (CPV) and symptoms of cerebral ischaemia, and the measurement of CPV by minimally invasive tomographic ultrasound imaging, were investigated. METHODS The volume of the endarterectomy spec...
متن کاملIs Carotid Artery Stenting an Alternative to Simultaneous Carotid Endarterectomy Performed for Carotid Artery Stenosis in Patients Undergoing Isolated Coronary Bypass Surgery?
BACKGROUND Treatment method in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing coronary bypass surgery with accompanying carotid artery disease is still a hot topic among clinicians. This study is designed to investigate if there is an effect on myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular events and mortality during postoperative period of simultaneous carotid endarterectomy with coronary bypass su...
