Ophthalmic Artery Occlusion After Carotid Revascularization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distal embolization resulting from carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) occurs mainly in the cerebral hemisphere. We report a case of ophthalmic artery occlusion after carotid revascularization. A 75-year old man received emergency CAS for cervical internal carotid artery occlusion. Two months later, the patient was readmitted for decreased visual acuity. We found ophthalmic artery occlusion that was not noticed soon after CAS. Although ophthalmic artery occlusion after CAS is rare, endovascular neurosurgeons should be aware of this potential complication.

Feasibility of endovascular recanalization for symptomatic cervical internal carotid artery occlusion.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to report technical details and clinical results of the first series of endovascular recanalization for cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion. BACKGROUND Cervical ICA occlusion is associated with impaired cerebral perfusion, which may lead to ischemic cerebral symptoms and hemodynamic infarcts. Neither surgical nor endovascular revascularization has bee...
متن کاملEndovascular management of chronic internal carotid occlusion with Penumbra system
Carotid occlusion is a common disease and its incidence is about 6 in 100000. Annual risk of stroke is between 3% and 10% in older than 60 years with carotid occlusion and recurrent ischemic event have been reported in 25% of symptomatic carotid occlusion.1 Since many years ago it has been advocated in complete arterial occlusion, there was no chance for emboli to pass into the distal circulati...
متن کاملRelationship between ophthalmic artery blood flow and recanalization of occluded carotid artery. Ultrasonic Doppler study.
Ophthalmic artery blood flow in 5 patients with internal carotid artery occlusion of sudden onset was monitored by an ultrasonic Doppler flowmeter to investigate the possible relationship to spontaneous recanalization of the occluded artery. The occluded internal carotid arteries of 2 patients were confirmed angiographically to recanalize and the reversed flow of their ophthalmic arteries chang...
متن کاملSymptomatic cavernous sinus aneurysms: management and outcome after carotid occlusion and selective cerebral revascularization.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Therapeutic internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion for symptomatic intracavernous artery aneurysms can result in ischemic infarction despite normal clinical balloon test occlusion (BTO). We evaluated outcomes in patients with symptomatic cavernous sinus aneurysms in whom clinical BTO was normal, who underwent carotid occlusion with selective bypass surgery guided by phys...

We assessed the potential of 2-MHz pulsed-wave transorbital Doppler ultrasonography to delineate the role of the ophthalmic artery as a source of collateral cerebral blood supply by comparing oculopneumoplethysmography, transorbital Doppler ultrasonography, periorbital continuous-wave Doppler ultrasonography, and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in 25 patients with unilateral internal carot...
