Cerebral Artery Atherosclerosis

چکیده
Methods Pre-operative magnetic resonance angiography was performed on 1,367 consecutive CABG patients to assess Intracranial and extracranlal cerebral atherosclerosis. Disease severity was evaluated by atherosclerosis score, as determined by the number of steno-occluslons of cerebral arteries and the degree thereof. Post-CABG strokes (within 14 days) were classified as atherosclerotic (strokes attributable to pre-defined atherosclerosis) or other (strokes caused by other mechanisms). Associations between post-CABG stroke and each type of atherosclerotic disease (extracranial carotid artery disease, intracranial, extracranlal, or extracranial and/or intracranial cerebral atherosclerosis), differentiated according to the InVOlved arteries, were analyzed.

متن کاملAnterior cerebral artery angioplasty for intracranial atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Angioplasty of the intracranial vasculature has been well described for the middle cerebral artery and carotid terminus, primarily in the setting of vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Endovascular therapy for anterior cerebral artery stenosis has not heretofore been described. CASE REPORT We report the case of A1 segment angioplasty in a 77 year old man with presumed intr...
متن کاملStroke risk after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and extent of cerebral artery atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVES We aimed to define the relationship between cerebral atherosclerosis and stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). BACKGROUND Although cerebral atherosclerosis may play a crucial role in the advent of post-CABG stroke, only extracranial carotid artery disease has been extensively studied, and the effects of atherosclerosis on the mechanisms underlying post-CABG stroke re...
متن کاملAdditional mortality produced by co-existent cerebral and peripheral atherosclerosis in a population with coronary artery disease.
The effect on survival of cerebral and lower extremity atherosclerosis was investigated in a cohort of individuals with known coronary artery disease. Those with cerebral and lower extremity atherosclerosis each had mortality ratios about 220% and extra death rates about 27. With the co-existence of both impairments the mortality ratio nearly doubled to 410% and the extra death rate increased t...
