Carotid endarterectomy: applying trial results in clinical practice.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 actifs consiste à appliquer les résultats d’études à leurs patients. L’établissement d’antécédents détaillés et la détermination exacte de l’ampleur de la sténose de la carotide permettent d’évaluer les risques et les avantages de la chirurgie. Il est peu probable que l’on dispose jamais de lignes directrices universelles, et un solide jugement clinique demeure donc essentiel.

Asymptomatic carotid stenosis: What we can learn from the next generation of randomized clinical trials
Stroke remains an exceedingly incident and prevalent public health burden across the globe, with an estimated 16 million new strokes per annum and prevalence over 60 million, and extracranial internal carotid artery atherosclerotic disease is an important risk factor for stroke. Randomized trials of surgical treatment were conducted (North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial, Euro...
متن کاملEfficacy versus effectiveness of carotid endarterectomy.
CONTEXT Several well-known clinical trials have demonstrated that the value of carotid endarterectomy depends on preoperative symptoms and the degree of carotid artery stenosis. The benefit of surgery also depends on how the results of these clinical trials (defining the efficacy of carotid endarterectomy) are applied to actual clinical practice (the effectiveness of the procedure), where surgi...
متن کاملImpact of Clinical Trial Results on the Temporal Trends of Carotid Endarterectomy and Stenting From 2002 to 2014
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Randomized trials provide conflicting data for the efficacy of carotid-artery stenting compared with endarterectomy. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of conflicting clinical trial publications on the utilization rates of carotid revascularization procedures. METHODS We conducted a population-level time-series analysis of all individuals who underwent ...

The treatment approach for patients with internal carotid artery stenosis is receiving increased scrutiny. Major advances in optimal medical therapy have been associated with a declining stroke rate for symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with carotid stenosis. Customising treatment according to gender is worthy of consideration, since earlier clinical trials showed reduced benefit with carot...
متن کاملInternational carotid stenting study: protocol for a randomised clinical trial comparing carotid stenting with endarterectomy in symptomatic carotid artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND Carotid stenting avoids general anaesthesia, cranial nerve injury and the discomforts of surgical treatment of carotid stenosis. A systematic review of the randomised trials showed no overall difference in the major risks of endovascular treatment for carotid stenosis compared with surgery, but the confidence intervals were wide and both methods carried a significant risk of stroke. ...
