Carotid endarterectomy: applying trial results in clinical practice.

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.

Efficacy 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...

Carotid stenosis in women: time for a reappraisal

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...

International 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. ...
