abstract

our aim was to report techniques and our experience in one-stage angioplasty and stenting of ostium of left common carotid and left internal carotid arteries in an octogenarian man with transient ischemic attack, who was completely recovered from neurologic insults short time after the procedure. an 81-year-old man presented with a transient ischemic attack. neurologic examination showed left side transient visual obscuration or amaurosis fugax and right hemiparesis. carotid duplex imaging revealed an 80% stenosis of the left internal carotid artery (lica) and 95 % of the ostium of left common carotid artery (left cca). immediate brain mri wasn’t possible. angioplasty and stenting of both lesions (left cca and lica ) was performed successfully without complications in one session. stenting of common carotid artery ostial lesion and internal carotid artery (due to significant lesion) in one session could be done even in acute neurologic phase and also in very old patients, provided that, considering technical ways for neuroprotection and avoidance of other complications.

ANGIOPLASTY AND STENTING OF CAROTID ARTERY STENOSIS WITH EMBOLIC PROTECTION DEVICES

Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has recently been recommended as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) by some clinicians. Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the success rate and in-hospital and 30-day adverse events in our first experiences in Iran for CAS with protection devices, to document our results and guide further use of CAS. Methods: From December 2...

Carotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion

Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...

Stenting and angioplasty of the symptomatic chronically occluded carotid artery.

Patients with hemodynamic impairment ipsilateral to a carotid occlusion are at a high risk of subsequent stroke, and currently 2 surgical options have been studied: extracranial-to-intracranial bypass and direct thromboendarterectomy. We report the successful revascularization of 2 symptomatic chronically occluded carotid arteries with stenting and angioplasty.

The Current Status of Carotid Artery Angioplasty and Stenting

Background As a result of important landmark studies such as the North American Carotid Endarterectomy trial (NASCET) and the Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerotic Study (ACAS), surgical intervention has been found to be beneficial in decreasing the relative risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with significant carotid artery atherosclerotic disease. However, carotid endarterectomy still ...
