94 In particular, the routine use of a temporary shunt has been proposed to reduce the hemodynamic shock after occlusion of the internal carotid artery, which is associated with the likelihood of hemorrhagic transformation.95 It is this complication that has become the most frequent adverse ...
Strong adhesion to the carotid artery may occur even in small tumors. Therefore, regardless of tumor size, it is advisable to assess the patient's tolerance to carotid artery occlusion prior to surgery. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct vascular angiography before surgery to ascertain the ...
In this preliminary screening process, we identified all patients who had carotid imaging text reports indicating greater than 70% carotid stenosis or a qualitative description of near occlusion, critical stenosis, or severe stenosis.

In 27.553 cases with an occlusion and stenosis of precerebral arteries, not resulting in cerebral infarction, 17.036 (61.8%) had a CEA and 3.156 (11.5%) a CAS procedure.CEA is still the primary treatment of extracranial artery stenosis. The impact of CAS becomes mainly apparent in cases ...

Variables from cross-walked claims were mapped to event log equivalents (patient ID → case ID; service date timestamp; insured service → process activity; claiming practitioner ID → resource; referring practitioner ID and ICD-9 diagnosis were included as additional fields...
Combining the search code 38.12 with the additional criteria: (1) 38.12 had to be in the primary procedural position and not in any secondary position; (2) the presence of diagnosis code 433. with any fourth digit (occlusion/stenosis, precerebral artery); and (3) the presence of diagnostic...
