One death was observed due to a postoperative stroke. One transient ischemic attack was observed during the postoperative period. The postoperative morbidity/mortality rate was 3.2%. The mean length of stay was 5.1+/-1.7 days. Survival of 5 years (mean follow-up) was 70%. All surviving ...
event. Carotid revascularization is contraindicated in patients with chronic totalcarotid occlusion, less than 50% stenosis, and severe disability due to stroke. Symptomatic patients have a reduced annual stroke risk of 1.1%, stroke-free 5-year survival of 93%, and actuarial 5-year survival of ...
Reduction in sodium intake improves the survival of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR-SP) without causing any change in their blood pressure.To investigate whether the diuretic indapamide improves survival of SHR-SP and whether changes in the structure and the function of large arterie...
CAD is also called carotid artery stenosis.What causes CAD?Plaque can build up in your carotid arteries and cause narrowing, or stenosis. Buildup of plaque can cause problems with blood supply to your brain. This can result in a stroke. Plaque buildup also increases your risk for blood ...
To study the role of carotid stenosis (CS) and cerebrovascular disease as independent risk factors for perioperative stroke following surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was used for our study. All patients who underwent SAVR from 1999 to 2011 wer...
15 If the decrease in stroke rate among patients with carotid artery stenosis is associated with improvements in primary stroke prevention, revascularization may no longer be the preferred treatment strategy. Since the first RCT was published that demonstrated the superiority of CEA compared with ...
Carotid artery stenting increased short-term risk for stroke or death more than endarterectomy in symptomatic carotid stenosis ACP Journal ClubHankey, Graeme J.
The overall perioperative stroke rate in our patient cohort was 2.79%. Majority (94.6%) of the strokes were ischemic. Multivariate analysis showed the following independent risk factors for perioperative strokes after TAVI: female gender odds ratio (OR) = 2.25 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.42...
This study uses registry data to compare stroke and death outcomes for patients with carotid artery stenosis undergoing transcarotid artery
Purpose: The role of erectile dysfunction (ED) has recently shown an association with the risk of stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) via the atherosclerotic pathway. Cardiovascular disease (CVD)/stroke risk has been widely understood with the help of carotid artery disease (CTAD), a surroga...
