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 patients were free of neurological symptoms. Long-term deaths were due to cancer (one), the myocardial infarction (one), and ...
cardiovascular surgeon Denton A. Cooley, MD, (b. 1920) was the first to report using an intravascular shunt to permit distal blood flow during cross-clamping incarotid artery surgery.24These last three names are considered as crucial in the modern era of carotid surgery....
TCT-552: Fast track Carotid Surgery is the gold standard for High-risk (HRP) Carotid Artery Intervention: Five year Cost-effectiveness and Quality Stroke Free Survival comparison Carotid artery stenting is emerging as an intervention for high-risk nonsurgical patients with high-grade symptomatic carot...
The survival rate of the entire group of 151 patients with retinal artery occlusion was not significantly different from that of the age- and sex-matched group ( P =0.29). Among the patients evaluated with continuous-wave Doppler sonography, the presence or the absence of the atheromatous ...

(10%). Survival after surgery also is more common (75%) for patients with aneurysms infected with gram-positive cocci than for patients with gram-negative bacilli (25%). Antibiotics should be used in this disease, however, even if the lesion is sterilized (reported in only three cases...
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...
), stroke rate by life-table analysis (P = 0.33), or survival by life-table analysis (P = 0.43).Conclusions: Patients who have carotid endarterectomy performed contralateral to an occluded internal carotid artery showed no difference for perioperative stroke or death, late stroke, or survival....
The standard procedure for assessing the pulse rate is to palpate the carotid artery at the side of the trachea (Figure 1-14) or the radial artery on the thumb side of the wrist (Figure 1-15). The pulse should be palpated for 1 minute so that rhythm abnormalities are more likely to ...
