The need for carefully planned and conducted trials as far as the indications and the accepted outcome are concerned was obvious. The results of these trials (5, 15) define some universally accepted indications for surgery, such as tight stenosis of internal carotid of 75% or ulcerated plaque,...
The updated Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines for the management of extracranial carotid disease recommend CEA as the first-line treatment for most symptomatic patients with stenosis of 50% to 99% and asymptomatic patients with stenosis of 60% to 99%.21However, the perioperative risk for stro...
Medical therapy has improved considerably in the past two decades, and this has reduced the stroke rate for both symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenoses. In recent community-based studies, the stroke risk with asymptomatic stenosis has been <1% per year. For asymptomatic carotid stenosis, new...
People who have coronary artery disease requiring coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery often have narrowing of other arteries. If the carotid artery, the artery carrying blood to the brain, is narrow (called carotid stenosis), this may increase the risk of stroke and other brain damage,...
(Carotid Artery Stenosis with Asymptomatic Narrowing: Operation Versus Aspirin) is a multicenter trial in 410 patients with asymptomatic stenosis (50-90%) of the internal carotid artery who were randomized after angiography.In group A, 206 patients with unilateral and bilateral stenosis had surgery ...
