Atherosclerotic stenosis of the extracranial internal carotid artery accounts for 15%-20% of ischemic strokes, depending on the population studied. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is the most frequently performed operation to prevent stroke. Since the 1990s, several randomized controlled trials have been ...
摘要: This chapter reviews the definition of symptomatic carotid stenosis and treatment options, including medical management, carotid endarterectomy, and carotid stenting, and the patient and vascular factors that favor each of these strategies. Imaging of significant stenosis is also reviewed....
carotid stenosis is caused by a buildup of plaque (atherosclerosis) inside the artery wall that reduces blood flow to the brain. Treatment aims to reduce the risk of stroke by controlling or removing plaque

What are the treatment options in Carotid Artery Stenosis? Medical treatment is done for the risk factors for atherosclerosis such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus & dyslipidemia . Patients are also told to stop smoking. Anti-platelet drugs (Dispirin, clopidogrel) are useful to prevent embolic eve...

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 clots. Blood clots can travel to your brain and also cause ...
These results support the concept of embolisation from the carotid bifurcation (residual stump or external stenosis) as a cause of episodic cerebral ischaemia following internal carotid occlusion. Angiodynography may prove to be a useful tool for selecting appropriate patients for treatment. 展开 ...
