Treatment of extracranial carotid stenosisHamann, G. FDeutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift
Carotid stenosis accounts for 10–20% of cases of brain infarction, depending on the population studied. Despite successful treatment of selected patients who have had an acute ischaemic stroke with tissue plasminogen activator and the promise of other experimental therapies, prevention remains the best...
Impact of carotid stenosis on the outcome of stroke patients submitted to reperfusion treatments: a narrative review (CS); II) assess the impact of ICS and CCS on cerebral hemodynamics; III) evaluate the effect of carotid stenosis on the efficacy of interventional ... G Viticchi,L Falsetti,...
The endovascular treatment of carotid artery stenosis has undergone substantial refinement since its introduction, and carotid artery angioplasty and stenting is now widely performed on symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Well-designed, large randomized prospective trials showed that carotid endarterectomy pro...
Had we taken this approach, the results would have been relevant to fewer than half the centres currently doing carotid surgery. We believe that clinical trials should involve a range of centres representing routine clinical practice so that the results can be widely applied. If only expert ...
PURPOSE: To present illustrative cases that demonstrate the feasibility and clinical benefits of endovascular treatment of external carotid artery (ECA) stenoses in patients with occluded internal carotid arteries (ICA). CASE REPORTS: Three patients with symptoms of cerebrovascular insufficiency and a ste...
Surgical indications for asymptomatic surgery may be recalled through the acronym CAROTID, which emphasizes knowledge of risk benefit to a particular patient, adequate disclosure, and physician--patient equipoise. 展开 关键词:Carotid Stenosis 颈动脉狭窄 ...
treatment of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis by neurologists, interventional neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons, and neurosurgeons in a multidisciplinary neurovascular board and to study adherence to treatment recommendations in the context of uncertainty with respect to the best treatment option. ...
Purpose To project and compare the lifetime health benefits, health care costs, and incremental cost-effectiveness of a decision rule based on assessment of cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) compared with medical therapy and immediate revascularization in asymptomatic patients with carotid artery stenosis for...
At present, PTAST represents the method of treatment of high-grade carotid stenosis in selected cases and institutions; it may be an alternative to CEA in the following subgroups of patients: hostile neck, high stenosis, but not per se in patients with recurrent stenosis or so called "high-...
