Determinants of success in treating acute ischemic cerebral and ocular ischemia through carotid revascularization. An observational study of a case series
Abstract:Objective: stroke etiology is ischemia in 85%, and in circa 25% of these, the source is the extracranial carotid. Recurrence is frequent and usually more severe. Carotid revascularization prevents new ischemic strokes. The sooner the treatment is undertaken, complete recovery chances are greater with less recurrences. But, historically, intervention in the acute setting was catastrophic. Objective: Identify determinants of success when carotid revascularization after a recent cerebral ischemic event is perfor… Show more
