Carotid Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic Disease: Does Degree of Stenosis Influence Outcome?

Abstract

Partial 1 Noncontrast CT Aortogram Patent SMA, celiac 2 Replaced R hepatic artery Aortogram Patent SMA, celiac Complete 1 Collaterals poorly visualized Selective SMA Angiogram SMA to celiac collaterals 2 Pancreaticoduodenal collaterals visualized Aortogram SMA to celiac collaterals 3 Chronic celiac occlusion Aortogram SMA to celiac collaterals 4 Replaced R hepatic artery

Color Doppler sonographic evaluation of flow volume of the internal carotid and vertebral arteries after carotid endarterectomy

“…31 Our study suggested that there were no differences in the hemodynamic changes after the CEA with regard to the operated ICA degree of stenosis. The hemodynamic effect of the CEA appeared to be similar in all patients.…”

Ultrasonografic monitoring of hemodynamic parameters in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with high-grade carotid stenosis prior and following carotid endarterectomy

“…Zaklju eno je da je optimalno vreme za operaciju period do dve nedelje od pojave simptoma karotidne stenoze. Svi asimptomatski bolesnici sa stenozom ICA 60% koji su planirani za CEA imaju prihvatljivo mali mortalitet i morbiditet 20 .…”
