Modern Imaging in the Management of Cervical Carotid Stenosis
Abstract:Most carotid artery disease is now imaged noninvasively given the availability of modern neuroimaging techniques. Concordance between noninvasive imaging modalities is sufficient in most cases to allow appropriate patient treatment. However, in the face of discordant noninvasive data where the degree of stenosis and presence of a complete occlusion are in question brachiocephalic angiography is employed. Additionally angiography allows for the morphological delineation of the stenosis, tandem lesions and exten… Show more
