Suggested standards for reports dealing with cerebrovascular disease

Clinical Outcomes of Carotid Endarterectomy in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Patients with Ipsilateral Intracranial Stenosis

“…Brain imaging (CT or MRI) was performed in all patients presenting a new neurological deficit after CEA. Any complications and events observed during the follow-up were recorded in accordance with the guidelines of the Ad Hoc Committee on Reporting Standards for Cerebrovascular Disease, Society for Vascular Surgery/North American Chapter of the International Society of Cardiovascular Surgery [27].…”

Carotid Endarterectomy in Patients with Contralateral Carotid Artery Occlusion

“…Recent studies of carotid stenting suggest that this technique may be preferable in patients with CO because of the perceived inferior results of surgical treatment. [6][7][8] In contrast, multiple surgical series in the literature have reported excellent outcomes of CEA in patients with CO. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] The definition of high risk has not been established, and it varies considerably between advocates of surgical versus endovascular treatment of carotid stenosis. Many authors have challenged the concept of high-risk CEA, demonstrating that surgery can be safe, effective, and durable even in patients assumed to be at high risk.…”

Gender-based outcomes after eversion carotid endarterectomy from 1998 to 2009

“…Other complications and events observed during follow-up were recorded in accordance with the guidelines of the Ad Hoc Committee on Reporting Standards for Cerebrovascular Disease, Society for Vascular Surgery/ North American Chapter of the International Society of Cardiovascular Surgery. 35 Endpoints were perioperative stroke and death, carotid restenoses or late occlusions, and stroke-free and overall survival rates.…”
