New England Journal of MedicineBeneficial Effect of Carotid Endarterectomy in Symptomatic Patients with High-Grade Carotid Stenosis
8,368 Citations1991H. J. M. Barnett
Carotid endarterectomy is highly beneficial to patients with recent hemispheric and retinal transient ischemic attacks or nondisabling strokes and ipsilateral high-grade stenosis of the internal carotid artery.
StrokeInterobserver agreement for the assessment of handicap in stroke patients.
6,454 Citations1988John C. van Swieten, Peter J. Koudstaal +3 more
The results confirm the value of the modified Rankin scale in the assessment of handicap in stroke patients; nevertheless, further improvements are possible.
The LancetMRC European Carotid Surgery Trial: interim results for symptomatic patients with severe (70-99%) or with mild (0-29%) carotid stenosis
3,265 Citations1991Charles Warlow
The main concern was to avoid disabling or fatal events, and, among severe stenosis patients, 3.7% had a disabling stroke (or died) within 30 days of surgery, an extra 1.1% surgery versus 8.4% control (p less than 0.0001).
New England Journal of MedicineEfficacy of Carotid Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis
1,432 Citations1993Robert W. Hobson, David G. Weiss +5 more
Carotid endarterectomy reduced the overall incidence of ipsilateral neurologic events in a selected group of male patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis, and overall mortality was primarily due to coronary atherosclerosis.
New England Journal of MedicineOutcome in Patients with Asymptomatic Neck Bruits
548 Citations1986Brian R. Chambers, John W. Norris
The degree of carotid-artery stenosis on initial presentation was a powerful predictor of neurologic sequelae and patients with asymptomatic cervical bruits have a higher risk of a cardiac ischemic event than of a stroke.
StrokeThe natural history of carotid arterial disease in asymptomatic patients with cervical bruits.
533 Citations1984Ghislaine O. Roederer, Yves Langlois +5 more
This study further supports the contention that it is prudent to follow a conservative course in the management of asymptomatic patients presenting with a cervical bruit.
BrainNATURAL HISTORY OF ASYMPTOMATIC EXTRACRANIAL ARTERIAL DISEASE
317 Citations1987Michael G. Hennerici, H.-B. HÜLSBÖMER +3 more
The observed low rate of strokes without premonitory TIAs is not in favour for early carotid endarterectomy in the majority of neurologically asymptomatic patients.
Journal of Vascular SurgeryThe role of carotid screening before coronary artery bypass
273 Citations1990Gianluca Faggioli, G. Richard Curl +1 more
Carotid screening is helpful to determine patients at increased risk of stroke and should be performed in patients greater than 60 years, and the finding of carotid stenosis greater than 75% in patients over 60 years of age was associated with occurrence of stroke in 15% of cases.
Annals of SurgeryAsymptomatic Carotid Bruit
249 Citations1978Jesse E. Thompson, R. Don Patman +1 more
Asymptomatic carotid bruits may be potential stroke hazards, the risk of which can be significantly reduced by appropriately applied endarterectomy.
PubMedThe natural history of asymptomatic carotid disease in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery.
178 Citations1981Barnes Rw, Liebman Pr +3 more
Asymp-tomatic carotid disease, although correlating poorly with perioperative stroke in patients undergoing cardiovascular operations, identifies patients at risk of late neurologic events and peroperative or late deaths from myocardial infarction.
Archives of SurgeryNatural History of Nonstenotic, Asymptomatic Ulcerative Lesions of the Carotid Artery
121 Citations1982Sherwood M. Dixon
Prophylactic operation for these lesions of the carotid bifurcation is recommended in good surgical candidates, to be performed by surgeons who have demonstrably low operative stroke rates.
StrokeObserver variability in evaluating extracranial carotid artery stenosis.
119 Citations1983P M Chikos, Lloyd D. Fisher +4 more
The addition of oblique views had no statistical effect on estimates of percent stenosis but increased the frequency with which irregularity and ulceration were diagnosed in the internal carotid artery.
NeurologyAsymptomatic tight stenosis of the internal carotid artery
106 Citations1986Julien Bogousslavsky, Paul‐André Despland +1 more
The low risk of unheralded ipsilateral infarct questions the usefulness of prophylactic endarterectomy and Diagnosis and treatment of risk factors and heart disease seem more important.
StrokeMeasurement variability of carotid atherosclerosis: real-time (B-mode) ultrasonography and angiography.
95 Citations1987Daniel H. O’Leary, Fred A. Bryan +8 more
To quantify the within- and between-reader agreement of carotid B-mode ultrasonography and angiography interpretation, images from 117 patients examined by both modalities were read multiple times.
European Journal of Vascular SurgeryScreening of the internal carotid arteries in patients with peripheral vascular disease by colour-flow duplex scanning
85 Citations1991R.B.J. Klop, B.C. Eikelboom +1 more
The results show that there was no correlation between MICAD and the risk factors: hypertension, gender, age, diabetes mellitus, hypercholestolaemia, smoking and ischaemic heart disease.
NeuroepidemiologyPrevalence of Asymptomatic Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis
58 Citations1987M.O. Josse, Pierre‐Jean Touboul +3 more
The prevalence of internal carotid artery stenosis was studied with continuous wave Doppler and Duplex scanning in 526 subjects aged 45-84 years of age, devoid of any cerebrovascular symptoms or signs and not referred to us because of risk factors or manifestations of atherosclerosis.
Cerebrovascular DiseasesPrevalence of Internal Carotid-Artery Stenosis in Subjects Older Than 49 Years: A Population Study
42 Citations1990Stefano Ricci, Flaminio O. Flamini +5 more
A community-based survey of the prevalence of carotid-artery stenosis in subjects older than 49 years has been carried out in the health district of Baiano di Spoleto (Umbria, Italy).
Mayo Clinic ProceedingsEffectiveness of Carotid Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: Design of a Clinical Trial
40 Citations1989
A prospective randomized controlled trial design is being used, and selection of patients with asymptomatic pressure-significant carotid stenosis is based on the results of ocular pneumoplethysmography and either duplex ultrasound scanning or digital subtraction angiography.
European Journal of Vascular SurgeryAsymptomatic carotid stenosis: A benign lesion?
31 Citations1992Gregor D. Shanik, Dermot J. Moore +3 more
The natural history of a randomly selected group of asymptomatic patients with documented carotid artery disease who were prospectively followed without intervention for up to 8 years is reported, finding the incidence of ischaemic events is significantly higher in patients with greater than 80% stenosis.
Journal of Vascular SurgeryManagement of asymptomatic carotid bruit
13 Citations1987Mary Ellis, Roger M. Greenhalgh
It is concluded that for asymptomatic carotid bruit it is safe to wait for the onset of symptoms before angiography and corrective reconstructive surgery.
