Carotid duplex ultrasound after carotid stenting
Nature of the scan Generally, a follow-up scan after a carotid stenting procedure is performed for the surveillance of the stent, not for monitoring of the untreated contralateral carotid. Hence, if the contralateral artery is not significantly stenosed, we perform ipsilateral scans only (i.e. “targeted US”). Since the distal/cephalic end of the carotid stent can be placed well distal/cephalic ...
متن کاملIs routine duplex ultrasound surveillance after carotid endarterectomy cost-effective?
BACKGROUND Although duplex ultrasound surveillance of patients after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is routinely performed, the use of this policy has been questioned. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of this strategy. METHODS Using a decision-analytic Markov model that depicts the natural history of patients after CEA, we compared a strategy of duplex ultrasound surveillance to a strategy o...

متن کاملAcute carotid stent thrombosis after carotid artery stenting.
BACKGROUND Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a reasonable alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA), especially in patients at high risk for surgery. Carotid artery thrombosis of the treated segment is a rare, early but potentially devastating complication of this endovascular procedure. The aim of this article is to identify and critically review cases of acute stent thrombosis reported in th...
متن کاملInstent restenosis after carotid stenting necessitating open carotid surgical repair.
A 64-year-old male presented with amaurosis fugax and presyncope as symptomatic 80%-in-stent restenosis (60 mm stent) 17 months after right internal carotid artery intervention (Fig. 1). Intraoperatively the carotid-stent was completely explanted (Fig. 2). Venous patch plasty was performed. He recovered early without any ischemic event. At follow-up 6 months later the patient remained completel...
