ANGIOPLASTY AND STENTING OF CAROTID ARTERY STENOSIS WITH EMBOLIC PROTECTION DEVICES
Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has recently been recommended as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) by some clinicians. Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the success rate and in-hospital and 30-day adverse events in our first experiences in Iran for CAS with protection devices, to document our results and guide further use of CAS. Methods: From December 2...
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
متن کاملAssociation between high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and/or microembolic signals after carotid angioplasty and stenting
Background: To evaluate the association between pre/post-procedural high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level and hs-CRP difference, and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or new diffusion-weighted MRI lesions after carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). Methods: In this study, conducted in 2016 in Shiraz (Iran), patients who underwent diagnostic angiography and CAS...
متن کاملCarotid Artery Stenting for Symptomatic Stenosis of the Cervical Carotid Artery Associated with Persistent Primitive Hypoglossal Artery: A Case Report
Objective: A case of symptomatic cervical carotid artery stenosis with persistent primitive hypoglossal artery (PPHA) treated by carotid artery stenting (CAS) with appropriate embolic protection is reported. Case Presentation: The patient was a 65-year-old male presenting with left hemiplegia. MRI revealed infarction in the right cerebral hemisphere, and cerebral angiography demonstrated stenos...
متن کاملBalloon angioplasty for embolic total occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and ipsilateral carotid stenting in an acute stroke stage.
A 66-year-old man suffering from neurologic symptoms caused by acute embolic total occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery was treated successfully with balloon angioplasty, and an ipsilateral carotid stenosis subsequently was dilated with stenting. The patient's clinical outcome 30 days later was favorable. This therapeutic option may prove to be a useful means of treating a patient with ...
