Carotid endarterectomy without angiography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carotid endarterectomy without preoperative angiography is a viable alternative that avoids the risk of angiography and potentially reduces the overall morbidity and mortality associated with the workup of patients with carotid artery disease and surgical management. The success of this approach is dependent upon the accuracy of the history and physical examination, acquisition of a CT head scan, and the validity of the duplex scan in a given laboratory.

متن کاملComplications of cerebral angiography for patients with mild carotid territory ischaemia being considered for carotid endarterectomy.
It is essential to image the carotid bifurcation adequately in patients with symptomatic carotid territory ischaemia if they are being considered for carotid endarterectomy. Optimal resolution is achieved by selective intraarterial contrast angiography which is an invasive procedure carrying some risk. The overall risk-benefit of carotid endarterectomy is currently being investigated in several...
