Abstract

Carotid artery stenosis represents one of the most common etiologies of stroke. One of current treatment modalities available for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis is carotid artery stenting (CAS). CAS is a less invasive revascularization strategy than carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in carotid artery stenosis. To determine outcome of CAS in symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis patients in Siriraj Hospital. The authors enrolled 82 patients with carotid artery stenosis that underwent carotid artery stenting between January 2006 and January 2010. Baseline characteristics were collected. Comorbid medical conditions (age > or = 80 years, congestive heart failure class III/IV angina pectoris class III/IV left main or > or = 2 vessels coronary artery disease, urgent heart surgery < 30 days, left ventricular ejection fraction < 30%, recent myocardial infarction < 30 days, severe chronic lung disease, severe renal disease) and anatomic features (lesion at second cervicle or higher; lesion below clavicle, prior radical neck surgery or radiation, prior ipsilateral CEA, contralateral laryngeal nerve palsy, tracheostomy) that are associated with increased complications after CEA were analyzed. Primary endpoint of the pr...Continue Reading
