Abstract

This study was performed to demonstrate the value and durability of intraoperative retrograde angioplasty for stenotic lesions of the aortic arch branches at the time of carotid endarterectomy for the treatment of tandem proximal and bifurcation carotid lesions. Retrospective analysis of the clinical data. Forty-four patients were included in this study when they presented with symptomatic extracranial vascular disease due to stenosis of both a proximal aortic arch branch and carotid bifurcation disease. Tandem disease was detected in the vascular laboratory and confirmed by angiography. Each patient was subjected to conventional carotid endarterectomy, and at the time of operation, the proximal lesion was subjected to transluminal angioplasty through the endarterectomy arteriotomy (brachiocephalic 24; left common carotid 15; right common carotid artery five). Patients were then followed up clinically and by non-invasive tests at 6-monthly intervals. Forty-three successful dilatations were achieved. The single initial technical failure was due to heavy calcification of a brachiocephalic artery. In the follow-up period restenosis was noted in four patients. All restenosis occurred within 24 months. No restenosis at the angioplas...Continue Reading
