[Atheroma: which carotids should be surgically treated?].

A Autret, D Saudeau

    Presse Medicale (Paris, France : 1983)
    |February 8, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Carotid bifurcation atheroma causes 15% of French cerebrovascular attacks. Endarterectomy shows therapeutic value, but a randomized trial is needed to confirm its benefit and acceptable morbidity for carotid stenosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Neurology
    • Cardiology

    Context:

    • Carotid bifurcation atheroma accounts for 15% of annual cerebrovascular attacks in France.
    • Asymptomatic carotid stenosis has an imperfectly understood natural history, with a 0.7% annual risk of ischemic complications for >50% stenosis.
    • Current treatment lacks medical options, with uncontrolled studies suggesting endarterectomy's therapeutic value.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the therapeutic value of carotid endarterectomy for carotid stenosis.
    • To determine the maximum tolerable morbidity rate for carotid endarterectomy.
    • To compare endarterectomy outcomes with natural history data for carotid stenosis.

    Summary:

    • Endarterectomy is a potential treatment for carotid stenosis, supported by uncontrolled studies.
    • A randomized trial is necessary to establish the definitive value of endarterectomy and its acceptable risks.
    • Extracranial arterial occlusion studies suggest endarterectomy is beneficial for transient ischemic attacks with a tolerable morbidity of 3%.

    Impact:

    • Non-invasive ultrasound detection may increase surgical rates for carotid stenosis.
    • Data suggests endarterectomy may benefit specific cases of stroke, particularly tight or ulcerated stenoses.
    • Preoperative cardiac assessment is crucial due to high comorbidity in these patients.
