Abstract:
The manuscript is devoted to world experience of carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting in advanced age patients. Some authors report the advantages of endovascular surgery in elderly patients while the others prefer carotid endarterectomy. Senile patients (75-80 years old) with asymptomatic internal carotid artery stenosis is one of the most difficult group for the management. This is due to a more complex assessment of perioperative surgical risk, high incidence of complicated atherosclerotic plaques in carotid arteries and dubious benefits of surgery considering short life expectancy and severe comorbidities. Accumulation of experience in the management of advanced age patients should be valuable for either optimizing or individualizing surgical strategy.
