    Treatment of asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

    Platelets·2010

    Managing asymptomatic carotid stenosis requires individualized treatment due to lack of established therapy. A large trial is underway to determine the role of surgical intervention for carotid artery disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Neurology
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Noninvasive screening identifies more patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis.
    • Optimal management strategies for these patients remain undefined.
    • Individualized treatment is necessary pending further research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the natural history of asymptomatic carotid lesions.
    • To determine the efficacy of surgical intervention (carotid endarterectomy).
    • To identify high-risk patient groups for prophylactic surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • A Veterans Administration Cooperative Study is examining cerebrovascular symptoms in relation to stenosis degree, progression, and other factors.
    • Analysis includes contralateral disease and non-carotid operations.

  • Current guidelines emphasize low morbidity/mortality (<3%) and acceptable cardiac risk for surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients with hemodynamically significant stenoses identified by OPG (Oculopneumoplethysmography) techniques show higher risk for cerebral ischemic events.
    • Disease progression identified by OPG-K/CPA correlates with stroke (17.5%) and TIA (33%) incidence.
    • Carotid restenosis occurs in 10-15% of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Prophylactic carotid endarterectomy requires careful patient selection, focusing on high-risk groups.
    • Surgeons must achieve combined morbidity and mortality rates below 3%.
    • Observation until symptoms or >80% stenosis is a potential management approach.
