    Patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and mild symptoms had a significant risk of stroke, with a 5% annual stroke rate. Further research is needed to determine if bypass surgery can reduce this risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion can lead to stroke, particularly in patients with mild or no initial neurological deficits.
    • Understanding the long-term risk in this specific patient subgroup is crucial for clinical management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To prospectively evaluate the incidence of cerebral infarction and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) in patients with ICA occlusion and minimal neurological deficits.
    • To assess the long-term stroke risk and mortality in this patient population.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective follow-up of 47 patients with ICA occlusion and mild/no neurological deficits for an average of 34.4 months.
    • Monitoring for cerebral infarction, TIAs, and mortality.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • 11 patients (23.5%) experienced cerebral infarction, with two-thirds ipsilateral to the occluded artery.
    • The annual stroke rate distal to the occluded ICA was 5%.
    • 51% of patients experienced recurrent TIAs in the territory of the occluded artery; mortality was 8.5%.

    Conclusions:

    • Patients with ICA occlusion and mild neurological deficits face a substantial risk of future stroke and TIAs.
    • The potential benefit of extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery in this subgroup remains uncertain and is being investigated in ongoing trials.
