Revascularization approaches in patients with radiation-induced carotid stenosis: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: CAS and CEA appear to have a similar safety and efficacy profile in patients with radiation-induced carotid artery stenosis. Patients treated with CEA have a higher risk for periprocedural CN injuries. Future prospective studies are warranted to validate these results.PMID:33885270 | DOI:10.33963/KP.15956

Outcomes of Carotid Endarterectomy with Primary Closure
Conclusions This study presents our experience with complications after primary closure after CEA. In our experience, CEA is a safe and effective surgical means of preventing stroke in the short term. Well-designed prospective studies are needed to confirm specific patient characteristics in which primary closure and patch angioplasty are indicated.

Carotid artery stenting
Learning objectives After reading this article the reader should:Know the appropriate diagnostic workup for patients with carotid artery disease. Be able to put in perspective, based on strengths and limitations, the results of randomised trials comparing carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy. Be able to identify patients that may benefit from carotid artery stenting. Introduction In western countries, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death, after heart disease, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases.1 Carotid artery disease may be responsible for 10–15% of all ischaemic strokes.2 Randomised contro...
