A systematic review supporting the Society for Vascular Surgery Guidelines on the management of carotid artery disease

Bashar Hasan et al.

Summary: This systematic review compared medical management with carotid interventions, CEA with CAS in different patient populations, optimal timing of revascularization post-stroke, screening high-risk patients, and intervention sequence in patients with combined diseases. The results showed that CEA had superior long-term outcomes in different populations, and the optimal timing for revascularization post-stroke was between 2-14 days after onset.

The benefit of deferred carotid revascularization in patients with moderate-severe disabling cerebral ischemic stroke

Rodolfo Pini et al.

Summary: The timing of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with recent moderate-severe ischemic stroke and large-volume cerebral ischemic lesion (LVCIL) is crucial. Delaying the intervention by more than 4 weeks may significantly reduce the risk of perioperative/recurrent stroke.

Carotid Endarterectomy with Modified Eversion Technique: Results of a Single Center

Gian Franco Veraldi et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the outcomes of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with modified eversion technique (meCEA) under local anesthesia, comparing the results between a single Senior Operator group and a group of 4 young Consultants. The study found that meCEA is safe and achieves outcomes comparable to other established techniques, with short operative and cross-clamp times and fewer postoperative neurological complications.

Risk of Stroke before Revascularisation in Patients with Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Pooled Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials

Urs Fisch et al.

Summary: Recent large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis awaiting revascularization have a lower risk of stroke compared to historical controls. The benefits of carotid revascularization in addition to modern medical care should be further studied, but currently early revascularization is still recommended for these patients.

Carotid stenosis management: time to address the misconceptions ('furphies')

Anne L. Abbott

Summary: Improper management of carotid artery disease for stroke prevention is prevalent, with accumulating misconceptions driving overuse of carotid artery procedures and inappropriate use of medicines. Recognition and correction of these misconceptions is essential to improve disease management and patient outcomes.

Low Risk of Neurological Recurrence while Awaiting Carotid Endarterectomy: Results From a Danish Multicentre Study

Martin Lawaetz et al.

Summary: The study found that very few ipsilateral neurological recurrences occurred within 14 days in symptomatic carotid artery stenosis patients awaiting carotid endarterectomy. Immediate institution of best medical treatment followed by early, but not necessarily urgent, carotid endarterectomy is a reasonable course of action for patients with high grade symptomatic carotid artery stenosis.

Prognostic interaction between age and sex on outcomes following carotid endarterectomy

Mario D'Oria et al.

Summary: This study found that there were no significant differences in peri-operative neurological outcomes between males and females, whether they had symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid stenosis. However, despite being generally older, females had superior long-term survival rates.
