Hintergrund: Anhand der Blutflußgeschwindigkeit und eines Widerstandsindex wurden die Veränderungen der zerebralen Perfusion nach Karotis-Thrombendarterektomie (TEA) untersucht.
Patienten und Methoden: Bei 81 Patienten (Alter: 64 ± 8 Jahre) wurden nach ...
In patients with diabetic angiopathy until today, no histological nor histochemical evidence has been found to define a specific type of diabetic arteriopathy. Consequently, diabetic arteriosclerosis is considered as a more serious form of atherosclerosis ...
Approximately 15% of ischemic strokes are caused by extracranial carotid stenoses. Revascularization of a symptomatic stenosis is very efficacious in carefully selected patients. This review outlines criteria which help to identify those who will benefit ...
Die Schaumsklerosierung ist eine sichere, effektive und zunehmend häufiger eingesetzte Behandlungsform der Varikose. Bei einer 48 jährigen Patientin mit einem zum Zeitpunkt der Sklerosierung nicht bekannten offenen Foramen ovale kam es 5 Tage nach zweiter ...
Major and long-awaited trials comparing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with carotid stenting (CAS) were published in recent years. Both, ICSS and CREST, documented a higher rate of periprocedural stroke and death in CAS, in particular in elderly patients, ...
Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is frequently present in patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, there are limited data regarding the association between ankle brachial index (ABI) ≤ 0.90 (which is diagnostic of PAD) or > 1.40 (...
Radiation induced atherosclerosis of the carotid artery is a clinically relevant late complication after head and neck radiotherapy. Improved long-term survival after multimodality therapy in neck malignancies result in an increased risk of carotid artery ...
Abstract. Background: We analyses the effect of gender on short and long-term morbidity and mortality in carotid endarterectomy (CEA) under loco-regional anesthesia. Patients and methods: Patients who were entered into a prospectively compiled ...
Abstract. Background: We present the methods and results of the surgical management of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECCA). Postoperative complications including early and late neurological events were analysed. Correlation between reconstruction ...
Abstract. Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is currently used as an alternative treatment to carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The objective of this study was to analyse our 5-year experience performing CAS. Secondarily, we sought to determine ...
Abstract.Background: This study aimed to utilize high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate the characteristics of stable and vulnerable carotid arteriosclerotic plaques, with correlations to ...
Abstract.Background: Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of ischaemic stroke in the general population but its impact on early outcome after the carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is controversial with conflicting ...
Abstract.Background: In randomized controlled trials (RCTs) direct acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) showed a superior risk-benefit profile in comparison to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for patients with ...
Summary. Acute occlusion of the extracranial internal carotid artery (eICA) is associated with poor prognosis. Surgical desobliteration has not received adequate attention in recent years. We therefore conducted a literature review and ...
Summary:Background: To assess the vascular and clinical course of acute symptomatic extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion. Patients and methods: Patients with an acute ischemic event in the anterior circulation and ...
Summary:Background: The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic interaction between age and sex on peri-operative and follow-up outcomes following elective carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for asymptomatic and symptomatic carotid ...
Summary:Background: This study aimed to evaluate risk factors for adverse outcomes and perioperative stroke and death in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis undergoing open endarterectomy (CEA). The second objective was to assess ...
Summary:Background: The total endovascular repair of the aortic arch is becoming more and more an acceptable alternative to the open repair in selected patients. The aim of the present study is to perform a meta-analysis of the available ...
