ABSTRACT
OBJECT The effective management of carotid occlusive disease still remains a challenge to neurosurgeons. The authors analyzed the series of management of carotid occlusive disease in order to determine whether our management strategy affected patient's clinical outcomes. Methods of identifying patients who stand to benefit from this therapy need to be established. METHOD:
Clinical findings, management, complications and outcome in 52 patients with high grade carotid stenosis of at least 70% and occlusion were investigated. The patients were treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and/or stent (PTAS), Extracranial-Intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery, carotid endarterectomy (CEA) according to the neurologic status, medical condition, severerity of stenosis, collateral blood flow.RESULTS:
The causes of carotid stenosis were 40 atherosclerosis arteries, 9 spontaneous dissections and 2 traumas, 1 fibomuscular dysplasia (FMD) of 52 patients. 9 patients were treated by PTA alone, and 28 patients by PTAS, 9 patients by EC-IC bypass surgery, 3 patients by PTAS followed by EC-IC bypass surgery, 3 patients by CEA. For the outcome according to management, 26 patients (100% of all bypass surgery only and CEA, 35% of all PTA and PTAS) recovered excellently, 14 patients (35% of all PTA and PTAS) had a good outcome. 2 patients died.CONCLUSION:
The results of this study suggest that PTAS should be a useful and effective treatment method for some patients with the severe atherosclerotic stenosis or carotid artery dissection. However, the surgical management must be considered for the high risk, high grade carotid stenosis patients with collateral blood flow, and with or without mild or moderate deficits.Key words
