formthebasilararterysuperiorly10(Fig.3.5;Table3.1).
III.AtheroscleroticDisease
A.CausesofIschemicStroke
1. Extracranial carotid artery disease is one of the leading causes of ischemic stroke accounting for
approximately10%ofallischemicstrokes.
2. Carotid artery revascularization in the setting of extracranial atherosclerotic disease, with either
carotid endarterectomy(CEA) or carotid arterystenting (CAS), is now well-established treatmentfor
symptomaticandasymptomaticcarotidatheroscleroticdiseaseinspecificpatients.
11
3.Asnoteverypatientwithextracranialcarotidarteryatheroscleroticdiseasecarriesthe sameriskof
future stroke, key risk factors should be considered to determine which specific patients should be
revascularized.
B.RiskFactors
1. Major riskfactors include the degree of stenosis and characteristics of the plaque seen withinthe
https://t.me/med1917

artery.
2.Otherpatient-specificcharacteristicsincludeage,gender,andcomorbidmedicalconditions.
C.ModalityforRevascularization
1.Thechoiceofmodalityforrevascularizationisbasedonacombinationofthesekeyriskfactorsand
anatomicconsiderations.
2. We review recent trial evidence surrounding carotid revascularization in both symptomatic and
asymptomaticcarotidarterydisease,andthedatasupportingpatientselectionforeachmodality.
3.Afewdefinitionsareimportanttoknowtounderstandandcomparethetrialdata.
D.DefiningCarotidArteryStenosis
1.In theNorthAmericanSymptomaticCarotidEndarterectomyTrial(NASCET),auniformmethodfor
measurement of percentage carotid stenosis at angiography was defined by comparing the minimal
residuallumenat thelevel ofthe stenotic lesion withthe diameter of the more distal internal carotid
arteryatwhichthewallsofthearteryfirstbecomeparallel(beyondanypoststenoticdilatation).
2.Thefollowingformulaisused:Degreeofstenosis=(1−A/B)×100%.
a. AisthediameteratthepointofmaximumstenosisandBisthediameterofthearterialsegmentdistal
tothestenosiswherethewallsfirstbecomeparallel.
12
b. ThismethodofmeasurementhasbeenadaptedtoCTangiography.
c. It is routinely used to define carotid stenosis in current and ongoing trials. Bartlett et al 2006
proposed using the narrowest measurement of the lumen in millimeters stating that an absolute
measurementof1.3mmcorrespondedto70%stenosisbyNASCETcriteriaand2.2mmto50%
13
(Fig.3.6).
E.SymptomaticVersusAsymptomaticExtracranialCarotidStenosis
1. Symptomatic extracranial carotid arterystenosis is defined as an atherosclerotic lesionof atleast
50%stenosisproximaltothevascularterritorythatcorrespondstothepatient’sclinicalsymptomatology
(strokeortransientischemicattack)and/ortheanatomiclocationoftheinfarctonimaging.
2. Atherosclerotic stenosis of the carotid artery may result in ischemic symptoms secondary to
hypoperfusionorembolization.
3.Asymptomaticextracranialcarotid arterystenosisis definedas anatheroscleroticlesionofatleast
50%stenosiswithoutclinicalorimagingevidenceofstroke.
4. Currently, itis recommendedthat bestmedical managementshould be implementedimmediatelyin
bothsymptomaticandasymptomaticatheroscleroticcarotiddiseasewheneveritisfirstdiscovered.14,
15
a. Bestmedicalmanagementinvolvesvascularriskfactormodificationandincludesaggressivecontrol
of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking cessation, and initiation of an
antiplateletagent.

IV.RevascularizationinExtracranialCarotidArteryStenosis
https://t.me/med1917

A.Evidence
1.Thereissubstantialevidencetosupportrevascularizationforsymptomaticextracranialcarotidartery
disease. Many large randomized trials including the European Carotid Surgery Trial (ECST), the
NASCET, and the US Department of Veteran Affairs Cooperative Study Program (CSP) showed
superiorityofcarotidendarterectomywithbestmedicalmanagementoverbestmedicalmanagementalone
forsymptomatic,high-gradecarotidarterystenosis.12,17,
18
2. Patients included in these studies were those with greater than 70% carotid artery stenosis on
angiographyandwhohadipsilateralischemicstrokes, monocularblindness, orsymptomsofatransient
ischemicattack.
3.Apooledanalysisfromthesetrialsshowedthattherateof30-daystrokeriskwaslowerinthesurgical

C.TrialsandStudies
1.SAPPHIRE
The first trial, Stenting and Angioplasty with Protection in Patients with High Risk of
Endarterectomy (SAPPHIRE) trial showed noninferiority of carotid artery stenting compared with
carotidendarterectomy.
19
2.CREST
Subsequently, the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial (CREST)

c. Becauseoftheresultsofthistrial,carotidarterystentingemergedasoneoftheprimarytreatments

3.ACES
https://t.me/med1917

The Asymptomatic Carotid Emboli Study (ACES) demonstrated that there was a higher risk of
ipsilateral stroke risk with embolic signals on transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound than in those
without,suggestingthatpatientswithasymptomaticcarotiddiseaseshouldundergoTCDtoevaluatefor
microemboli.
20
4.EndarterectomyforAsymptomaticCarotidStenosisStudy
Revascularization for asymptomatic carotid disease was studied in the Endarterectomy for
AsymptomaticCarotidStenosisStudy.21,
22
a. Thisstudywas a large-scalestudy, including1662patients, andcomparedcarotidendarterectomy
withbestmedical managementwithbestmedicalmanagementalone.CTangiographywas usedto
identifypatientswithgreaterthan60%stenosisoftheextracranialcarotidartery,usingtheNASCET
Criteriaformeasurementofcarotidstenosis.
b. Patients were randomly assigned to either surgery plus best medical management or medical
managementalone.
c. Acompositeprimaryoutcomeofstrokeordeathoccurringintheperioperativeperiodandipsilateral

d. Thisstudywasstoppedearly,givenevidenceofaclearbenefitinthecarotidendarterectomygroup.
e. ThesedatawerefurthersupportedbytheAsymptomaticCarotidSurgeryTrial(ACST).
23
5.Thesestudiesarenotthoughttobegeneralizabletomodernclinicalpracticebecauseoptimalmedical
therapyhasimprovedinthecurrenteraascomparedwiththetimeofthesestudies(2004-2010).24,
25
6. Furthermore, operators selected for these trials were carefully screened and generally had lower
complicationratesthanwhatwasseeninthegeneralnonstudysurgeonpopulation.
7. Currently, there are no definitive guidelines for revascularization for asymptomatic extracranial
carotidstenosis.
a. However, based on data from these studies and clinical practice, it is reasonable to consider
revascularization in asymptomatic patients with greater than 70%-80% stenosis in the following
typesofpatients:
Patients whose carotid artery stenosis continues to progress rapidly despite best medical
management
PatientswhohaveevidenceofmicroemboliwithTCD
Patientswithalowpotentialforperiproceduralcomplications
b. ThistopicisbeingfurtherinvestigatedintheCarotidRevascularizationandMedicalManagement

alonewithcarotidendarterectomyorcarotidarterystenting.
26
V.PatientFactorsInfluencingRevascularization
A.NASCET
1. TheNASCET also showed that patientcharacteristics includingage, gender,andcomorbid medical
conditions should stronglyinfluencethe type ofrevascularization procedurethata patientwith carotid
arterydiseaseshouldundergo.
2. Notably,NASCETshowedthatwomenwithsymptomaticcarotidstenosiswere morelikelytohave
https://t.me/med1917

unfavorableoutcomeincludingcarotidarteryrestenosis,surgicalmortality,andneurologicmorbiditywith
carotidarterystenting.
12
B.CREST
1.Nearlyadecadelater,theCRESTprovidedfurtherevidenceregardingspecificpatientcharacteristics
thatshouldinfluencethechoiceofrevascularizationmethod.
2.CRESTshowedthatduringtheperiproceduralperiod,therewasahigherriskofstrokewithcarotid
arterystentingandahigherriskofmyocardialinfarctionwithcarotidendarterectomy.
a. Therefore, patients with significant comorbid coronary artery disease or other cardiovascular
conditionsmaybebettercandidatesforCASratherthanCEA.
11
3.Thestudyalsosupportedpriordatathatpatientageshouldbefactoredintotheproceduralselection
becauseyounger patients, less than70 years, were shown tohave better outcomes withCASwhereas
olderpatientsmayhavehadbetteroutcomeswithCEA.
a. There may be a higher risk of stroke with CAS in very elderly patients because of acquired
anatomicalobstaclessuchasvasculartortuosity,calcifications,and/ortandemstenoses.
b. In general, CAS is preferred in patients with severe comorbid medical condition and those with
anatomic features that would make surgery difficult, including prior neck surgery or radiation
therapy,restenosisafterpriorcarotidendarterectomy,contralateralcarotidocclusion,orsurgically
inaccessiblelesions.
27
VI.TimingofRevascularization
A.TrialsandTrends
1. Timing ofcarotid arteryrevascularization inpatients withischemic stroke remains very important.
Review ofsubgroupanalysesfromtwolargerandomizedclinicaltrials,theEuropeanCarotid Surgery
Trial (ECST)andthe NASCET, lookedat thetiming foroptimal benefitof carotid endarterectomyfor
patients with ischemic stroke thought to be secondary to high-grade symptomatic extracranial carotid
arterydisease.
2.TherewasatrendtowardbenefitwithCEAwithin2weeksofsymptomscomparedwithpatientswho
haddelayedprocedures.12,
28
a. The degree of benefit of the procedure appeared to diminish with time, especially if CEA was
delayedbeyond12weeks.
3. There are manyfactorstoconsider that should influence thetiming ofcarotid revascularizationfor
symptomatic patients including infarct size (as larger ischemic strokes may have a higher risk for
reperfusioninjuryandhemorrhagictransformation)andcomplicatingcomorbiditiesandmedicalfactors
suchasinfectionorhemodynamicinstability.
a. In medically stable patients with relatively minor ischemic strokes or transient ischemic attacks
thought to be secondary tohigh-grade ipsilateral carotid arterystenosis, revascularization should
occurwithin2weeksofsymptomonset.
https://t.me/med1917

b. However,inpatientswithothercomplicatingfactors,itwouldbereasonabletodelaytheprocedure
upto12weekstomedicallystabilizethepatientpriortorevascularization.
B.RestenosisAfterCarotidEndarterectomyorCarotidArteryStenting
1.RestenosisafterCEAorCASistypicallyasymptomaticanddetectedbysurveillanceimaging.
2. The risk of restenosis after carotid intervention was evaluated in the ACAS trial as defined as a
recurrentstenosisof60%orgreater.
a. Theriskofrestenosiswasmostlikelyinthefirst18monthsfollowingsurgery(7.9%)anddeclined
steadilyafterward(1.9%at42months).21CRESTshowedthatapproximately6%ofpatientshada
riskofrestenosisgreaterthan70%inthefirst24monthswitheitherCEAorCAS.
29
b. InCREST,independentpredictorsofrestenosisincludeddiabetesmellitus,hypertension,andfemale
gender.Smokingwasanindependentpredictorofrestenosisinthe CEAgroupbutnotin the CAS
group.
c. Given the low incidence of restenosis after revascularization, there are no standard guidelines
regardingrepeatfollow-upimaginginthesepatients.
11
3.ItisreasonabletofollowpatientsannuallywithDUSforthefirst2yearsfollowingrevascularization,
especially inpatientswith comorbidconditions ofsmoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or female
gender.

2.Therearelimiteddataregardingtreatmentofintercraniallargearteryatherosclerosis.
a. Stenting and Aggressive Medical Management for Preventing Recurrent stroke in Intracranial
Stenosis (SAMMPRIS) Study enrolled 451 patients and compared optimal medical therapy with
percutaneous angioplasty and stenting for the prevention of recurrent stroke in patients with
symptomatic intracranial large artery, intracranial carotid, or intracranial vertebral artery
atherosclerosis.
30
i. Medicaltherapyconsistedofdualantiplatelettherapy(aspirin325mgperdayandclopidogrel

4. Frank vessel rupture is more unusual with blunt cervical injury and is more commonly seen in

VIII.TechniquesforCarotidandVertebralIntervention
FemoralaccessisthemostcommonaccessrouteforCAS;however,radial,brachial,anddirectcarotid
access may be employed in specific patients to facilitate safe access or traverse an anatomically
challenging artic arch. Femoral arterial access has been presented in an earlier chapter. A brief
description of radial and direct carotid access (percutaneous and via cutdown) can be found in the
sectionsthatfollow.
A.RadialAccessforCarotidStenosis
1.PeripheralarterialaccesstechniquewasfirstintroducedbySvenIvarSeldingerin1959.
