Mayo for Carotid Endarterectomy

Background: Although tortuosity of the internal carotid artery (ICA) can pose a significant challenge when performing mechanical thrombectomy, few studies have examined the impact of ICA tortuosity on mechanical thrombectomy outcomes. Methods: In a registry-based hospital cohort, consecutive patients with anterior circulation stroke in whom mechanical thrombectomy was attempted were divided into 2 groups: those with tortuosity in the extracranial or cavernous ICA (tortuous group) and those…

This short bout of stroke-like symptoms doesn't cause permanent damage. But it may serve as a warning sign of a future stroke.

Patients who have had a recent TIA, amaurosis fugax or stroke with full recovery in the presence of an internal carotid stenosis of 70% or more are at high risk of a subsequent stroke in the months following. These patients benefit from endarterectomy to remove the diseased intima and re-establish normal carotid flow. All patients should be started on aspirin upon diagnosis, and this should be continued indefinitely as prophylaxis against further events.

Angioplasty is used to open blocked coronary arteries without open-heart surgery. Find out what to expect before, during, and after an angioplasty.

We manufacturer the patented Doppler Carotid Shunts for use in Hospitals in the USA. The Doppler provides audible verification of blood flow through the shunt. Some complications unintentionally occur during a shunt being used and our Doppler makes shunts safer.

A carotid endarterectomy removes plaque (fat and cholesterol) buildup from inside your carotid artery, improving blood flow to your brain.

A major source of blood to the brain, the internal carotid artery runs along the side of the neck before accessing the skull.
