Abstract

Carotid endarterectomy is common vascular procedure for atherosclerosis of carotid artery. Usually, it is done when the artery is narrowed more than 80% but it can be done even when it is narrowed 50 % if it produces symptoms. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is delayed 6 to 8 weeks after acute stoke, as the stroke can be progressive. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is done after optimal recovery from the stroke by the patient. The recovery depends on the preoperative size of the infarct and the neurological deficit. Emergency endarterectomy can be done when there is fluctuating neurological deficits due to acute carotid artery obstruction. CEA is contraindicated when the patient’s general condition is poor due to other serious illness which shorten life expectancy. It is not done in a case of major stroke as the recovery may not satisfactory.

短暂性脑缺血发作伴颈动脉狭窄1例并探讨颈动脉内膜切除术的必要性

颈动脉内膜切除术是治疗颈动脉粥样硬化的常用血管手术。通常，当动脉狭窄超过80%时进行手术，但如果出现症状，即使狭窄50%也可以进行手术。颈动脉内膜切除术(CEA)在急性中风后延迟6至8周，因为中风可能是进行性的。颈动脉内膜切除术(CEA)是在患者中风最佳恢复后进行的。恢复取决于术前梗塞的大小和神经功能缺损。当急性颈动脉阻塞引起波动性神经功能缺损时，可以进行紧急动脉内膜切除术。当患者因其他严重疾病导致一般情况较差，缩短预期寿命时，禁用CEA。在严重中风的情况下不这样做，因为恢复可能不令人满意。
