Indications for surgical revascularisation depend on the severity of the stenosis and clinical symptoms. However, mild symptoms such as TIA (Transient ischaemic attack), amaurosis fugax or minor stroke precede large strokes in only 15% of cases.</p><p><strong>Aim: </strong>The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate whether retinal perfusion is impacted in significant carotid stenosis. Automated retinal oximetry will be used to better assess perfusion in the post-stenotic basin. We presume the more stenotic the blood vessel, the more reduced the retinal perfusion is, resulting in adaptive changes such as greater arteriovenous saturation difference due to greater oxygen extraction. This could broaden the indication spectrum for revascularisation for carotid stenosis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We plan to enroll yearly 50 patients with significant carotid stenosis and cross-examine them with retinal oximetry. The study group will provide stenotic vessels and, non-stenotic vessels will form the control group. Patients with significant carotid stenosis will undergo an MRI (Magnetic Resonnance imaging) examination to determine the presence of asymptomatic recent ischaemic lesions in the stenotic basin, and the correlation to oximetry parameters.</p><p><strong>Statistics: </strong>The stenosis severity and retinal oximetry parameters will be compared for study and control groups with a threshold of 70%, respectively 80% and 90% stenosis.

Given that some conditions may be treatable, physicians must be aware of obesity due to endocrinopathies and distinguish them from simple obesity, and treat them properly.
