  2. Carotid artery stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_artery_stenosis

    All interventions for carotid revascularization (carotid endarterectomy, carotid stenting, and transcarotid artery revascularization) carry some risk of stroke; however, where the risk of stroke over time from medical management alone is high, intervention may be beneficial. Carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy have been found to ...

  3. Carotid endarterectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_endarterectomy

    Carotid endarterectomy is used to reduce the risk of strokes caused by carotid artery stenosis over time. Carotid stenosis can either have symptoms (i.e., be symptomatic), or be found by a doctor in the absence of symptoms (asymptomatic) - and the risk-reduction from endarterectomy is greater for symptomatic than asymptomatic patients.

  4. Carotid stenting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_stenting

    Carotid artery stenting is an endovascular procedure where a stent is deployed within the lumen of the carotid artery to treat narrowing of the carotid artery and decrease the risk of stroke. It is used to treat narrowing of the carotid artery in high-risk patients, when carotid endarterectomy is considered too risky.

  5. Peripheral artery disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_artery_disease

    Testing for coronary artery disease or carotid artery disease is of unclear benefit. [20] While PAD is a risk factor for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), there is no data on screening individuals with asymptomatic PAD for abdominal aortic aneurysms. [20] For people with symptomatic PAD, screening by ultrasound for AAA is not unreasonable. [20]

  6. Subclavian steal syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subclavian_steal_syndrome

    SSS results when the short low resistance path (along the subclavian artery) becomes a high resistance path (due to narrowing) and blood flows around the narrowing via the arteries that supply the brain (left and right vertebral artery, left and right internal carotid artery).

  7. Stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stenosis

    Stenosis (from Ancient Greek στενός (stenós) 'narrow') is the abnormal narrowing of a blood vessel or other tubular organ or structure such as foramina and canals. It is also sometimes called a stricture (as in urethral stricture ).
