Abstract
|
|
|
|
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is performed in selected patient with carotid stenosis groups to prevent stroke. Symptomatology and degree of stenosis are the main clinical consideration to perform CEA. However, many patients undergo surgery without adequate evaluation of individual risk. There is therefore a need for adjuvant methods to identify high-risk subgroups of patients who particularly benefit from potentially hazardous interventions. Rapid progress in ultrasound techniques and increasing knowledge of methodology promise expending the territory of clinical applications for the assessment of cerebrovascular diseases.
