OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of carotid endarterectomy for prevention of stroke in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis. DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis in which subjects were allocated to carotid endarterectomy or to medical treatment alone. SUBJECTS: Five trials enrolled 2440 patients with stenosis >/ 50%. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Stroke ipsilateral to the stenosis, all strokes, and perioperative complications (stroke or death). RESULTS: In patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy (n=1215) there was a significant reduction in the odds of ipsilateral stroke plus perioperative stroke or death (odds ratio 0.62; 95% confidence interval 0.44 to 0.86), corresponding to a 2% absolute risk reduction over about 3.1 years. The prevalence of stroke in any location was also reduced (0.68; 0.51 to 0.9) in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. During the immediate postoperative period there was an increased prevalence of stroke or death among such patients (4.51; 2.36 to 8.64). CONCLUSION: Carotid endarterectomy in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis unequivocally reduces the incidence of ipsilateral stroke, though the absolute benefit is relatively small. Given the modest benefit of surgery for unselected patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis carotid endarterectomy cannot be routinely recommended for these patients pending reliable identification of high risk subgroups, and medical management is a sensible alternative for most patients. 相似文献

The role of combined carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with severe asymptomatic carotid artery disease and concurrent symptomatic coronary artery disease is controversial. The objective of this report is to investigate the safety of combined CEA/CABG. The medical records of 30 patients who underwent combined CEA/CABG for coexistent asymptomatic carotid and symptomatic coronary artery occlusive disease were reviewed. All patients were scheduled for either elective or urgent myocardial revascularization due to their symptomatic coronary artery disease. Color-flow duplex scanning identified internal carotid artery stenosis of 80 to 99 per cent in 28 patients (93%) and 50 to 79 per cent in 2 patients (7%). Seventeen patients (57%) were male. The mean age was 64 +/- 10 years (range, 42-84 years). Contralateral internal carotid artery occlusion was present in four patients. Severe left main coronary artery disease was present in 12 patients (40%) and 7 patients (23%) had an ejection fraction of less than 50 per cent. There were no perioperative deaths or strokes. One patient suffered a myocardial infarction on postoperative day 1. This study demonstrates the safety of combined CEA/CABG for coexistent coronary and asymptomatic carotid disease. Using this surgical approach for critical coexistent disease may minimize the incidence of perioperative cerebrovascular complications in patients undergoing CABG. 相似文献

AIMS: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of elective carotid stent implantation in patients with carotid stenoses and concomitant coronary artery disease, as an alternative to combined carotid and coronary surgery. METHODS: We treated 50 patients with >70%, stenoses in 53 carotid arteries with balloon angioplasty followed by elective stent implantation. All patients had severe coronary artery disease, and/or mitral insufficiency, aortic stenosis, rhythm disorders or generalized arteriosclerosis. In three patients the opposite carotid artery was occluded; nine patients had bilateral stenoses of which two received stents bilaterally. RESULTS: Fifty-six successful stent implantations (42 Wallstents, eight BeStents, two AVE-Microstents, one Palmaz Schatz stent, three Sito stents) were performed, reducing the baseline percent stenosis from 78 +/- 18%, to 13 +/- 11%. Complications included three transient ischaemic attacks, one minor and one major stroke. Follow-up was available for 46 patients over a mean of 10 months. Three asymptomatic restenoses and one deformation of a BeStent occurred. CONCLUSION: Our preliminary results indicate that carotid artery stenting in patients with concomitant severe coronary artery disease is feasible, safe, and may be an alternative to combined carotid and coronary surgery. 相似文献

PAP Immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the expression and distribution of EGF-R in gastric mucosa in portal hypertensive pigs with cirrhosis. Our result showed that the EGF-R content in gastric mucosa of portal hypertensive pigs was significantly lower than that in control group. Microscopically, the portal hypertension (PHT) group imparted "feeble positivity" or "negative results" and the control group showed "strong positivity". It was suggested that the decrease of EGF-R content in gastric mucosa weakened defense mechanism of gastric mucosa and increase its vulnerability. It is believed that the decreased EGF-R in gastric mucosa is ascribed to the lesions of gastric mucosa during PHT with cirrhosis. 相似文献

The management of patients with carotid artery disease who require coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains controversial. Several published series from the USA (including one with prospective randomization) advocate a combined approach of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) followed immediately by coronary artery bypass surgery. However, experience of combined carotid endarterectomy and coronary bypass grafting has not been previously reported by a centre from the United Kingdom. Between 1986 and 1991 we performed this combined procedure on 18 patients who required myocardial revascularization and had co-existing severe (> 70%) carotid stenosis. Sixteen patients (89%) had angina and 11 patients (61%) had symptomatic carotid artery disease. The perioperative mortality was 5.5% and the ipsilateral perioperative stroke rate was 5.5%. These early results are encouraging and suggest that further evaluation of combined carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass surgery is warranted. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that carotid endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic severe carotid stenosis (defined as stenosis of 70 to 99 percent of the luminal diameter) is beneficial up to two years after the procedure. In this clinical trial, we assessed the benefit of carotid endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic moderate stenosis, defined as stenosis of less than 70 percent. We also studied the durability of the benefit of endarterectomy in patients with severe stenosis over eight years of follow-up. METHODS: Patients who had moderate carotid stenosis and transient ischemic attacks or nondisabling strokes on the same side as the stenosis (ipsilateral) within 180 days before study entry were stratified according to the degree of stenosis (50 to 69 percent or <50 percent) and randomly assigned either to undergo carotid endarterectomy (1108 patients) or to receive medical care alone (1118 patients). The average follow-up was five years, and complete data on outcome events were available for 99.7 percent of the patients. The primary outcome event was any fatal or nonfatal stroke ipsilateral to the stenosis for which the patient underwent randomization. RESULTS: Among patients with stenosis of 50 to 69 percent, the five-year rate of any ipsilateral stroke (failure rate) was 15.7 percent among patients treated surgically and 22.2 percent among those treated medically (P=0.045); to prevent one ipsilateral stroke during the five-year period, 15 patients would have to be treated with carotid endarterectomy. Among patients with less than 50 percent stenosis, the failure rate was not significantly lower in the group treated with endarterectomy (14.9 percent) than in the medically treated group (18.7 percent, P=0.16). Among the patients with severe stenosis who underwent endarterectomy, the 30-day rate of death or disabling ipsilateral stroke persisting at 90 days was 2.1 percent; this rate increased to only 6.7 percent at 8 years. Benefit was greatest among men, patients with recent stroke as the qualifying event, and patients with hemispheric symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic moderate carotid stenosis of 50 to 69 percent yielded only a moderate reduction in the risk of stroke. Decisions about treatment for patients in this category must take into account recognized risk factors, and exceptional surgical skill is obligatory if carotid endarterectomy is to be performed. Patients with stenosis of less than 50 percent did not benefit from surgery. Patients with severe stenosis (> or =70 percent) had a durable benefit from endarterectomy at eight years of follow-up. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the adequacy of thiopental protection against ischemic cerebral damage in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic stenosis greater than 70% in association with contralateral stenosis greater than 70% or contralateral occlusion. METHODS: All patients (n=259) with severe bilateral carotid disease who underwent carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic stenosis greater than 70% were extracted from the database of an ongoing prospective carotid surgery study. Large-dose thiopental sodium without shunting was used for cerebral protection during endarterectomy. Asymmetric electroencephalogram changes during the operation, carotid occlusion time, stroke onset, and neuropathologic outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: Three contralateral strokes occurred in the series, producing a cerebral morbidity/mortality rate of 1.2% (major 0.4%, minor 0.8%). Transient morbidity was 1.9% made of two reversible ischemic neurologic deficits and three transient ischemic attacks. New asymmetric electroencephalography changes were seen in 49 (19% patients, one of whom had transient deficit. Average occlusion time was 35 minutes. All strokes occurred within 24 hours of the procedure. Patients with previous stroke and and systemic hypertension seemed at greatest risk, and the contralateral hemisphere was the area at greatest risk. All transient deficits were ipsilateral and related to technical complications rather failed protection. CONCLUSIONS: Thiopental cerebral protection eliminates strokes caused by complications of shunting, prevents ischemic stroke during carotid occlusion for periods up to 67 minutes (average 35 minutes), allows meticulous management of the operative site, may modify or minimize clinical neurologic deficit, and in our experience has rendered intraluminal shunting obsolete. 相似文献

Carotid endarterectomy (CE) surgery for asymptomatic patients remains controversial despite hundreds of published studies and recent randomized trials. Safety and efficacy are assessed using a quantitative synthesis method derived from meta-analysis and a "critical multiplist" inference approach. In addition, multivariate analyses reveal that use of a surgical shunt could further improve CE outcomes. Methods are examined for both their "confirmatory" and "exploratory" value. 相似文献

A review of the mechanism of throwing is presented and split into the different phases. The presentation and history is often more important than the clinical signs which may only be present after repetitive throwing activity. The pathological relationship between instability and impingement is discussed. Arthroscopy has been found to be extremely helpful in extending knowledge of pathological anatomy as well as defining diagnosis and aiding treatment. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The incidence rate of disease progression and stroke after the diagnosis of a moderate (50% to 79%) carotid stenosis was determined by means of color-flow duplex scanning. METHODS: During a 4-year period, 344 male veterans with moderate internal carotid artery stenoses, on one or both sides, were examined at regular intervals for a mean period of 25 months. Carotid color-flow scans were obtained semiannually. Clinical follow-up was performed to determine the incidence rate of amaurosis fugax, transient ischemic attacks, nonhemispheric symptoms, and strokes. RESULTS: New neurologic symptoms developed in 75 patients (21.8%). Fifty-one (14.8%) had ipsilateral symptoms during follow-up: 18 amaurosis fugax (5.2%), 14 transient ischemic attacks (4%), 5 nonhemispheric symptoms (1.4%), and 14 strokes (4%). Twenty-four patients (6.9%) had contralateral symptoms: 20 strokes (5.8%) and 4 transient ischemic attacks (1.2%). Life-table analysis showed that the annual rate of ipsilateral neurologic events was 8.1%, and the annual rate of stroke was 2.1%. Seventy-five patients (22%) died in the follow-up period. Disease progression to 80% to 99% stenosis or occlusion occurred in 71 of 458 vessels (15.5%). The internal carotid arteries that showed evidence of disease progression had a significantly higher initial peak systolic velocity (251 vs 190 cm/s; P <.0001) and end diastolic velocity (74 vs 52 cm/s; P < 0.0001). Black patients and patients with ischemic heart disease were at a higher risk for disease progression. We could not identify any atherosclerotic risk factors that reliably predicted patients in whom future ipsilateral neurologic symptoms were more likely to develop. However, there was an increased risk of stroke associated with progression of disease. CONCLUSION: Patients who are asymptomatic and who have moderate carotid stenoses are at significant risk for neurologic symptoms and death, but have a relatively low incidence rate of ipsilateral events. The initial flow characteristics in the stenotic vessel are predictive of future disease progression, but they are not helpful in identifying patients in whom symptoms will develop. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to delineate the natural history of the progression of asymptomatic carotid stenosis. METHODS: In a 10-year period, 1701 carotid arteries in 1004 patients who were asymptomatic were studied with serial duplex scans (mean follow-up period, 28 months; mean number of scans, 2.9/patient). At each visit, stenoses of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the external carotid artery (ECA) were categorized as none (0 to 14%), mild (15% to 49%), moderate (50% to 79%), severe (80% to 99%), preocclusive, or occluded. Progression was defined as an increase in ICA stenosis to >/=50% for carotid arteries with a baseline of <50% or as an increase to a higher category of stenosis if the baseline stenosis was >/=50%. The Cox proportional hazards model was used for data analysis. RESULTS: The risk of progression of ICA stenosis increased steadily with time (annualized risk of progression, 9.3%). With multivariate modeling, the four most important variables that affected the progression (P <.02) were baseline ipsilateral ICA stenosis >/=50% (relative risk [RR], 3.34), baseline ipsilateral ECA stenosis >/=50% (RR, 1.51), baseline contralateral ICA stenosis >/=50% (RR, 1.41), and systolic pressure more than 160 mm Hg (RR, 1. 37). Ipsilateral neurologic ischemic events (stroke/transient ischemic attack) occurred in association with 14.0% of the carotid arteries that were studied. The progression of ICA stenosis correlated with these events (P <.001), but baseline ICA stenosis was not a significant predictor. CONCLUSION: In contrast to recently published studies, we found that the risk of progression of carotid stenosis is substantial and increases steadily with time. Baseline ICA stenosis was the most important predictor of the progression, but baseline ECA stenosis also was identified as an important independent predictor. Contralateral ICA stenosis and systolic hypertension were additional significant predictors. We found further that the progression of ICA stenosis correlated with ischemic neurologic events but not baseline stenosis. The data provide justification for the use of serial duplex scans to follow carotid stenosis and suggest that different follow-up intervals may be appropriate for different patient subgroups. 相似文献

Increasing evidence suggests that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) differ in gastrotoxicity. This study aimed to compare the effects of a short-acting NSAID, tiaprofenic acid, with indomethacin on experimental gastric ulcer healing in a rat model. Similar anti-inflammatory and prostaglandin-inhibitory doses of indomethacin (1 mg/kg) and tiaprofenic acid (2 mg/kg) were administered to rats with acetic acid-induced ulcers. After 2 weeks treatment, rats were killed and ulcer size determined. In addition, histological sections of ulcers were assessed for ulcer contraction and mucosal regeneration. The degree of inhibition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis was 72% at 2 h after tiaprofenic acid and 64% at 2 h after indomethacin administration, respectively. Rats treated with indomethacin for 2 weeks had significantly larger ulcers, both macroscopically and microscopically, than controls. Rats treated with tiaprofenic acid for 2 weeks had ulcers of a similar size to those of controls. Indomethacin-treated ulcers showed a failure in mucosal regeneration. Tiaprofenic acid-treated ulcers had significantly more regeneration than indomethacin-treated ulcers. We conclude that tiaprofenic acid inhibits mucosal prostaglandin levels but does not inhibit experimental gastric ulcer healing. These findings suggest that inhibition of PGE2 synthesis is not the only factor in generating gastrotoxicity and that a shift to low gastrotoxic NSAID may be clinically worthwhile. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stenting (PTAS) of the carotid artery has been advocated as an alternative treatment for high-grade stenosis. Rationale for this approach includes less morbidity, shorter recovery, and lower cost when compared with carotid endarterectomy (CEA). METHODS: The clinical results and hospital charges of patients who underwent elective treatment for carotid stenosis were reviewed. During a concurrent 14-month period, 218 patients were admitted 229 times for 234 procedures for the treatment of 239 carotid bifurcation stenoses, 109 by PTAS and 130 by CEA. Hospital charges were reviewed for each hospitalization and were categorized according to radiology, operating room, cardiac catheterization laboratory, and all other hospital charges. RESULTS: The combined incidence of postprocedure strokes and deaths were: PTAS, eight strokes (7.7%) and one death (0.9%); CEA, two strokes (1.5%) and two deaths (1.5%). Total hospital charges per admission for the two groups were $30,140 for PTAS and $21,670 for CEA. The average postprocedure length of stay for PTAS was 2.9 days (median, 2 days) and for CEA was 3.1 days (median, 3 days). Cardiac catheterization laboratory charges for the PTAS group were $12,968, whereas the operating room charges for the CEA group were $4263. When hospitalizations that were extended by complications were excluded, the average total charges for the PTAS group (n = 84) dropped to $24,848 (mean length of stay, 1.9 days) and for the CEA group (n = 111) to $19,247 (mean length of stay, 2.6 days). CONCLUSIONS: After evaluating hospital charges, PTAS for the treatment of carotid stenosis cannot currently be justified on the basis of reduced costs alone. With future cost-containing measures, total hospital charges can be reduced in both groups. 相似文献

Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that may involve more than one territory. Myocardial infarction can occur after carotid endarterectomy and stroke is a well documented morbidity of coronary artery bypass grafting. To optimize results, we have performed concomitant carotid endarterectomy and myocardial revascularization in selected cases, with severe disease in both territories. During a 13-year period, 27 patients were submitted for this procedure, 21 (77.8%) were male and the average age was 67.6 years (range 59-81). All patients had high-grade internal carotid artery stenosis, five (18.5%) were symptomatic. Coronary artery disease symptoms were: unstable angina in 12 patients (44.4%) and effort angina in 15 (55.6%). Two patients (7.4%) required reintervention for postoperative bleeding. Two cases (7.4%) had transient renal dysfunction. One patient, with multiple organ failure, died on the 16th postoperative day (3.7%). Follow up was obtained in 26 patients (96.3%). Survival at 5 years was 80.6%, 95.7% of those patients were free of any neurologic symptom. Combined carotid and coronary surgery is a safe treatment option for atherosclerosis of multiple territories in selected patients; long term benefits are also obtained. 相似文献

As the United States meets its obligation to provide social security benefits for a growing population of elderly people and as the U.S. economy increasingly is exposed to global competition, social policy for the elderly population cannot--and should not--be developed or assessed in isolation: It should be assessed in the context of changing society. This article discusses the growing imbalance in the economic conditions of elderly people and children. It argues that this growing imbalance should be considered a threat for the social and economic development of the United States. It encourages the leaders of the elderly population to get involved in the drive to channel more resources to children. 相似文献

Deep vein thrombosis may occur in the axillary or subclavian veins in the upper extremities, sometimes in young patients without the typical risk factors for thrombus development. This unusual clinical situation usually follows strenuous activity and is often referred to as "effort" thrombosis. Since some cases have occurred with mild exertion and there is a lack of obvious predisposing vessel trauma, a more correct term might be "primary" thrombosis. Early recognition of this condition is necessary to prevent potentially fatal acute effects and minimize chronic sequelae. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the ophthalmologic findings and to analyze the retrobulbar hemodynamics of patients with severe (greater than 70% stenosis) occlusive carotid artery disease (OCAD) by means of color Doppler imaging (CDI). DESIGN: A case-controlled study. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty-six consecutive patients with severe OCAD and an age- and sex-matched control group consisting of 56 healthy patients without OCAD were studied. INTERVENTION: All 112 patients underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination. Color Doppler imaging of both orbits was performed by one masked investigator. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity, and the resistive index of the ophthalmic, central retinal, and temporal short posterior ciliary arteries were measured. The authors compared the hemodynamic parameters measured in patients with severe OCAD with those obtained in the control group. The hemodynamic parameters of patients with asymmetric OCAD (stenosis > 70% in one internal carotid artery and stenosis < 50% in the contralateral artery) were also compared. In an attempt to determine risk factors associated with the ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS), the authors compared patients with severe OCAD and OIS with patients with severe OCAD without OIS. RESULTS: Peak systolic and end diastolic velocities in the ophthalmic, central retinal, and temporal short posterior ciliary arteries were significantly lower in patients with severe OCAD (P < 0.01). The mean resistive indices in the central retinal and temporal short posterior ciliary arteries were higher in the group with severe OCAD (P < 0.01). Similar results were obtained in the analysis of 25 patients with asymmetric carotid stenosis. Younger age (P = 0.012), severe bilateral OCAD (P = 0.01), high-grade carotid stenosis (P = 0.013), and reversed ophthalmic artery flow (P = 0.038) were significant risk factors for OIS. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with severe OCAD show hemodynamic changes that suggest reduced retrobulbar blood flow. Patients with severe bilateral OCAD, high-grade carotid stenosis, and reversed ophthalmic artery flow may have a greater risk of developing OIS. 相似文献

Electrotonic responses recorded extra- or intracellularly from peripheral nerve preparations show a "sag" to hyperpolarizing current pulses. The biophysical nature of this "inward rectification" is still under discussion since the phenomenon has not been noted at voltage-clamped single nerve fibres, and since Cs+, which reduces inward rectification, is not a specific ion channel blocker. In this study, we found that low micromolar concentrations of ZD 7288, a specific blocker of the hyperpolarization-activated cationic current (Ih) in the soma of central mammalian neurons, result in a complete block of inward rectification in the electrotonic responses of isolated rat spinal dorsal roots. In addition, ZD 7288 enhanced the activity-dependent slowing of conduction seen in compound C fibre action potentials of isolated rat vagus nerves and augmented the post-tetanic hyperpolarization following trains of action potentials in unmyelinated and myelinated axons. The data suggest that ZD 7288 is a potent blocker and a useful research tool for the study of hyperpolarization-activated inward rectification (Ih) of peripheral nerve preparations. 相似文献
