Symptomatic bilateral internal carotid occlusive disease is a rare but potentially devastating entity. Medical therapy alone is associated with high rates of mortality and recurrent stroke. The optimal management of this disease remains poorly understood.

2023年4月19日 · Carotid artery disease occurs when fatty deposits, called plaques, clog the blood vessels that deliver blood to the brain and head (carotid arteries). The clog increases the risk of stroke. Stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when …

Patients with bilateral carotid occlusion have a high risk of stroke. Conclusion. ICA occlusion is an important cause of cerebral or retinal ischaemia. The clinical course of ICA occlusion is variable, from being a completely asymptomatic to one leading to devastating strokes.

Carotid occlusive disease, also called carotid artery stenosis, carotid blockage, or carotid occlusion, is a condition in which one or both of the carotid arteries becomes narrowed or blocked. It is a serious condition that increases the risk of stroke if left untreated.

2025年1月9日 · Carotid artery disease is also called carotid artery stenosis. The term refers to the narrowing of the carotid arteries. This narrowing is usually caused by the buildup of fatty substances and...

The bilateral ICA occlusion (100% obstruction, defined as absence of contrast filling of both ICAs) was preferentially documented by conventional digital subtraction angiography.

Nonetheless, patients with bilateral ICA occlusion have a higher rate of cerebrovascular events and mortality when compared to patients with unilateral ICA occlusions.

The patient with bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion is at high risk for development of stroke. Medical management and extracranial-intracranial bypass do not appear to offer these patients any protection from symptoms of cerebrovascular insufficiency.

2005年11月15日 · The management and mechanism of unilateral CCA occlusion and bilateral ICA occlusion are debatable, but those of bilateral CCA occlusion are largely unknown. Herein, we present a case of bilateral CCA occlusion that had …

2023年1月2日 · Atherosclerosis is usually bilateral and frequently calcifications can be seen. In a high-grade atherosclerotic stenosis the flow through the internal carotid is severely decreased and results in a collapse and consequently a small caliber of the vessel distal to the occlusion.
