Evidence-based and therapeutic technical progress of carotid stenosis / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Stroke is the leading cause of death among urban and rural residents in China. About 25% to 30% of ischemia stroke is related to atherosclerotic carotid stenosis. The main treatments for carotid stenosis include carotid endarterectomy, carotid artery stenting and best medical therapy. In recent years, clinical trial evidence on the treatment of carotid artery stenosis continues to emerge, in which a series of new arguments and consensus have emerged. In addition, with the innovation of surgical techniques and the reform of intracavitary instruments, new surgical techniques and surgical equipment have been extended. This article summarizes the latest evidence-based and technical progress in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis in recent years, in order to provide theoretical guidance for the clinical practice of carotid artery stenosis.
