Extracranial Carotid Artery: Current Concepts of Diagnosis and Management
AUTOR(ES)
Alpert, Jack N.
RESUMO
Extracranial carotid artery disease is a frequent cause of transient ischemic attack (about 50%), but a much less common cause of cerebral infarction (about 15%). Transient ischemic attack almost invariably precedes strokes caused by extracranial carotid stenosis, but rarely heralds strokes that result from cardiogenic embolism or intracranial vascular disease. When extracranial carotid stenosis produces a transient ischemic attack or stroke, artery-to-artery embolism is the predominant mechanism.
