STROKE - STATS
• 3rd leading cause of death in the United States
• Leading cause of serious disability in the United States
• HTN most important risk factor
• MCA is most commonly diseased
STROKE - GENERAL
•Hemorrhagic stroke
• 15% of all strokes
• Involve intraparenchymal bleeding
typically from hypertension
•Ischemic stroke
• 85% of all strokes
• Ischemic Stroke/TIA is most commonly
caused by embolization of the ICA, 2nd
source is the heart
High yield anatomy
ECA - Triphasic- antegrade, retrograde, anterograde
ICA Continuous forward flow
High yield anatomy
Internal carotid artery stenosis
As the blood circulates through the carotid
bifurcation, there is separation of flow into the low-
resistance internal carotid artery and the high-
resistance external carotid artery.
The carotid atherosclerotic plaque typically forms
in the outer wall opposite to the flow divider due in
part to the effect of the low shear stress region,
which also creates a transient reversal of flow
during the cardiac cycle.
Internal carotid artery stenosis
• Diagnosis
• Duplex ultrasound
• CTA/MRA
• Indications for repair
• Asymptomatic >70% stenosis
• Symptomatic >50% stenosis
• Emergent repair with changing
neuro sx or crescendo TIAs
Internal carotid artery stenosis
• Diagnosis
• Duplex ultrasound
• CTA/MRA
• Indications for repair
• Asymptomatic >70% stenosis
• Symptomatic >50% stenosis
• Emergent repair with changing neuro sx or crescendo TIAs
Carotid endarderectomy
• Indications for repair
• Asymptomatic >70% stenosis
• Symptomatic >50% stenosis
• Emergent repair with changing neuro sx or crescendo TIAs
• Rules for repair
• Tightest side first
• Dominant side first
• Never intervene on an occluded artery
Carotid endarderectomy
• Technical concerns
• Remove intima and part of media
• Distal end point is most important factor
• When to use a shunt
• Back pressure > 50mmhg OR contralateral side is tight or occluded.
• poor correlation with EEG and ischemia
High lesions
• Nasotracheal intubation
• Division of the posterior belly of
the digastric
• Hypoglossal nerve, spinal
accessory, and the
glossopharyngeal nerve
• Resect the styloid process
• Anterior subluxation of the
mandible
Carotid endarterectomy
• Complications
• Perioperative stroke- immediately after explore
• MI (most common cause of non-stroke M&M following CEA
• Hypertension (20%)
• Pseudoaneurysm - pulsatile mass, drape and prep prior to intubation
• Vagus is the most common n. injury, vascular clamp (hoarseness)
• Mandibular br. Facial N retractor at jaw angle (smile)
• Hypoglossal N: tongue deviation towards (speech mastication issues)
• Glossopharyngeal N: difficulty swallowing
• Restenosis- 15%
Carotid body tumors
• Paraganglioma, chemodectoma, glomus tumor
• Very rare, only known tumor of the carotid body
• Sporadic, familial, and hyperplastic
• Periadventia of the posterior surface of the carotid bifurcations
• Composed of neural crest
• Most are benign, malignant transformation reported
• Rarely functional, may secrete catacholamines
Treatment
• Surgery
• Palliative radiation
