ZusammenfassungNach Durchführung prospektiv-randomisierter Studien liegen für die Karotis-Thrombendarteriektomie (KarotisTEA) höhergradiger Karotisstenosen gesicherte Indikationen auf dem Evidenzlevel Ia mit dem Empfehlungsgrad A vor. Dies betrifft sowohl >50%ige symptomatische als auch >60%ige asymptomatische Stenosen (NASCET-Kriterien). In Subgruppen-Analysen aus NASCET konnten klinische und morphologische Variablen identifiziert werden, die auf ein besonders hohes Risiko eines karotisbedingten Schlaganfalls im natürlichen Verlauf hinweisen. Patienten mit folgenden Variablen profitieren daher besonders von der Karotis-TEA: Stenosegrad >90%, schlechter Kollateralkreislauf, kontralateraler Karotisverschluss, Plaque-Ulzerationen, Tandemstenosen, intraluminale Thromben, nicht-lakunärer Hirninfarkt, Lebensalter >75 Jahre, komplexes klinisches Risikoprofil, Hemisphären-TIA (vs. Amaurosis fugax), männliches Geschlecht. Der präventive Effekt der Karotis-TEA kann jedoch nur unter Beachtung eines niedrigen perioperativen Schlaganfallbzw. Letalitätrisikos realisiert werden. Nach Empfehlungen der American Heart Association (AHA) darf das perioperative Risiko 3% bei asymptomatischen Stenosen ohne kontralaterale Stenose, 5% bei asymptomatischen Stenosen mit hochgradiger kontralateraler Stenose oder Verschluss und 6% bei symptomatischen >50%ige Stenosen (NASCET-Kriterien) nicht überschreiten. Die Ergebnisse der Qualitätssicherung Karotis-TEA der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Gefäßchirurgie (DGG) zeigen, dass diese maximal akzeptablen Obergrenzen zum Teil deutlich unterschritten werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt das Stenting von Karotisstenosen einen klinischen Heilversuch dar, der nur nach interdisziplinärem Konsil und/oder i. R. randomisierter Studien zulässig ist.

One of the problems is valve embolization at the time of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, which is a rare but serious complication. In this case, we have shown balloon expandable aortic valve embolization TAVI which is a rare complication and we managed with second valve without surgery. Although there is not enough experience in the literature, embolized valve was re-positioned in the arch aorta between truncus brachiocephalicus and left common carotid artery.

INTRODUCTION Timing of intervention in symptomatic carotid disease is critical. The UK Department of Health's National Stroke Strategy published in December 2007 recommends urgent carotid intervention within 48 h, in appropriate patients, who have suffered a transient ischaemic attack (TIA), amaurosis fugax or minor stroke. Despite the running of a rapid-access clinic for patients with symptoms of TIA, the time from symptom to surgery is rarely less than 2 weeks. To date, there has been little published research on the UK public response to the symptoms of TIA, and no study at all of the response of primary care to such patients. The aim of this study was to ascertain both these responses to see whether a 48-h target is achievable. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 402 men attending our aortic aneurysm screening sessions were asked to complete a questionnaire requesting their most likely response to an episode of amaurosis fugax or TIA. All 45 GP practices in the hospital catchment area were asked how they would respond to patients requesting to be seen with the symptoms used in the questionnaire. RESULTS Nearly one in six patients would ignore the symptom unless it recurred, approximately half would request a GP appointment and a third would see an optician if they had amaurosis fugax. The mean waiting time to see a GP was 2 days for a routine appointment and within 24 h for an emergency appointment. CONCLUSIONS It is clear that a significant number of people would ignore the first symptom of carotid ischaemia; for those with amaurosis fugax, nearly a third would initially seek help from their optician. Those given a routine GP appointment would have to wait a minimum of 2 days. If the Department of Health is serious about reducing the incidence of stroke and introducing a target of 48 h from symptom to treatment, then there needs to be a wide-spread public and healthcare education programme, in particular alerting opticians and GP receptionists that these symptoms constitute a medical emergency.
