Összefoglaló. A tudomány jelenlegi állása szerint – csoportok összehasonlítására épülő matematikai-statisztikai eszközökkel – a leginkább hatékonynak és hatásosnak vélt kezelési módszerek szisztematikus elemzése mentén, a bizonyítékokon alapuló irányelveken nyugvó gyógyító munkát tekintjük követendőnek. A nyaki verőérszűkület ellátása esetén az utóbbi években elkészült mind a hazai, mind az európai irányelv, mindemellett a társszakmák irányelveiben is megjelentek kezelési javaslatok. Közleményünkben összehasonlítottuk a témában publikált magyar, angol, német és olasz nyelvű, valamint az európai társaságok által kiadott irányelveket. Az irányelvek alapelveikben hasonlóak, formailag és tartalmilag azonban jelentős (időnként egymásnak ellentmondani látszó) különbségeket találhatunk. Az ellentmondások három leggyakoribb oka: 1) az egyes irányelvek által kitűzött célok különbözősége, 2) az aszimptomatikus és szimptomatikus betegcsoport definíciói, valamint 3) az eltérő evidenciaszintek. Az irányelvek összevetése alapján a tünetes, szignifikáns nyaki verőérszűkületek sebészi ellátása evidenciának tekinthető. A szimptomatikus nyaki verőérszűkület a definíció szerint ellenoldali cerebralis ischaemia okozta, tranziens vagy definitív plegia, paresis, aphasia és az azonos oldali arteria centralis retinae embolisatiója miatti amaurosis fugax. A tünetmentes nyaki verőérszűkületek ellátása tekintetében az európai és a nemzeti irányelvek nem azonosak, ezen esetek terápiás döntése egyéni mérlegelést igényel. Tünetmentes, 70%-os stenosis esetén vascularteam-konzílium javasolt. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(51): 2139–2145. Summary. The correct practice is the one that is proven to be the most effective based on systematic statistical analyses of different treatment methods, and is applied according to evidence-based principles. In recent years, not only has the European Society of Vascular Surgery created a guideline about the management of supra-aortic steno-occlusive disease, but some nations’ vascular surgical societies and related disciplines have also developed their own guidance. In this paper, the guidelines by the European societies on the clinical care of patients with carotid artery luminal narrowing is compared to national guidelines published in Hungarian, English, German, and Italian. Although the fundamental points of the guidelines are similar, there are some important differences among them both in presentation and in content; as a result, they sometimes appear to be contradictory. The three main sources of inconsistency are the various goals, the discrepancy in the definition of symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis, and the bias arising from the use of distinct evidence levels. A comparison of guidelines suggests that the treatment of symptomatic significant carotid artery stenosis with surgery can be considered evidence. Symptomatic carotid artery stenosis is defined as transient or definite plegia, paresis, aphasia due to cerebral ischemia, and monocular blindness caused by embolism in the central retinal artery. However, in the case of asymptomatic 70% or greater carotid artery stenosis, the guidelines are quite heterogeneous, and these patients require individual consideration and a vascular team decision is recommended.

Implementation of best medical treatment (BMT) is the cornerstone of the management of patients with either asymptomatic or symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. We review the literature to define the components of BMT. Smoking cessation, maintaining a healthy body weight, moderate exercise, and a Mediterranean diet are essential lifestyle measures. Moderate alcohol consumption may also be beneficial but recommending it to patients may be hazardous if they consume too much. The importance of lifestyle measures is largely underestimated by both physicians and patients. Blood pressure and diabetes control, antiplatelet agents, and lipid-lowering treatment with statins/ezetimibe comprise the pharmacological components of BMT. Initiation of an intensive regimen of BMT is a sine qua non for patients with carotid artery stenosis whether or not they are offered or undergo an invasive revascularization procedure.

Background: Landmark clinical trials have shown that carotid procedures can greatly reduce the risk of stroke in persons with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis between 70 and 99% and can somewhat reduce the risk of stroke in persons with symptomatic carotid stenosis between 50 and 69%. Guidelines have recommended that results from carotid artery imaging tests be presented in these ranges to facilitate decision-making. We sought to determine how carotid imaging results were reported across Veterans Administration (VA) facilities. Methods: Carotid artery imaging results were obtained as part of a comprehensive chart review of veterans hospitalized with ischemic stroke at 127 VA hospitals in fiscal year 2007. Abstractors recorded the results of carotid ultrasound, MR angiography, CT angiography, or catheter angiography performed in the twelve months prior to admission to six months after admission. We excluded carotid artery imaging reports with results of “no stenosis”, “mild stenosis”, exact degree of stenosis <50%, or any range of stenosis <50% to focus on those reports that would likely inform decisions about carotid procedures. The unit of analysis was the carotid artery. We described how often the results were presented as an exact degree (such as 60%), as a range (such as 50 to 69%), or as a descriptive category (“moderate” or “severe” stenosis). For results described as a range, we examined how often it matched those used in landmark trials. Results: Of 6527 results of carotid artery imaging, there were 1315 results of greater than 50% or at least “moderate stenosis” (see Table ). Only 234 of the reports used a range to describe the stenosis; among this set, only 55 of the reports used a 50-69% or 70-99% range to describe the stenosis. Conclusions: In this national healthcare system, significant carotid artery stenosis was rarely reported in a way that exactly mapped onto recommendations from landmark clinical trials and guidelines. Clinicians who order these diagnostic tests as well as clinicians who interpret these diagnostic tests should collaborate to produce standardized reports that facilitate decision-making.

Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of thromboembolic events associated with angioplasty and stenting of the carotid artery with special regard to extra- or intracranial localization of stenosis. Methods. Twenty patients with symptomatic intracranial or extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis were treated with stenting and/or angioplasty. In 4 patients stenting was technically not feasible (all in the group with intracranial stenosis). All patients underwent diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and neurological examination within 48 hours before and after the procedure to detect periprocedural thrombembolic events. Results. Extracranial carotid angioplasty and stenting (eCAS) was technically feasible and successfull without procedure-related neurological complications in all cases. Intracranial stenting (iCAS) was not feasible in four cases including one patient with a fateful course. Concerning the restoration of the vessel diameter intracranial stenting was not as successful as eCAS, but more effective than balloon angioplasty alone. Incidence of thrombembolic events assessed by DWI was low. The detected periprocedural thrombembolic events were small and clinically silent. Conclusion. The risk of thromboembolic events during the endovascular treatment of symptomatic carotid artery stenosis was rather low for intra- and extracranial stenosis of the ICA in our patient sample, but one fatal course was observed.
