Overview

For people with a greater than 70% stenosis within the carotid artery, removal of atherosclerotic plaque by surgery, specifically a carotid endarterectomy, may be recommended.

Surgery

Surgical management of patients with TIA may include the following:

Mechanical thrombectomy

There is limited evidence to support the use of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with minor or transient ischemic stroke. Large vessel occlusion is a poor predictor of neurological disability in patients having transient ischemic attack. According to AHA/ASA guidelines, it is postulated that patients with NIHSS score <6 or having evidence of large vessel occlusion may benefit from early endovascular therapy.[1][2][3][4]

Carotid Endartectomy

Carotid endartectomy may be performed within 2 weeks of cerebral or retinal TIA in those with TIA attributed to a high-grade internal carotid artery stenosis:[5][6][4]

Degree of carotid artery stenosis Carotid endartectomy
70-99% internal carotid artery stenosis Recommended
50-69% stenosis Recommended only in specific situation†
<50% stenosis Not recommended

Extracranial-Intracranial Bypass

Extracranial-intracranial bypass is not recommended in patients with TIA.[5]



†Recommended only in certain patients and at centres with perioperative complication rate of <6%
