Primary Prevention and Screening Guidelines Recommendations
2011 American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Guidelines for the Primary Prevention of Stroke[1]
| Class III (No Benefit) |
| "1. Population screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is not recommended (Class III; Level of Evidence B). (Level of Evidence: B) " |
2011 ASA/ACCF/AHA/AANN/AANS/ACR/ASNR/CNS/SAIP/SCAI/SIR/SNIS/SVM/SVS Guideline on the Management of Patients With Extracranial Carotid and Vertebral Artery Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[2]
Carotid Artery Evaluation and Revascularization Before Cardiac Surgery (DO NOT EDIT)[2]
| Class IIa |
| "1. Carotid duplex ultrasound screening is reasonable before elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in patients older than 65 years of age and in those with left main coronary stenosis, PAD, a history of cigarette smoking, a history of stroke or TIA, or carotid bruit. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| "2. Carotid revascularization by CEA or CAS with embolic protection before or concurrent with myocardial revascularization surgery is reasonable in patients with greater than 80% carotid stenosis who have experienced ipsilateral retinal or hemispheric cerebral ischemic symptoms within 6 months. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| Class IIb |
| "1. In patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis, even if severe, the safety and efficacy of carotid revascularization before or concurrent with myocardial revascularization are not well established. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
