-==Overview==
+==[[Carotid artery stenosis overview|Overview]]==
-'''Carotid arterial stenosis''' is a narrowing of the lumen of the [[carotid artery]], usually by [[atheroma]] (a fatty lump or plaque  causing[[ atherosclerosis]]). Atheroma's may cause [[transient ischemic attack]]s (TIAs) and [[cerebrovascular accident]]s (CVAs) as it obstructs the bloodstream to the [[brain]].  It also has the potential to generate [[embolus|emboli]] (blood clots) that obstruct the cerebral arteries.
+==[[Carotid artery stenosis historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-The narrowing can either be [[asymptomatic]] (causing no medical problems) or presents with symptoms such as TIAs and CVAs.
+==[[Carotid artery stenosis classification|Classification]]==
-==Diagnosis==
+==[[Carotid artery stenosis pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-Carotid stenosis is usually diagnosed by [[ultrasound]] scan of the neck arteries.  This is the first imaging option and usually used for follow up and observation as it involves no radiation and no contrast agents that may cause [[allergic]] reactions.
-If there is doubt whether the narrowing is still patent (open to blood flow) and the patient is to be assessed for treatment, the next imaging option would either be [[computed tomography]] [[angiogram]] (CTA) or a [[magnetic resonance imaging]] angiogram (MRA).
+==[[Carotid artery stenosis causes|Causes]]==
-CTA is usually used as it's more widely available and faster (takes only several minutes).  However, it does involve significant [[X-ray]] radiation and the use of [[contrast agent]]s which is usually iodinated, which can cause allergic reactions, even [[anaphylaxis]] and can also cause [[renal failure]].
+==[[Carotid artery stenosis differential diagnosis|Differentiating Carotid artery stenosis from other Diseases]]==
-MRA takes much longer to complete, more costly and not yet as widely available.
+==[[Carotid artery stenosis epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
-==Ultrasound Criteria for Carotid Artery Stenosis==
+==[[Carotid artery stenosis risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
-*Normal:
-**ICA PSV is less than 125 cm/sec and no plaque or intimal thickening is visible sonographically.
-**Additional criteria include ICA/CCA PSV ratio < 2.0 and ICA EDV < 40 cm/sec.
-*<50% ICA stenosis:
-**ICA PSV is less than 125 cm/sec and plaque or intimal thickening is visible sonographically.
-**Additional criteria include ICA/CCA PSV ratio < 2.0 and ICA EDV < 40 cm/sec.
-*50%–69% ICA stenosis:
-**ICA PSV is 125–230 cm/sec and plaque is visible sonographically.
-**Additional criteria include ICA/CCA PSV ratio of 2.0–4.0 and ICA EDV of 40–100 cm/sec.
-*>=70% ICA stenosis but less than near occlusion
-**ICA PSV is greater than 230 cm/sec and visible plaque and luminal narrowing are seen at gray-scale and color Doppler US (The higher the Doppler parameter lies above the threshold of 230 cm/sec, the greater the likelihood of severe disease).
-**Additional criteria include ICA/CCA PSV ratio > 4 and ICA EDV > 100 cm/sec.
-*Vear occlusion of the ICA:
-**Velocity parameters may not apply, since velocities may be high, low, or undetectable.
-**Diagnosis is established primarily by demonstrating a markedly narrowed lumen at color or power Doppler US (35).
-*Total occlusion of the ICA
-**No detectable patent lumen at gray-scale US and no flow with spectral, power, and color Doppler US. <ref>Edward G. Grant, Carol B. Benson, Gregory L. Moneta, Andrei V. Alexandrov, J.

-==Treatment==
+==[[Carotid artery stenosis screening|Screening]]==
-Options for treatment include:
-*Conservative: [[Antiplatelet drug]]
-*[[Carotid endarterectomy]] (surgical removal of the atheroma)
