颅外颈动脉狭窄诊疗进展

Progress on the diagnosis and treatment of extracranial carotid artery stenosis

颈动脉狭窄(carotid artery stenosis, CS)是指多种原因造成颈动脉的狭窄,导致脑供血不足,甚至出现缺血性脑卒中的临床症候群。动脉粥样硬化是颈动脉狭窄的主要病因。随着影像技术不断进步,CS的诊断及评估更加精准。腔内技术的进展,也为CS的诊治提供新思路。本文结合国内外相关文献,就颅外颈动脉粥样硬化性狭窄的诊疗进展作一综述。

Carotid artery stenosis(CS) is the clinical syndrome of stenosis of the carotid artery induced by different causes, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, or even ischemic stroke. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of carotid stenosis. With the development of imaging technology, diagnosis and evaluation of CS patients are more accurate. The progress of endovascular technology provides new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of CS patients. This article, combined with the domestic and foreign articles, reviews the progress of atherosclerotic stenosis of the extracranial carotid artery.
