摘要: Background The aim of this study was to clarify both the present status treatment for carotid stenosis with highly calcified plaques and appropriate treatment. Methods A total 140 consecutive treatments stenoses (carotid endarterectomy [CEA]:carotid artery stenting [CAS] 81:59) were enrolled in study. We classified patients into low-calcified plaque (LCP) high-calcified (HCP) groups by calcium score, determined a receiver operating characteristic analysis, we compared results after treatments. Results mean degree residual improvement rates CAS HCP group 9.7% ± 13.3% 87.0% 16.8%, respectively, whereas those LCP 1.7% 6.1% 97.9% 7.9% (both P Conclusions Carotid (calcium score ≥420) treated showed disadvantage stent expansion LCP, suggesting that CEA may be recommended as surgical option.
