“…5) 24) Chao at the Medical College of Peking performed the first successful surgery aimed at treating carotid occlusion on two people with carotid artery disease and anxiety and depression-like symptoms in 1938. 4) The procedure he described was a carotid artery excision without restoring blood flow. 4) Following the procedure both patient's mental conditions reportedly resolved leading to carotid excision becoming the neurosurgical treatment of choice for occlusion of the carotid artery.…”

Although this procedure was infrequently performed it remained the treatment of choice throughout the 1940's.…”

The neurosurgical approach to the management of ischemic stroke has evolved dramatically over the past century with the bulk of these changes occurring over the past 25 years. With recent advances in technology and continued refinements in neurosurgical techniques there has been significant improvement to the safety and efficacy of our treatment options. The focus of this article will be to review the historical and recent reports in the literature related to revascularization techniques.

“…After early failures in China 13 and Argentina, 14 the first successful carotid endarterectomy was performed in the US in 1953 by Michael De Bakey. 15 Nine years later in 1962, Bill Fields and others in the US started the first randomized trial of carotid endarterectomy.…”

“…Although there were earlier attempts at carotid surgery 1–3 there is controversy about who carried out the first carotid endarterectomy using the current technique. Crawford and Debakey 4 claimed in 1964 that he had carried out the surgery in May 1953, whereas others 5 consider Dr Stanley Crawford as the pioneer.…”

Symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis: just when we thought we had all the answers

The management of symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis has been a hotly debated topic for decades. The publication of four randomized controlled trials of carotid endarterectomy has clarified many of the issues. Patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis >70% benefit most with an absolute risk reduction of 17% over 2 years with numbers needed to treat of 3-6, whereas in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis >60%, the absolute risk reduction is 1% per annum (numbers needed to treat = 14-17). There is doubt about the benefit in women >70 years of age with asymptomatic stenosis. Carotid angioplasty and stenting is in its infancy and may one day supplant carotid endarterectomy as the treatment of choice; however, currently indications for this procedure include participation in randomized controlled trials, surgically inaccessible stenosis, in patients with combined symptomatic carotid and symptomatic coronary artery disease or in patients with severe co-morbidities that preclude formal carotid endarterectomy.
