Abstract [en]

BackgroundThe risk of early stroke recurrence amongst patients with symptomatic carotid near-occlusion with and without full collapse is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the 90-day risk of recurrent ipsilateral ischaemic stroke in patients with symptomatic carotid near-occlusion both with and without full collapse. MethodsThis study was a secondary analysis of the Additional Neurological SYmptoms before Surgery of the Carotid Arteries: a Prospective study (ANSYSCAP). We prospectively analysed 230 consecutive patients with symptomatic 50-99% carotid stenosis or near-occlusion. Based on the combination of several imaging modalities, 205 (89%) patients were classified as having 50-99% carotid stenosis, and 10 (4%) and 15 (7%) as having near-occlusion with and without full collapse, respectively. The 90-day risk of recurrent ipsilateral ischaemic stroke was compared between these three groups. Only events that occurred before carotid endarterectomy were analysed. ResultsThe 90-day risk of recurrent stroke was 18% [95% confidence interval (CI) 12-25%; n=29] for patients with 50-99% carotid stenosis, 0% for patients with near-occlusion without full collapse and 43% (95% CI 25-89%; n=4) for patients with near-occlusion with full collapse (P=0.035, log-rank test). The increased risk of recurrent ipsilateral ischaemic stroke for patients with symptomatic near-occlusion with full collapse remained significant after multivariable adjustment for age, sex and type of presenting event. ConclusionsPatients with symptomatic carotid near-occlusion with full collapse might have a very high risk of stroke recurrence. Carotid endarterectomy could be considered for these patients.
