Condition: Radiation-induced Carotid Artery Stenosis · Sponsor: Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing
Cervical radiotherapy (RT) has greatly reduced the mortality of patients with malignant head and neck tumors, which, however, causes a higher risk of carotid artery stenosis, namely, radiation-induced carotid artery stenosis (RICS) and results in a significant increased risk of ischemic stroke. The systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by our team showed carotid endarterectomy (CEA) can yield better results for these patients than carotid artery stenting (CAS), which was contrary to most previous clinical guidelines. A large-scale prospective study is needed to verify the results. We will conduct a prospective registry of RICS patients treated with CEA to evaluate both short-term safety and long-term efficacy outcomes in a Chinese population.
