  • Title: [Placement of stent for internal carotid artery stenosis in the cervical portion improved ocular ischemic syndrome].
    Author: Onizuka M, Matsuya N, Miyazaki H.
    Journal: No To Shinkei; 2001 Jul; 53(7):679-82. PubMed ID: 11517496.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of ocular ischemic syndrome due to severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery. The patient was a 67-year-old man with a hemispheric transient ischemic attack and an amaurosis fugax. Ocular examination showed multiple soft exudates and dilatation of the retinal veins. Carotid stenting was performed to reconstruct the internal carotid artery. The multiple soft exudates were almost diminished and the visual acuity was improved. These results suggest that carotid stenting for severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery should be one of the less invasive methods to improve the microcirculation of the retina.
