  • Title: Carotid stump syndrome: pathophysiology and endovascular treatment options.
    Author: Lakshminarayan R, Scott PM, Robinson GJ, Ettles DF.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2011 Feb; 34 Suppl 2():S48-52. PubMed ID: 20552197.
    Abstract:
    Carotid stump syndrome is one of the recognised causes of recurrent ipsilateral cerebrovascular events after occlusion of the internal carotid artery. It is believed that microemboli arising from the stump of the occluded internal carotid artery or the ipsilateral external carotid artery can pass into the middle cerebral artery circulation as a result of patent external carotid-internal carotid anastomotic channels. Different pathophysiologic causes of this syndrome and endovascular options for treatment are discussed.
