Journal ArticleDOI
Beneficial effect of carotid endarterectomy in symptomatic patients with high-grade carotid stenosis
Barnett Hjm.,D W Taylor,Richard Haynes,David L. Sackett,Sydney J. Peerless,Gary G. Ferguson,Allan J. Fox,R N Rankin,Vladimir Hachinski,Wiebers Do,Michael Eliasziw +10 more
TL;DR: Carotid endarterectomy is highly beneficial to patients with recent hemispheric and retinal transient ischemic attacks or nondisabling strokes and ipsilateral high-grade stenosis of the internal carotid artery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefit of carotid endarterectomy in patients with symptomatic moderate or severe stenosis. North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial Collaborators.
H.J.M. Barnett,D W Taylor,Michael Eliasziw,Allan J. Fox,Gary G. Ferguson,Richard Haynes,R N Rankin,G. P. Clagett,Vladimir Hachinski,David L. Sackett,Kevin E. Thorpe,Heather Meldrum,J. D. Spence +12 more
TL;DR: Benefit of carotid endarterectomy was greatest among men, patients with recent stroke as the qualifying event, and patients with hemispheric symptoms, and decisions about treatment for patients in this category must take into account recognized risk factors.
Journal Article
The 6-minute walk: a new measure of exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure
Gordon H. Guyatt,Michael J. Sullivan,Penelope J. Thompson,Ernest L. Fallen,S. O. Pugsley,D W Taylor,Leslie B. Berman +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the 6-minute walk is a useful measure of functional exercise capacity and a suitable measure of outcome for clinical trials in patients with chronic heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of pooled data from the randomised controlled trials of endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis.
Peter M. Rothwell,Michael Eliasziw,Sergei A. Gutnikov,Allan J. Fox,D W Taylor,Mayberg,Charles Warlow,H. J. M. Barnett +7 more
TL;DR: Re-analysis of the trials with the same measurements and definitions yielded highly consistent results, indicating that surgery is of some benefit for patients with 50-69% symptomatic stenosis, and highly beneficial for those with 70% symptome stenosis or greater but without near-occlusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
The North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial Surgical Results in 1415 Patients
G. G. Ferguson,Michael Eliasziw,Hugh W. K. Barr,G. P. Clagett,R. W. Barnes,M. C. Wallace,D W Taylor,Richard Haynes,J. W. Finan,Vladimir Hachinski,H. J. M. Barnett +10 more
TL;DR: The overall rate of perioperative stroke and death was 6.5%, but the rate of permanently disabling stroke anddeath was only 2.0%, indicating that carotid endarterectomy is a durable procedure.
