Question 3

what causes cerebral infarction?

Accepted Answer

Cerebral infarct: Cerebral infarction, or stroke, occurs due to suddenly decreased blood supply to part of the brain.  This is common when a piece of arterial debris or a blood clot lodges in a small artery.

The risk factors for stroke are smoking, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, high blood sugar, and arterial disease.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

: You could ask a radiologist to review the prior studies to determine whether there was some carotid stenosis in those studies. It is felt by some experts that mild stenosis progresses slowly while stenosis of 50 % or more progresses more rapidly. I recommend consulting a vascular surgeon to determine how best to follow-up your carotid stenosis.

Question 6

what is the probability of stroke with both mitral valve regurgitation and stenosis of carotid artery?

Accepted Answer

Carotid v. Mitral : The carotid disease if stenosed (&gt;80%) warrants surgical consideration as risk of stroke is increased. The mr, if miderate to severe, poses a risk for congestive heart failure not stroke.  If not allergic or have issues with platelet function, daily Aspirin 81mg is recommended for atherosclerosis.

Question 7

could carotid artery stenosis cause sciatica nerve pain?

Accepted Answer

NO: Carotid artery is in neck and sciatica pain is in back and leg.  There is no correlation at all.

Question 8

can past vad - vertebral arterty dissection cause stenosis or a bruit in the carotid artery? or any other stress to local arteries? what is the path?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: A bad trauma can cause dissection of vertebral and carotid arteries at the same time but rare. Carotid bruit can indicate a stenosis which is usually atherosclerosis. Fibromuscular dysplasia can cause narrowing. Fmd is usually in women. Fmd can affect the vertebral arteries and the carotid arteries. Fmd can cause dissection in vertebral and carotid arteries.

Question 9

carotid artery stenosis is how common at which age groups?

Accepted Answer

Greater than 65 : The incidence of carotid stenosis increases steadily as one ages. More common in men than women, and significantly after age 65.

Question 10

can carotid artery stenosis cause sciatica?

Accepted Answer

No: There are arterial conditions in your legs that can cause leg pain similar to sciatica in some cases. Your carotid artery in your neck is too far removed from your legs to affect them in this way. Vascular disease in your carotid artery however may suggest vascular problems elsewhere such as your legs. You can be assessed by lumbar MRI and vascular assessment of your legs to assess leg pain.
