I.はじめに
高齢化の進むわが国において,虚血性脳血管障害は年年増加する傾向にある。その主な原因である動脈硬化症は,単に脳血管だけでなく,冠動脈や四肢の動脈など全身の血管性病変である。今回われわれは,虚血性心疾患を伴った頸部内頸動脈狭窄症に対し,先ず経皮的冠動脈形成術(percutaneous transluminal coronary angio—piasty;以下PTCAと略す)施行後,頸部内頸動脈血栓内膜剥離術(carotid endarterectomy;以下CEAと略す)を行い,良好な経過をとった症例を経験したので若干の文献的考察を加えて報告する.
Abstract
A 66-year-old-man with carotid stenosis complicated by coronary disease is reported. He suffered from mild motor weakness on the right side and speech distur-bance. Radiological examination revealed 90% stenosis at the cervical portion of the left internal carotid artery, and two-vessel coronary disease. In order to prevent in-traoperative cardiac stroke, initial percutaneous coron-ary angioplasty (PTCA), was performed and the subse-quent carotid endarterectomy (CEA) was performed successfully. Preoperative symptoms gradually improv-ed and he was discharged as ambulatory.
Because atherosclerosis is always systemic, patients with carotid artery disease should be examined for coronary disease. We recommend greater use of coro-nary angiography and, when a lesion is found, the use of PTCA, which is a safer method in terms of prevent-ing intraoperative cardiac stroke of CEA than any other method.
