Contents of This CME/CE Activity

    Often, the major questions currently faced by clinicians who treat symptomatic internal carotid artery disease involve (1) making and confirming a diagnosis of symptoms relevant to the disease, (2) accurately diagnosing the location and extent/severity of the disease, (3) deciding on the most appropriate medical and/or surgical/interventional treatment, and (4) monitoring long-term follow-up status of the disease. This disease requires a high suspicion for being present in the appropriate clinical setting and then requires rapid action in that setting to either exclude or treat it.

    Two patient case scenarios are presented that encompass many of the diagnostic and treatment issues confronting clinicians caring for patients with carotid artery disease. The 2 cases are complementary, and by working through each case, the clinician will be better equipped to manage patients with this disease and hopefully provide better outcomes for their patients.
