Age (years) 67.6 ± 6.6 Male:Female (n) 17:3 Degree of stenosis (%) 74.9 ± 14.6 Symptomatic attack 19/20 (95%) Minor stroke 8/20 (40%) Transient ischemic attack 11/20 (55%) Risk factors Hypertension 16/20 (80%) Smoking 15/20 (75%) Hyperlipidemia 11/20 (55%) Diabetes mellitus 7/20 (35%) Vascular complications Ischemic heart disease 7/20 (35%) Arteriosclerosis obliterans 2/20 (10%)
Note.—Values are expressed as mean ± SD. The degree of carotid stenosis was calculated using the method described by the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial group 1. Ischemic heart disease was diagnosed by myocardial scintigraphy, and arteriosclerosis obliterans was diagnosed by ankle pressure index, pulse wave, and clinical symptoms.
