A 75-year-old man, who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft and repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm, suffered from angina pectoris due to severe aortic valve stenosis complicated with asymptomatic bilateral cervical internal carotid artery stenoses. Brain perfusion imaging revealed reduced cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular reactivity to acetazolamide in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres. First, the patient underwent left carotid endarterectomy, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Postoperative brain perfusion imaging showed improvement of cerebrovascular reactivity to acetazolamide in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres. Seven weeks later, the patient underwent aortic valve replacement, and his postoperative course was uneventful. Carotid endarterectomy rather than carotid artery stenting should be preceded for cervical carotid stenosis complicated with severe aortic valve stenosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D000086 Acetazolamide One of the CARBONIC ANHYDRASE INHIBITORS that is sometimes effective against absence seizures. It is sometimes useful also as an adjunct in the treatment of tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and atonic seizures, particularly in women whose seizures occur or are exacerbated at specific times in the menstrual cycle. However, its usefulness is transient often because of rapid development of tolerance. Its antiepileptic effect may be due to its inhibitory effect on brain carbonic anhydrase, which leads to an increased transneuronal chloride gradient, increased chloride current, and increased inhibition.

D001024 Aortic Valve Stenosis A pathological constriction that can occur above (supravalvular stenosis), below (subvalvular stenosis), or at the AORTIC VALVE. It is characterized by restricted outflow from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the AORTA.

D016893 Carotid Stenosis Narrowing or stricture of any part of the CAROTID ARTERIES, most often due to atherosclerotic plaque formation. Ulcerations may form in atherosclerotic plaques and induce THROMBUS formation. Platelet or cholesterol emboli may arise from stenotic carotid lesions and induce a TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT; or temporary blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX).
