Puntos clave

To assess the reliability of operative time as a quality metric and compare outcomes of endarterectomy techniques.
Retrospective analysis of multicenter data
Comparison of endarterectomy techniques (EEA vs. CEA)
Evaluation of short- and long-term outcomes
Assessment of peri-operative morbidity
EEA shows a faster operative time than CEA
Both techniques maintain comparable long-term outcomes
Lower peri-operative morbidity is observed with EEA

Resumen

Operative time alone is not a reliable quality metric. EEA provides a faster procedure than conventional CEA while maintaining comparable short- and long-term outcomes and lower peri-operative morbidity. It is a safe and efficient alternative in selected patients.
