Overview

Offers a potential single-stage option for bilateral carotid disease; remains hypothesis-generating pending controlled trials.

Structured PICO

Does simultaneous bilateral carotid endarterectomy improve safety in patients with bilateral symptomatic lesions of internal carotid arteries?

P
Population
12 patients up to age 80 with bilateral symptomatic lesions of internal carotid arteries, prior myocardial infarction, stroke with recovery, and hemispheric and nonhemispheric episodes
I
Intervention
Simultaneous bilateral carotid endarterectomy at a single operation under general anesthesia
O
Outcome
Complicationssafety

Simultaneous bilateral carotid endarterectomy during a single anesthesia appears safe and avoids the hazards and delays of a second anesthetic-operative experience.
