What are the mechanisms and risk factors for perioperative stroke in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy under cervical block anesthesia?
Perioperative stroke during carotid endarterectomy under cervical block anesthesia is strongly associated with specific risk factors like contralateral occlusion and clamping intolerance, highlighting the need for standardized risk stratification.
Anthony M. Imparato (1982) studied this question.
