Key result
A retrospective evaluation of 85 patients examined the characteristics and early results of different carotid endarterectomy techniques for severe internal carotid artery stenosis.
Why the study?
Carotid endarterectomy prevents stroke in severe ICA stenosis, but carries a 2-7.5% perioperative stroke risk.
Observational (n=85)
A retrospective evaluation of 85 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy to assess patient characteristics and early surgical outcomes.
Hypothesis-generating for CEA technique selection in small cohort; prospective trials needed before practice change.
Objectives: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a safe and effective surgical technique that prevents stroke in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. However, this surgical procedure is associated with a perioperative stroke risk of 2-7.5%. In this study, we examined the characteristics and early results of patients who underwent surgery for carotid artery stenosis in light of the current literature.
