Does carotid endarterectomy with patch graft closure prevent surgical complications, ischemic events, and restenosis in patients with atherosclerotic carotid stenosis?
Carotid endarterectomy with patch graft closure appears safe and effective for preventing acute thrombosis, ischemic events, and restenosis in patients with atherosclerotic carotid stenosis.

Tenjin et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Atherosclerotic carotid stenosis (n=17). Carotid endarterectomy with patch graft was evaluated on Surgical complications, ischemic events, and restenosis during follow-up. Carotid endarterectomy with patch graft resulted in 0% surgical complications, no ischemic symptoms, and no restenosis greater than 50% during a mean follow-up of 26.2 months.
