Postoperative somnolence in patients after carotid endarterectomy.
Eighty-one patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy were divided into two groups based on the degree of stenosis of the carotid artery. Group I, 37 patients, was defined as having severe carotid stenosis (greater than 70%). Group II, 44 patients, was defined as having mild (less than 40%) or moderate (40% to 70%) carotid artery stenosis. Both groups were evaluated for neurologic and psycholog...
متن کاملRisk factors for death or stroke after carotid endarterectomy: observations from the Ontario Carotid Endarterectomy Registry.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid endarterectomy is an effective method for preventing strokes if patients do not suffer adverse perioperative outcomes. The purpose of this study was to identify preoperative patient risk factors for adverse outcomes (death or nonfatal stroke) after carotid endarterectomy through the use of a large population-based registry from Ontario, Canada. METHODS Medical r...

متن کاملRisk Factors for Perioperative Death and Stroke After Carotid Endarterectomy
Background and Purpose—The benefit of carotid endarterectomy is heavily influenced by the risk of perioperative death or stroke. This study developed a multivariable model predicting the risk of death or stroke within 30 days of carotid endarterectomy. Methods—The New York Carotid Artery Surgery (NYCAS) Study is a population-based cohort of 9308 carotid endarterectomies performed on Medicare pa...
متن کاملPostoperative Cortical Neural Loss Associated With Cerebral Hyperperfusion and Cognitive Impairment After Carotid Endarterectomy I-iomazenil SPECT Study
Background and Purpose—Although cerebral hyperperfusion after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) often impairs cognitive function, MRI does not always demonstrate structural brain damage associated with postoperative cognitive impairment. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether postoperative cortical neural loss, which can be detected by I-iomazenil single-photon emission CT, is ass...
