Intracerebral hemorrhage following carotid endarterectomy: a hypertensive complication?

Two patients with transient ischemic attacks and subsequent minor cerebral infarction had repair of very tight carotid stenosis, 4 and 5 weeks respectively after their stroke. Each developed intracerebral hemorrhage when hypertension was uncontrolled during the post-operative period. Hypertension is a significant complication of carotid endarterectomy, and may be a prominent factor in the devel...

Simultaneous bilateral carotid endarterectomy: our first experience.

UNLABELLED Indications for and against bilateral carotid surgery as a simultaneous or a staged procedure and patient selection criteria for simultaneous bilateral carotid endarterectomies (SBCE) are discussed. METHODS Six patients who underwent 12 SBCE (group A) were compared with 20 patients who underwent 40 bilateral staged endarterectomies (group B). The indications and surgical management...

Complication rates after left- versus right-sided carotid endarterectomy.

BACKGROUND Studies suggest that the side of carotid endarterectomy (CE) may influence the rate of postoperative complications. We sought to clarify this by (1) analysis of individual-level data from 3 large studies and (2) systematic review and meta-analysis of additional published descriptions of outcomes by side. METHODS AND RESULTS The Western Canada Carotid Endarterectomy (WCCE) study (n=...
