Predicting complications of carotid endarterectomy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid endarterectomy has been shown to be beneficial in patients with high-grade carotid stenosis and ipsilateral transient ischemic attack or stroke. This benefit will be realized only if the operation is performed safely. We sought to determine the extent to which clinically significant adverse events occurring after carotid endarterectomy can be predicted from clinic...
متن کاملAssessing risks associated with carotid endarterectomy.
This position statement provides guidelines for assessing risk associated with carotid endarterectomy and defines the point at which risk is too high to perform surgery for specific indications described below. Morbidity and mortality levels are discussed. This statement does not address indications for surgery or merits of specific medical or surgical treatments. Results of current studies tha...
متن کاملContralateral Occlusion Increases the Risk of Neurological Complications Associated with Carotid Endarterectomy
Objective. To report on the incidence and factors associated with the development of perioperative neurological complications following CEA in patients affected by carotid stenosis with contralateral occlusion (CO) and to compare results between those patients and the whole group of patients submitted to CEA at our vascular division from 1997 to 2012. Methods. Our nonrandomized prospective expe...
متن کاملRedo carotid endarterectomy versus primary carotid endarterectomy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several authorities have recently advocated carotid stenting for recurrent carotid stenosis because of the perception that redo surgery has a higher complication rate than primary carotid endarterectomy (CEA). This study compares the early and late results of reoperations versus primary CEA. METHODS All reoperations for recurrent carotid stenosis performed during a rece...
متن کاملComplications of cerebral angiography for patients with mild carotid territory ischaemia being considered for carotid endarterectomy.
It is essential to image the carotid bifurcation adequately in patients with symptomatic carotid territory ischaemia if they are being considered for carotid endarterectomy. Optimal resolution is achieved by selective intraarterial contrast angiography which is an invasive procedure carrying some risk. The overall risk-benefit of carotid endarterectomy is currently being investigated in several...
