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 کاملCarotid endarterectomy. Complications and preoperative assessment of risk.
A system of grouping patients according to preoperative evaluation of risk of carotid endarterectomy is presented. The primary complications of this surgical procedure were myocardial infarction and residual mild to severe neurologic deficit. Neurologically stable patients without medical or angiographically determined risk factors (group 1, 129 patients) have a risk of 1%. Neurologically stabl...
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 کاملSurgical outcome of the non-shunt carotid endarterectomy.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Nearly 60 years after the advent of carotid endarterectomy (CEA), controversy continues regarding the necessity of an indwelling shunt during carotid reconstruction. Reasonable arguments have been made for monitoring-dependent shunting, and remarks can be made in favor of non-shunt procedure. Based on the results of several studies, most strokes after CEA are thromboemb...
متن کاملCarotid Revascularization: Carotid Endarterectomy
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a procedure that has reliably decreased the risk of cerebrovascular events and death in patients with severe carotid stenosis. In this chapter, important concepts in the preoperative assessment of patients undergoing CEA will be reviewed. An overview of the clinical trials highlighting current indications will be provided, followed by a discussion of the surgical...
