Eversion endarterectomy under full prasugrel treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The third-generation thienopyridine prasugrel has much stronger antiplatelet effect compared to other current antiplatelet inhibitors and exhibits practically zero resistance in healthy people. Prasugrel is used as a pre- and post-treatment in percutaneous coronary or neurovascular interventions with parallel aspirin regime. However, as there is a higher reported bleeding with intraluminal interventions and meticulous technique is recommended, there is nearly non-existent international experience of open surgery under full prasugrel treatment. We present, herein, a case of open carotid endarterectomy with the eversion technique in an asymptomatic patient with carotid stenosis, who was receiving dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and prasugrel, due to a previous insertion of two newer drug-eluting stents at the left anterior descending artery and the right coronary artery. The resistance test to prasugrel showed complete inhibition of platelet function. Open surgery was performed under continuation of prasugrel treatment and interruption of aspirin for 3 days before surgery. No perioperative and postoperative neurologic or cardiologic event occurred. No bleeding at the cervical or cerebral area was noted.

The aim of this article is to explain technique of eversion CEA (carotid endarterectomy), as well as to determine that eversion CEA is more effective than conventional CEA. Eversion CEA can be performed in two methods. When atherosclerotic process mostly involves common carotid artery, the procedure should start with common carotid transection, followed by eversion CEA in cranial and than in ca...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is beneficial in patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. However, randomized trials have not provided evidence concerning the optimal CEA technique, conventional or eversion.
