Surgical Clinics of North America, 1980
Thousands of carotid endarterectomies are now performed each year. In properly selected patients in the hands of competent surgeons, the mortality and morbidity rate should not exceed 2 per cent. Although the long-term results are good, this procedure is prophylactic, and a patient who has already sustained a fixed neurologic deficit will rarely be ...

Although controversies still exist, recently reported trials have confirmed the efficacy of carotid endarterectomy and more clearly elucidated the appropriate indications for surgical therapy. The efforts to optimize outcomes for patients with carotid artery disease have expanded to the asymptomatic patient, the patient suffering from stroke, and the ...

During the last 20 years carotid endarterectomy has become an important method of treatment for selected patients with arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease. Improvement in selection of patients for operation, in anesthetic management, and in surgical techniques has resulted in a decline in complications associated with the operation.

Carotid endarterectomy in octogenerians
Cardiovascular Surgery, 2000Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in octogenerians. Methods: The records of 59 CEA performed in 57 patients who were 80 yr or older between April 1993 and September 1998 were reviewed. There were 33 males and 24 females with a mean age of 82.

Carotid endarterectomy has been practiced as a method of reducing the risk of future stroke since 1956.1Its logical appeal is such that it is now the most commonly performed vascular procedure other than aortocoronary bypass and, at more than 80,000 operations per year, the third most commonly performed surgical procedure in the United States.2Recently,

Monitoring in carotid endarterectomy
2022Cerebral ischemia during carotid endarterectomy occurs via several mechanisms: inadequate collateral blood flow during carotid cross-clamping, thromboembolism due to carotid manipulation, and/or rethrombosis at the surgical site. Perioperative strokes increase not only the morbidity of endarterectomy but also its short- and long-term mortality. However,

Carotid endarterectomy in the elderly
Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 1999Increasing life expectancy has resulted in an increasing number of elderly. As the elderly population grows, the incidence of stroke will increase. Many such strokes result from carotid stenosis (CS). In view of the benefits of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) shown in recent clinical trials, it would seem prudent that surgery for CS be considered for ...
