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 ...

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses carotid endarterectomy. Stenotic lesions that have no effect on pressure or flow in the vessel are important to the development of stroke if they are a source of embolism because of the presence of ulceration. Majority of transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients have neck vessel disease. The rare combination of
