Selective primary closure of large internal carotid arteries in endarterectomy is safe and effective. This approach avoids increased perioperative risks and long-term restenosis compared to routine patching.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • The necessity of carotid patching in carotid endarterectomy for reducing perioperative complications and long-term restenosis remains debated.
  • A hypothesis proposed that selective patching based on internal carotid artery size could yield comparable results to primary closure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a selective patching strategy versus primary closure in carotid endarterectomy.
  • To compare perioperative morbidity and long-term restenosis rates between primary closure and selective patching groups.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 133 carotid endarterectomies performed by a single surgeon.
  • Primary closure was utilized for arteriotomies closed without tension over a Javid shunt; selective patching was employed otherwise.

  • Postoperative duplex scans assessed outcomes at over 6 months for both groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Two perioperative neurologic deficits occurred, both in the patch group.
    • Rates of 50% or greater restenosis at 11 months were 10.8% for primary closure and 5.9% for patch closure (not statistically significant).
    • No late neurologic events or need for reoperation were observed in either group.

    Conclusions:

    • Selective primary closure in carotid endarterectomy is not linked to higher perioperative neurologic risks.
    • This selective approach does not show statistically significant increased late postoperative stenosis when applied to large internal carotid arteries.
