Intraoperative duplex scanning effectively identifies technical defects in carotid artery repair, improving surgical outcomes. Careful interpretation is key, as not all flow abnormalities necessitate intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Carotid artery repair aims to restore blood flow and prevent stroke.
  • Technical complications during surgery can compromise repair quality and patient outcomes.
  • Intraoperative assessment is crucial for ensuring the success of carotid reconstructions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative duplex scanning in identifying technical defects during carotid artery repair.
  • To determine if duplex scanning can improve the quality and outcomes of carotid artery reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study of 100 consecutive carotid operations in 96 patients.
  • Duplex scanning with peak systolic flow velocities (PSV) and B-mode imaging was used.

  • Criteria for revision included PSV > 150 cm/s, spectral broadening, or intimal defects.

    • Main Results:

    • 33 intraoperative duplex studies showed abnormal findings, leading to revisions in 21 cases.
    • Revisions addressed intimal flaps in the common and external carotid arteries, and abnormalities in the internal carotid artery.
    • Follow-up showed successful repairs in most cases, with few residual stenoses; one perioperative stroke occurred in a patient with a normal repair.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative duplex scanning is an efficient and sensitive tool for detecting technical lesions in carotid artery surgery.
    • It enables surgeons to maximize the quality of arterial reconstruction during the procedure.
    • Clinical judgment is necessary to differentiate significant defects from benign flow variations.
