Eversion carotid endarterectomy (CEA) shows lower restenosis rates but no significant difference in stroke risk compared to conventional CEA. Surgeon experience should guide technique selection due to limited evidence on overall benefits and harms.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Cerebrovascular Disease Management
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Conventional carotid endarterectomy (CEA) uses longitudinal arteriotomy.
  • Eversion CEA employs transverse arteriotomy and reimplantation, with reported low stroke/restenosis rates but potential flap complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the safety and effectiveness of eversion CEA versus conventional CEA.
  • To test the null hypothesis of no difference in outcomes between the two CEA techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials comparing eversion and conventional CEA.
  • Searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Stroke Group Trials Register, and other sources up to December 1999.
  • Assessed outcomes including perioperative and follow-up stroke, death, restenosis/occlusion, and local complications.

Main Results:

  • Five trials involving 2465 patients were analyzed.
  • Eversion CEA demonstrated significantly lower rates of restenosis (>50%) during follow-up (2.5% vs. 5.2%).
  • No significant differences were found in perioperative stroke/death, follow-up stroke, or local complications between the techniques.

Conclusions:

  • Eversion CEA may reduce arterial occlusion and restenosis risks, but sample sizes are insufficient for definitive conclusions.
  • Observed reductions in restenosis did not translate to a statistically significant reduction in stroke risk.
  • The choice between eversion and conventional CEA should be based on surgeon experience and familiarity pending further evidence.
