Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Carotid stenosis poses a significant risk of stroke.
  • Surgical endarterectomy is a common treatment for severe carotid stenosis.
  • Assessing outcomes in different surgical settings is vital for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the perioperative and long-term outcomes of carotid endarterectomy.
  • To determine the safety and efficacy of the procedure in a specific department.
  • To identify areas for improvement in surgical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 97 carotid endarterectomies in 90 patients (1995-2003).
  • Data collected on patient demographics, stenosis severity, surgical procedures, and follow-up.

  • Analysis of perioperative complications, long-term morbidity, and mortality.

    • Main Results:

    • Combined morbidity-mortality rate was 8.9% for patients and 8.2% for surgeries.
    • Perioperative mortality occurred in 4 patients; 4 developed new neurologic deficits.
    • Long-term follow-up revealed deaths from other causes and subsequent neurologic events.

    Conclusions:

    • Carotid endarterectomy can be performed safely in low-volume centers using simple techniques.
    • Acceptable morbidity and mortality rates were achieved.
    • Continuous self-assessment of complications and results is essential for enhancing surgical outcomes.
