    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Context:

    • Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove plaque from carotid arteries.
    • Symptomatic patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIA) or mild neurological deficits are candidates for this intervention.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of carotid endarterectomy in symptomatic patients.
    • To assess postoperative complication rates and long-term outcomes.

    Summary:

    • 77 carotid endarterectomies were performed on 73 symptomatic patients, primarily those with TIA.
    • Low-risk patients had a 3.3% rate of mild neurological deficit, while high-risk patients experienced a higher complication rate, including stroke.
    • Follow-up averaged 21.5 months, with an estimated 5-year survival of 87% and only one fatal stroke post-operation.

    Impact:

    • Carotid endarterectomy demonstrates favorable long-term survival and a low risk of fatal stroke.
    • Patients recovering without complications have an 86% chance of remaining neurologically intact.
