Summary

Standard carotid endarterectomy can unexpectedly occlude external carotid artery flow. A simple maneuver to remove intimal flaps can salvage external carotid arteries, ensuring continued blood flow.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Cerebrovascular Surgery

Background:

  • Carotid endarterectomy is a common procedure to prevent stroke.
  • Potential complications include external carotid artery occlusion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a technique for salvaging external carotid arteries occluded during carotid endarterectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Examined external carotid artery flow post-carotid endarterectomy in 50 patients.
  • Identified absent flow in two patients and performed targeted external carotid endarterectomy.

Main Results:

  • Two patients (4%) had absent distal external carotid artery flow.
  • An intimal flap was identified and removed, restoring flow without affecting internal carotid artery patency.

Conclusions:

  • A simple external carotid endarterectomy technique can salvage occluded arteries.
  • This maneuver prevents complications from external carotid artery occlusion during standard procedures.
