Carotid reoperation safely relieved symptoms in patients with recurrent carotid stenosis. This procedure is warranted for symptomatic individuals, offering relief from focal and nonfocal neurological deficits.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Neurology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine

Background:

  • Recurrent carotid stenosis after endarterectomy can cause significant neurological symptoms.
  • The safety and efficacy of reoperation for symptomatic recurrent stenosis remain a concern for some clinicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of carotid reoperation in patients with symptomatic recurrent carotid stenosis.
  • To determine the safety and effectiveness of reoperation in relieving neurological symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 14 patients undergoing carotid reoperation for symptomatic recurrent stenosis.
  • Procedures included repeat endarterectomy with patch angioplasty, patch angioplasty alone, or vein graft replacement.
  • Follow-up averaged 27.4 months.

Main Results:

  • No persistent or recurrent focal symptoms were observed postoperatively.
  • All patients experienced relief from vertebrobasilar insufficiency symptoms.
  • Symptoms recurred early in 2 patients and late in 12 patients.

Conclusions:

  • Carotid reoperation is a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic recurrent carotid stenosis.
  • Reoperation should be considered for symptomatic patients, as it can successfully alleviate neurological deficits.
