Carotid artery patching significantly reduces recurrent stenosis after endarterectomy compared to primary closure, especially in women. This prospective study highlights patching as a superior technique for long-term carotid artery health.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Recurrent stenosis after carotid endarterectomy is a clinical concern.
  • Carotid artery patching is advocated to reduce this complication.
  • Primary closure is an alternative surgical technique.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate the efficacy of saphenous vein patching versus primary closure in preventing recurrent stenosis after carotid endarterectomy.
  • To compare the rates of restenosis between the two surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study of 129 carotid endarterectomies with random selection for primary closure (62 patients) or saphenous vein patching (67 patients).
  • Duplex scanning at 3, 6, and 12 months post-operation.

  • Intravenous digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for initial control and 1-year reference.

    • Main Results:

    • 1-year follow-up in 105 patients (81%).
    • Overall recurrent stenosis (>50%) was 11% (12 cases).
    • Significantly higher restenosis after primary closure (21%) vs. patching (3.5%; p=0.006).
    • Higher restenosis in women (24%) vs. men (7.5%; p=0.03).
    • Women undergoing primary closure had the highest restenosis rate (55%).

    Conclusions:

    • Saphenous vein patching is superior to primary closure in reducing recurrent stenosis after carotid endarterectomy.
    • Women represent a higher-risk group for recurrent stenosis, particularly with primary closure.
    • Patching should be considered to improve long-term outcomes in carotid endarterectomy patients.
