    Stroke is often caused by extracranial artery disease and is preventable. Carotid endarterectomy is effective for transient ischemic attacks, with low complication rates in experienced hands.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Stroke, frequently caused by extracranial cerebral artery disease, leads to significant mortality and morbidity.
    • Stroke is a preventable condition, often treatable through management of transient ischemic attacks or asymptomatic carotid bruits.
    • Improving patient education and physician awareness can reduce stroke incidence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of carotid endarterectomy.
    • To analyze outcomes of carotid endarterectomy performed by residents under supervision.
    • To inform surgical decision-making for stroke prevention.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective analysis of 200 carotid endarterectomies performed over 4 years.
    • Surgical procedures conducted by senior residents under direct author supervision.

  • Literature review to support findings and treatment recommendations.

    • Main Results:

    • Operative mortality was 1.5%.
    • Perioperative stroke rate was 1.5%.
    • Temporary neurologic deficit and cranial nerve injury rates were both 1%.

    Conclusions:

    • Carotid endarterectomy demonstrates favorable outcomes with low complication rates.
    • An aggressive surgical approach is supported for patients with transient ischemic attacks.
    • A more cautious approach is recommended for patients with prior stroke or asymptomatic stenosis.
