    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    External carotid endarterectomy offers revascularization for cerebrovascular symptoms but carries stroke risks. Caution is advised, especially for patients with pre-existing neurological deficits or bilateral carotid disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cerebrovascular Disease

    Background:

    • External carotid artery (ECA) revascularization is performed for transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and amaurosis fugax.
    • It can also serve as a prelude to extracranial-to-intracranial bypass surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes and complications of external carotid endarterectomy.
    • To identify risk factors associated with adverse events following the procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 49 external carotid revascularization procedures in 36 patients.
    • Procedures included unilateral endarterectomy and operations for additional occlusive lesions.
    • Patient data included preoperative neurologic status and extent of carotid disease (unilateral vs. bilateral).

    Main Results:

    • Five patients (10.2%) experienced operation-related strokes, including one death.
    • Three of eight patients with bilateral disease and preoperative neurologic deficits suffered strokes.
    • Five additional patients had late neurologic events post-procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • External carotid thromboendarterectomy is technically straightforward but associated with significant risks.
    • The procedure should be approached with caution in patients with identifiable risk factors, particularly those with preoperative neurologic deficits or bilateral carotid disease.
