    For carotid artery injuries, revascularization is the preferred surgical option for patients with neurological deficits (Grades 1-4). It is also recommended for comatose patients (Grade 5) if ischemia is recent, aiding recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Trauma Care

    Background:

    • Carotid artery injuries pose significant risks of stroke and neurological damage.
    • Surgical management options include revascularization, ligation, and occlusion.
    • Optimal treatment strategies require careful consideration of neurological status and ischemia duration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the outcomes of revascularization versus ligation or occlusion in patients with carotid artery injuries.
    • To identify the most effective surgical approach based on preoperative neurological deficits.
    • To determine the indications for revascularization in comatose patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 129 patients with carotid artery injuries.
    • Comparison of surgical outcomes between revascularization and ligation/occlusion groups.

  • Stratification of patients based on neurological deficit grades (1-5).

    • Main Results:

    • Revascularization was the preferred method for patients with neurological deficits (Grades 1-4).
    • Revascularization is indicated for comatose patients (Grade 5) with short-term ischemia.
    • Management of cerebral edema and infarct size is crucial for recovery in severe deficit cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Revascularization offers superior outcomes for most carotid artery injury patients.
    • Timely revascularization, tailored to neurological status, is key to improving patient prognosis.
    • Further research into optimizing recovery for severely affected patients is warranted.
