    Summary

    Recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) after carotid endarterectomy require long-term follow-up. Identifying surgically correctable lesions is crucial for managing post-operative TIAs.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Neurology
    • Cerebrovascular Disease

    Background:

    • Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are a primary indication for carotid endarterectomy.
    • Understanding postoperative TIA recurrence is vital for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence and patterns of recurrent TIAs after carotid endarterectomy.
    • To evaluate the need for long-term patient follow-up post-surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 113 patients (121 carotid endarterectomies) between 1974-1979.
    • Categorization of recurrent TIAs based on timing and affected arterial distribution.

    Main Results:

    • 28 patients experienced recurrent TIAs during follow-up.
    • TIAs were categorized into early postoperative, late ipsilateral, contralateral, and vertebrobasilar insufficiency.
    • Stroke occurred in 5 patients (2 major, 3 minor).

    Conclusions:

    • Close, long-term follow-up is recommended for post-carotid endarterectomy patients.
    • Identifying surgically correctable lesions in recurrent TIAs is essential.
