    This study presents surgical outcomes for 163 carotid endarterectomies. Key factors like magnified vision and heparinization contributed to low mortality (0.6%) and morbidity (2.5%) rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Carotid endarterectomy is a critical procedure for stroke prevention.
    • Improving surgical outcomes in carotid endarterectomy is a significant clinical goal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the immediate surgical results of carotid endarterectomy.
    • To identify factors contributing to successful surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 163 consecutive carotid endarterectomy procedures.
    • Evaluation of surgical techniques including magnified vision, heparinization, intimal tacking sutures, and indwelling shunts.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a mortality rate of 0.6%.
    • Reported a permanent neurological morbidity rate of 2.5%.

  • Identified specific surgical techniques associated with improved outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • The presented surgical techniques are associated with favorable outcomes in carotid endarterectomy.
    • Magnified vision, full heparinization, intimal tacking sutures, and indwelling shunts are key elements for success.
