Area of Science:

Background:

Carotid endarterectomy is a common procedure to prevent stroke.
Restenosis after carotid endarterectomy can lead to recurrent symptoms or stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the eversion technique for carotid endarterectomy.
To assess the incidence of operative complications and restenosis using this method.

Main Methods:

The eversion technique was used in 31 consecutive carotid endarterectomy procedures since April 1991.
Patient outcomes, including operative deaths and neurologic complications, were prospectively monitored.

Main Results:

No operative deaths occurred in the series of 31 patients.
No neurologic complications were observed during the study period.
The eversion technique is believed to decrease the risk of both early and late restenosis.

Conclusions:

The eversion technique for carotid endarterectomy is a safe and effective procedure.
This technique is associated with a low risk of complications and may reduce restenosis rates.
The eversion technique is recommended for patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.
