This study evaluated carotid endarterectomy outcomes in 102 patients. Most patients experienced good surgical results, with low rates of postoperative complications like myocardial infarction and thrombosis.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Carotid endarterectomy is a critical procedure for preventing stroke.
  • Understanding long-term outcomes and complication rates is essential for patient management.
  • Historical data provides valuable insights into surgical techniques and patient demographics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the outcomes of carotid endarterectomy procedures.
  • To identify the incidence of complications following carotid endarterectomy.
  • To assess the efficacy of carotid endarterectomy in a specific patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 104 carotid endarterectomies performed between 1980 and 1992.
  • Data collection on patient demographics, surgical site (left/right carotid bifurcation), and age distribution.

  • Documentation of postoperative complications, including death, myocardial infarction, and thrombosis.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 102 patients underwent 104 procedures, with a majority (61.8%) on the left carotid artery bifurcation.
    • The most affected age group was 41-50 years (47 cases).
    • Low complication rates were observed: one death (myocardial infarction) and one case of internal carotid artery thrombosis; the rest had good outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Carotid endarterectomy demonstrates a favorable safety profile with good surgical outcomes in the studied cohort.
    • The procedure is effective in managing carotid artery disease, with minimal major postoperative complications.
    • Age and surgical site (left vs. right carotid bifurcation) are key demographic factors to consider.
