Abstract:
An analysis of the reason for re-exploration of the carotid bifurcation immediately after surgery has demonstrated that in the majority of cases it is a question of defects of the distal part of the seat of CEA. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the use of an originally planned catheter and shunt during carotid surgery that may obviate some of the problems faced daily by surgeons during carotid reconstruction.
