Summary

Carotid endarterectomy is safe using only duplex scans, without preoperative angiography, for select patients. This study found low complication rates, supporting its use in routine practice.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Carotid endarterectomy is a procedure to remove plaque from carotid arteries.
  • Preoperative angiography has been the standard for evaluating carotid artery stenosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of performing carotid endarterectomy based solely on carotid duplex scanning, omitting preoperative angiography.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 109 carotid endarterectomies performed between January 1990 and September 1994.
  • Carotid duplex scanning was used as the sole preoperative imaging modality.

Main Results:

  • A perioperative mortality rate of 1.8% was observed.
  • Two non-disabling strokes occurred, with good outcomes in cases of poor correlation between duplex and intraoperative findings.

Conclusions:

  • Carotid endarterectomy guided by duplex scanning alone is a safe and effective option for selected patients.
  • Omitting preoperative angiography in favor of duplex scanning may streamline the surgical process without compromising patient safety.
