Our experiences with carotid artery endarterectomy operations
Abstract
Aims: In this retrospective study, we aimed to presentour experiences with patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) operations.
Methods: Between January 2011 and January 2021, a total of 88 patients (27 female, 61 male, mean age; 68.9 ± 8.7 and 41-88 years old) who underwent CEA were included in the study.Patients' files were reviewed.Bilateral CEA was performed in 2 of the patients. The complaints and demographic characteristics of the patients are shown in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was also performed in 10 (8 of them simultaneously and 2 of them 1 month later)of the patients. In one of these simultaneously operated patients, aortic valve replacement was performed in addition to CEA and CABG. On the other hand, the operation was terminated due to the development of intraoperative sudden cardiac arrest in 2 patients.
Results: Polytetrafluoroethylene patch, biological patch, Dacron patch, and great saphenous vein patch were used in 1, 1, 3,and 40 patients, respectively, while the CEA site was primarily closed in 43 patients.Characteristic features ofthe CEA operations are shown in Table 3. Also, complications of CEA surgery are shown in Table 4.In-hospital mortality was detected in 3 patients.
Conclusion: The early results of our CEA operations are in line with the literature.
