Efficacy and Outcome of Carotid Endarterectomy for Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis

Sponsor: Assiut University

Summary

Neurovascular complications can result from this procedure usually from thromboembolism from the operated vessel, cerebral hypoperfusion causing ischaemia and, rarely, intracerebral haemorrhage. The overall incidence of perioperative strokes complicating CEA is approximately 4% ,and represents a devastating outcome that the procedure was designed to prevent. Other neurological sequelae complicating carotid revascularisation include cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome, cranial and peripheral nerve injuries, and contrast encephalopathy in patients undergoing CAS. The aim of this study is To evaluate the safety and efficacy of carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid Stenosis patients
