Carotid Endarterectomy A Perspective

Authors: STEVEN L. ARNOLD MD

Abstract

ABSTRACTCarotid endarterectomies have been performed for over a decade now. To review the knowledge derived from this surgical experience, I studied 18 reports on the subject, giving attention to four specific phases of patient care: the diagnostic, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. Emphasis was placed on studying the causes of postoperative morbidity and mortality and how they are approached through radiologic, surgical, and medical technics.
