  Objective: Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) reduces the risk of stroke in patients with asymptomatic and symptomatic extracranial carotid artery stenosis. Modern medical management of extracranial carotid artery stenosis has proven its efficacy and safety; therefore, a low perioperative risk in both anesthesia and surgery is paramount. Outcomes may depend on whether Locoregional Anesthesia (LA) or General Anesthesia (GA) is used. The optimal anesthetic for CEA is controversial. To determine whether the anesthetic method correlated with the outcome of the operation, a retrospective review of 2000 consecutive carotid operations performed over a 10-year period was performed. The aim of our study was to assess the perioperative risks of CEA under locoregional anesthesia compared to those under general anesthesia. The primary endpoint was the clini.. View more»
