Abstrakt: Background: Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are uncommon neuroendocrine tumors at the carotid bifurcation treated with resection. The goal of this study was to examine patient outcomes after CBT resection and establish predictors of morbidity.
Methods: Patients undergoing CBT resection were identified from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database over 11 years. Demographics, past medical history, preoperative labs, procedural details, morbidity and mortality were recorded. Multivariable logistic regression (MLR) analysis was performed to determine independent predictors of morbidity.
Results: From 2010 to 2020, 668 CBT resections were identified. The majority of patients were female (65%) and White (72%) with a mean age of 56 (standard deviation [SD] ± 16). Average body mass index (BMI) was 29.9 (SD ± 7.1). Arterial resection occurred in 81 patients (12%). 6% of patients experienced morbidity, most commonly re-operation (2.4%). Morbidity was more common in patients with higher BMI (33.1 vs. 29.7, P = 0.005), chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (10% vs. 1.9%, P = 0.012), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (P = 0.005), and lower albumin (3.7 vs. 4, P = 0.016). Morbidity was not increased with arterial resection (P = 1) or based on length of operation (P = 0.169). Morbidity did not impact mortality (P = 0.06) though led to longer length of stay [LOS] (8 days vs. 2.4, P < 0.001). On MLR, preoperative BMI was the only risk factor for morbidity (odds ratio 1.06, 95% confidence interval 1.02-1.1, P = 0.005).
Conclusions: CBT resection is very well tolerated with low stroke rates, morbidity, and mortality. Arterial resection leads to increased transfusion requirements and LOS but did not increase stroke rates, mortality, or overall morbidity. Within the NSQIP database, preoperative BMI was the only predictor of postoperative morbidity, which leads to significantly longer LOS.
