Recent American and European trials have clearly defined that surgery provides best treatment for unilateral critical stenosis of internal carotid artery. Isolated reports seem to confirm this trend also in cases with carotid critical stenosis with controlateral occlusion, even if a major surgical risk may be expected. In our experience in the last two years, out of 96 carotid enderterectomies 20 presented a controlateral occlusion. After routine pre-operative assessment, with particular regard to DSA "cross-filling" study, intervention has been performed under general anesthesia with BP+EEG cerebral monitoring in both groups of patients. In the non occluded group temporary shunt has been used in 19.7% of cases, in occluded the incident of shunting was 40%. Operative morbidity and mortality in the second group was surprisingly absent, with cumulative 4.1% complication rate. Our experience confirms that risks and results in carotid endoarterectomy are similar in both groups of patients. |
