  • Title: [Risk surgery of the carotid. A balanced assessment of the use of locoregional anesthesia].
    Author: Lievore R, Candiani P, Vecchioni R.
    Journal: G Chir; 1991 Apr; 12(4):237-9. PubMed ID: 1911070.
    Abstract:
    The authors report their experience with regional anaesthesia in carotid surgery. They performed 80 carotid endarterectomies in 79 patients. Thirty-three patients were at high surgical risk because of contralateral internal carotid artery occlusion or bilateral stenosis (greater than 70%) or ischemic brain areas for past stroke. In this high risk group 4 strokes were registered in the postoperative period, while no strokes appeared in patients non at risk.
