Simultaneous carotid artery reconstruction in patients undergoing other surgical interventions

We performed 343 vascular reconstructions of the supraaortal arteries from April 1996 to April 2000. Of these patients, 30 underwent combined vascular reconstructions - 22 combined extrathoracal and 8 combined transthoracal reconstructions. In 15 patients, carotid endarterectomy was combined with ot...

Description
Summary:We performed 343 vascular reconstructions of the supraaortal arteries from April 1996 to April 2000. Of these patients, 30 underwent combined vascular reconstructions - 22 combined extrathoracal and 8 combined transthoracal reconstructions. In 15 patients, carotid endarterectomy was combined with other cervical surgical interventions. In 10 patients, the vascular operation was combined with surgical interventions in other regions. No permanent complications were observed 8-52 months postoperatively, with the exception of one hemiparesis in the complex vascular operations. Consequently, we recommend the simultaneous surgical approach after careful individual assessment.
