Intraoperative surgical stress was higher under LA and was blunted by carotid shunting under both LA and GA. Within 2 hours after surgery the anesthetic modality no longer had any impact on surgical trauma. The stress response to CEA, regardless of the type of anesthesia, was abolished within 24 hours. Intraoperative stress response, namely hypercortisolemia, directly correlated with subclinical and clinical cerebral hypoperfusion/ischemia during CACC. Hence, attenuation of the stress response to CEA might decrease the incidence of cerebral ischemic events.
