Is Routine Intravascular Shunting Necessary for Carotid Endarterectomy in Patients with Contralateral Occlusion? A Review of 5-Year Experience of Carotid Endarterectomy with Local Anaesthesia

Abstract: Routine use of intravascular shunting for a stenotic carotid artery with contralateral occlusion may not be necessary. The choice of using a shunt is safe when made intraoperatively by assessing the neurological status of the patient continuously. This requires expertise and strong cooperation between the anaesthesiologist and the surgical teams.

“…8,9 Routine or selective use of an intraluminal shunt during CEA has been reported to be effective for avoidance of this risk. 45,46 CAS also requires shorter temporary occlusion during the procedure. On the basis of a system- atic review of 206 independent studies of 54,713 patients who received CAS, Touzé et al 47 found that CAS contralateral to carotid occlusion does not increase the operative risk.…”

“…Due to endothelial dissection of the vessel, the shunt presents a higher risk of severe injury to the intima at the insertion point and a greater probability of thrombosis in the operated area; they can also increase the technical difficulty of the procedure (visualization of the plaque), causing an increase in the arteriotomy and can, also, increase the risk of aerial and atherothrombotic embolization, due to the greater handling of the artery [12,16,17].…”
