Reconstructive Surgery for Carotid Artery Lesions

Abstract

We report several reconstructive surgeries for various cervical carotid lesions. Representative carotid surgery is carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Our method is a routine use of shunt system in CEA. The outcomes of our CEA are no mortality and 1.0% morbidity, which is attributable to meticulous surgical manipulations and perioperative general management, including blood pressure control under propofol sedation. In the extracranial carotid arterial
