Comparison of eversion carotid endarterectomy under local anesthesia and eversion/conventional carotid endarterectomy under general anesthesia

CONCLUSIONS: The mean operation time, postoperative in-hospital stay, overall in-hospital stay, and need for shunting were lower in patients who underwent E-CEA under local anesthesia. E-CEA under local anesthesia seemed to do better in stroke, death, and bleeding rate, however, this difference was not significant.PMID:37077466 | PMC:PMC10107416 | DOI:10.5114/kitp.2023.126096
