Early Carotid Occlusion After Endarterectomy in a Patient With a Mutation for MTHFR A1298C Polymorphism

Conclusions: Even if the association between homocysteine and carotid restenosis after CEA is unclear, an initial screening before the surgical procedure could be useful to promptly treat this condition and probably reduce the risk of this complication. In the case of homozygous mutation, the selection of patients and the appropriate therapy could reduce the risk of carotid restenosis.
