Results of Carotid Endarteriectomy under Locoregional Anesthesia in acute Ischemic Stroke with Watershed zone Infarction Population

Introduction: Cerebral border zone infarctions (Watershed infarctions) on the early postoperative outcomes of patient undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) were associated, in several studies, with a higher neurological complication rate. The current hypothesis is that hemodynamic phenomenon is involved. CEA performed under locoregional anesthesia enable to instantly reveal any hemodynamic phenomenon.
