Todd's paralysis due to hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid endarterectomy mimicking postoperative stroke
J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 2023 Jun 19. doi: 10.23736/S0021-9509.23.12720-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTodd's paralysis is a neurological deficit that is observed in <10% of patients following epileptic seizures. Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a rare complication following carotid endarterectomy (CEA), seen in 0-3% of the patients, characterized by focal neurological deficit, headache, disorientation, and sometimes seizures. In this case report, we present a case of CHS after CEA followed by seizures and Todd's paralysis that mimicked postoperative stroke. A 75-year-old female patient was admitted for CE...

Results of carotid endarterectomy with the use of temporary shunts with reduced retrograde pressure in the internal carotid artery — analysis of the multicenter Russian register
ConclusionTemporary carotid shunts during carotid endarterectomy were associated with increased rates of asymptomatic stroke. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of non-fatal or fatal stroke, myocardial infarction, and mortality.

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
