Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Is Associated with Increased Risk of Bleeding and Decreased Risk of Stroke Following Carotid Endarterectomy
Despite many patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) being on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for cardiac or neurologic indications, the impact of such therapy on perioperative outcomes remains unclear. We aim to compare rates of postoperative bleeding, stroke and major adverse events (stroke, death or MI) among patients on Aspirin alone (ASAA) versus DAPT (Clopidogrel and Aspirin).

Predictors of Cervical Bleeding after Carotid Endarterectomy
Conclusions: Postoperative severe bleeding after carotid surgery in our institution is not an uncommon complication. Its incidence is within the range reported in the literature, but it is not associated with major complications or mortality. Antiplatelet treatment with clopidogrel is the main risk factor associated with reintervention. Other factors, such as coagulation control, postoperative hypertension management, and the use of an autologous patch, could help reduce its incidence.
