METHODS:
A cohort of 236 patients undergoing carotid
endarterectomy at a single centre was studied; 117
patients had primary closure of the arteriotomy and
119 patients in a sequential series had closure with a
Dacron patch. A standard endarterectomy with
completion intraoperative duplex imaging and digital
subtraction angiography was used throughout.
RESULTS:
Patch closure was associated with a significant
reduction in the 30-day combined death, stroke and
TIA rate: 10.3 per cent for primary closure versus 2.5
per cent for patch closure (P = 0.017). The risk of
any cerebral event (stroke or TIA) was also
significantly reduced (7.7 versus 1.7 per cent; P =
0.033). Residual stenosis on completion angiography
was more common after primary closure (24.6
versus 7.4 per cent; P = 0.003).
CONCLUSION:
