Results of Carotid Endarterectomy with Prospective Neurologist Follow-up Neurol 55:769-772,746, Chaturvedi,S. et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The 30-day mortality rate was 4.5% and the 30-day stroke or death rate was 11.4%. One patient had a TIA due to thrombus formation at the operative site and a second patient had an asymptomatic intimal flap. With prospective follow-up by neurologists, the CE complication rate in an academic medical center was significantly higher than the rates reported in controlled clinical trials. The generalizability of data from CE clinical trials is limited and local audits are necessary to better establish the risk/benefit ratio for individual hospitals and surgeons.
