Perioperative and Late Stroke Rates of Carotid Endarterectomy Contralateral to Carotid Artery Occlusion Stroke 31:1566-1571, AbuRahma,A.F. et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract In 399 CEAs (357 patients) that were randomized into primary closure versus patching, 49 had contralateral occlusion. Strokes were designated as ipsilateral if they arose from the same CEA side and contralateral if they arose from the occluded side. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate perioperative strokes and stroke-free survival in patients with contralateral occlusion (group A) versus those without contralateral occlusion (group B). Group A had a higher incidence of contralateral TIAs and strokes than group B; however, the perioperative and all late stroke rates and survival rates of CEA were comparable in patients with and without contralateral occlusion.
