PRIMARY PERIOPERATIVE OUTCOMES OF ENDARTERECTOMY AND ANGIOPLASTY IN THE TREATMENT OF CAROTID ARTERY STENOSIS AT A TERTIARY PUBLIC UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

Retrospective observational study in patients submitted to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and transluminal carotid angioplasty (TCA), based on the review of 78 medical records divided into 2 groups, according to the presence or absence of symptoms. Patients selected for surgical intervention comprised both asymptomatic with stenosis greater than 80% and symptomatic with >70% stenosis of the lumen of the internal carotid artery (ICA), basing the degrees of stenosis on the NASCET/ECST criteria.

基于对78份病历的回顾性观察研究，这些病历根据患者是否出现症状被分为两组，涉及接受颈动脉内膜剥脱术（CEA）和经皮腔内颈动脉成形术（TCA）的患者。手术干预的患者包括无症状但颈动脉狭窄程度超过80%的患者，以及有症状且颈内动脉（ICA）腔内狭窄程度超过70%的患者，狭窄程度依据NASCET/ECST标准进行评定。
