Ann Vasc Surg 2024; 108:393-402. [PMID: 39019257 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2024.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a well-established standard therapy for patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis. The aim of carotid endarterectomy is to decrease the risk of stroke and avoid relevant functional loss. However, carotid endarterectomy is known to be associated with hemodynamic dysregulation. In this study we compared eversion CEA (E-CEA) and conventional CEA (C-CEA) regarding postoperative blood pressure values as well as preoperative and postoperative baroreceptor sensitivity in the first 7 days after surgery. The aim was to find possible factors influencing changes in baroreceptor sensitivity. METHODS Patients (111 patients were enrolled, of which 50 patients received C-CEA and 61 patients E-CEA) were prospectively enrolled in this study. For the measurement of baroreceptor sensitivity, a noninvasive Finometer measuring device from Finapres Medical System B.V. (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) was used. Measurements were performed 1 day before surgery (PRE), directly after surgery (F1), on day 1 (F2), day 2 (F3), and on day 7 (F4) postoperatively. RESULTS Postoperative blood pressure values were significantly higher in the E-CEA group on the day of surgery (F1) (P < 0.001) and on day 1 (F2) (P < 0.001). From day 2 (F3, F4) postoperatively, no significant difference was found between the 2 groups. The invasive blood pressure measurement in the postoperative recovery room showed significantly higher systolic blood pressure values in the E-CEA group (P = 0.001). The need of acute antihypertensive therapy was significantly higher in the recovery room in the E-CEA group (P = 0.020). With regard to changes in baroreceptor sensitivity, significantly lower baroreceptor sensitivity (BRS) values were recorded in the E-CEA group at 1 day (F2) postoperatively (P = 0.005). The regression analysis showed that the applied surgical technique and the patient's age were significant factors influencing changes in baroreceptor sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS In this study we could confirm higher blood pressure levels after E-CEA in the first 2 days after surgery. Additionally, we identified 22 factors possibly influencing baroreceptor sensitivity: surgical technique and age. Based on the data obtained in this study, hemodynamic dysregulation after CEA (E-CEA, C-CEA) is temporary and short-term. Already after the second postoperative day, there was no significant difference between the E-CEA and E-CEA groups, this effect remained stable after 7 days.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In order to systematically review the latest evidence on anesthesia, intraoperative neurologic monitoring, postoperative heparin reversal, and postoperative blood pressure management for carotid endarterectomy. The present review is based on a single chapter of the Italian Health Institute Guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of extracranial carotid stenosis and stroke prevention. METHODS AND RESULTS A systematic article review focused on the previously cited topics published between January 2016 and October 2020 has been performed; we looked for both primary and secondary studies in the extensive archive of Medline/PubMed and Cochrane library databases. We selected 14 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, 13 randomized controlled trials, 8 observational studies, and 1 narrative review. Based on this analysis, syntheses of the available evidence were shared and recommendations were indicated complying with the GRADE-SIGN version methodology. CONCLUSIONS From this up-to-date analysis, it has emerged that any type of anesthesia and neurological monitoring method is related to a better outcome after carotid endarterectomy. In addition, insufficient evidence was found to justify reversal or no-reversal of heparin at the end of surgery. Furthermore, despite a low evidence level, a suggestion for blood pressure monitoring in the postoperative period was formulated.

Abstract
Acute perioperative changes in arterial pressure occur frequently, particularly in patients with cardiovascular disease or those receiving vasoactive medications, or in relation to certain cardiovascular surgical procedures. Hemodynamic Instability (HI) are common in patients undergoing carotid revascularization because of unique patho-physiological and surgical factors. The operation, by necessity, disrupts the afferent pathway of the baroreflex, which can lead to postendarterectomy HI. Poor arterial pressure control is associated with increased morbidity and mortality after carotid revascularization, but good control of arterial pressure is often difficult to achieve in practice. The incidence, implications, and etiology of HI associated with carotid surgery are reviewed, and some recommendations made for its management. Close monitoring and titration of therapy are probably the most important considerations rather than specific choice of agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Blood pressure (BP) management is a vital aspect of stroke prevention and post-stroke care. Different surgical carotid endarterectomy (CEA) techniques may impact on BP control post-operatively. Specifically, the carotid sinus nerve, which innervates the carotid baroreceptors and carotid body, is commonly left intact during conventional CEA but is routinely transected as part of eversion CEA. The aim of this study was to assess long term BP control after eversion and conventional CEA. METHODS Patients from the International Carotid Stenting Study (ICSS cohort) and a personal series of patients from the Stroke Clinical Trials Unit at University College London (UCL cohort) were separately analysed and divided into eversion and conventional CEA groups. Mixed effect linear models were fitted and adjusted for baseline demographic data and antihypertensive treatment to test for changes in BP from baseline over a three year follow up period after the respective procedures. RESULTS There were no differences in changes in baseline BP readings and follow up readings between eversion and conventional CEA in the ICSS or UCL cohorts. In the ICSS cohort a mild but significant systolic (-8.6 mmHg; 95% confidence interval [CI] -10.6 - -6.6) and diastolic (-4.9 mmHg; 95% CI -6.0 - -3.8) BP lowering effect was evident at discharge in the conventional group but not in the eversion CEA group. BP monitoring during follow up did not reveal any consistent BP changes with either conventional or eversion CEA vs. baseline levels. CONCLUSION Neither conventional nor eversion CEA seem to result in clinically significant long term BP changes. Potential concerns related to either short or long term alterations in BP levels with transection of the carotid sinus nerve during eversion CEA could not be substantiated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post carotid blood pressure fluctuation and hypertension (PEH) are associated with increased risk for adverse outcome; there is limited evidence on the impact of eversion endarterectomy (E-CEA) versus conventional endarterectomy with patch closure (C-CEA) on postoperative blood pressure course. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective observational study, 859 consecutive carotid endarterectomy procedures between 2004 and 2014 (C-CEA n = 585 vs. E-CEA n = 274), were evaluated. Pre- and postoperative blood pressure values were recorded from recovery room until third postoperative day and compared between both techniques; influences on the dichotomous target variable "at least one postoperative blood pressure peak", that is need for postoperative vasodilators, were analyzed by a logistic regression model. Influences on postoperative systolic blood pressure were evaluated by a linear mixed effects regression model. RESULTS Preoperative baseline blood pressure was not different between both comparison groups. During postoperative course, significantly increased mean systolic blood pressure values in the E-CEA group from recovery room to second postoperative day (recovery room C-CEA: 129.2 mm Hg vs. E-CEA: 136.5 mm Hg; P < 0.001; first postoperative day C-CEA: 132.4 mm Hg vs. E-CEA: 139.3 mm Hg; P = 0.0002; second postoperative day C-CEA: 138.6 mm Hg vs. E-CEA: 143.1 mm Hg; P = 0.023) were observed. No hyperperfusion syndrome was detected as wells as no difference in postoperative complication rate. Frequency of antihypertensive interventions was also elevated in E-CEA group (C-CEA 22.1 % vs. E-CEA 31.8 %; P = 0.003). E-CEA (OR 1.591, 95% CI [1.146; 2.202]; P = 0.005) and presence of preoperatively elevated systolic readings (OR 1.015, 95%CI [1.006;1.024]; P < 0.001) was also associated with increased need for antihypertensive interventions. CONCLUSION E-CEA was associated with significantly elevated postoperative blood pressure, compared to C-CEA. C-CEA was associated with postoperative blood pressure decrease; however, no difference as to neurologic and surgical complications was detected between both surgical techniques in clinical practice.

Abstract
Over the last 60 years, many reports have investigated carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and techniques have thus changed and improved. In this paper, we review the recent literature regarding operational maneuvers for CEA and discuss future problems for CEA. Longitudinal skin incision is common, but the transverse incision has been reported to offer minimal invasiveness and better cosmetic effects for CEA. Most surgeons currently use microscopy for dissection of the artery and plaque. Although no monitoring technique during CEA has been proven superior, multiple monitors offer better sensitivity for predicting postoperative neurological deficit. To date, data are lacking regarding whether routine shunt or selective shunt is better. Individual surgeons thus need to select the method with which they are more comfortable. Many surgical techniques have been reported to obtain distal control of the internal carotid artery in patients with high cervical carotid bifurcation or high plaque, and minimally invasive techniques should be considered. Multiple studies have shown that patch angioplasty reduces the risks of stroke and restenosis compared with primary closure, but few surgeons in Japan have been performing patch angioplasty. Most surgeons thus experience only a small volume of CEAs in Japan, so training programs and development of in vivo training models are important.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Post-carotid endarterectomy hypertension is a well-recognized phenomenon closely related to surgical complications. This study aimed to determine whether different kinds of perioperative antihypertensive drugs had a protective effect on post-carotid endarterectomy hypertension and influence on intraoperative hemodynamics. METHOD We retrospectively investigated 102 carotid stenosis patients who underwent conventional endarterectomy with a perioperative baseline antihypertensive regimen. Post-carotid endarterectomy hypertension was defined as a postoperative peak systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg and/or a requirement for any additional antihypertensive therapies. We compared the clinical characteristics and types of baseline perioperative antihypertensive drugs between patients with and without post-carotid endarterectomy hypertension and then determined the significant independent effect of antihypertensive drugs on post-carotid endarterectomy hypertension through multivariate regression and detected their influence on intraoperative hypertension (induction-related systolic blood pressure and vasodilators consumption) and hemodynamic depression (intra-arterial systolic blood pressure ≤100 mmHg and/or heart rate ≤50 beats/min). We also investigated adverse events such as stroke, death, myocardial infarction, and cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome during the postoperative hospitalization. RESULTS A total of 52/102 (51.0%) patients were defined as having post-carotid endarterectomy hypertension during the first three days postoperative, including eight patients with a postoperative systolic blood pressure that exceeded 160 mmHg at least once, 31 patients requiring postoperative antihypertensive treatment in addition to their baseline regimen, and 13 patients with both. The incidence of stroke/death/myocardial infarction and cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after conventional endarterectomy during hospitalization were both 1.9%. A significantly increased risk of composite postoperative complications (including cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome, hyperperfusion-related symptoms, transient ischemic attacks, stroke, death, and cardiac complications) was observed in patients with post-carotid endarterectomy hypertension than without (15.4% versus 2.0%, p = 0.032). Patients free of post-carotid endarterectomy hypertension had a higher incidence of perioperative baseline β-blocker use than patients who suffered from post-carotid endarterectomy hypertension (46.0% versus 21%, p = 0.008). In multivariate analysis, β-blocker use was a significant independent protective factor for post-carotid endarterectomy hypertension (OR = 0.356, 95% CI: 0.146-0.886, p = 0.028). Patients taking β-blockers had a lower postoperative peak systolic blood pressure than the β-blocker-naïve population (137.1 ± 12.1 mmHg versus 145.0 ± 11.2 mmHg, p = 0.008), but the postoperative mean systolic blood pressure showed no intergroup difference. However, the incidence of hemodynamic depression during conventional endarterectomy was higher in patients with perioperative β-blocker use than in those without (44.1% versus 25.0%, p = 0.050). The difference in intraoperative hemodynamic depression became more prominent between the β-blocker and non-β-blocker groups (81.8% versus 33.3%, p = 0.014) for whose preoperative baseline heart rate was equal to or lower than 70 beats/min. CONCLUSION The perioperative use of β-blockers is a protective factor for post-carotid endarterectomy hypertension and contributes to stabilizing the postoperative peak systolic blood pressure three days after conventional endarterectomy. However, β-blockers might also lead to intraoperative hemodynamic depression, especially for patients with a low baseline heart rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to establish and validate a machine learning-based model for the prediction of early phase postoperative hypertension (EPOH) requiring the administration of intravenous vasodilators after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). METHODS Perioperative data from consecutive CEA procedures performed from January 2013 to August 2019 were retrospectively collected. EPOH was defined in post-CEA patients as hypertension involving a systolic blood pressure above 160 mm Hg and requiring the administration of any intravenous vasodilator medications in the first 24 hr after a return to the vascular ward. Gradient boosted regression trees were used to construct the predictive model, and the featured importance scores were generated by using each feature's contribution to each tree in the model. To evaluate the model performance, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used as the main metric. Four-fold stratified cross-validation was performed on the data set, and the average performance of the 4 folds was reported as the final model performance. RESULTS A total of 406 CEA operations were performed under general anesthesia. Fifty-three patients (13.1%) met the definition of EPOH. There was no significant difference in the percentage of postoperative stroke/death between patients with and without EPOH during the hospital stay. Patients with EPOH exhibited a higher incidence of postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (7.5% vs. 0, P < 0.001), as well as a higher incidence of cerebral hemorrhage (3.8% vs. 0, P < 0.001). The gradient boosted regression trees prediction model achieved an average AUC of 0.77 (95% CI 0.62 to 0.92). When the sensitivity was fixed near 0.90, the model achieved an average specificity of 0.52 (95% CI 0.28 to 0.75). CONCLUSIONS We have built the first-ever machine learning-based prediction model for EPOH after CEA. The validation result from our single-center database was very promising. This novel prediction model has the potential to help vascular surgeons identify high-risk patients and reduce related complications more efficiently.

[PMID: 30545718 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2018.11.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2018] [Revised: 11/05/2018] [Accepted: 11/10/2018] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objectives of our research were to identify whether the new method of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with autoarterial remodeling of bifurcation of the common carotid artery (ARBCCA) influences daily parameters of blood pressure and heart rate (HR) while monitoring them on a daily basis and to assess the efficacy of the suggested method. MATERIALS AND METHODS It is a prospective randomized comparative study. The first group (n = 100) included patients that underwent ARBCCA, the second group (n = 100) included patients that underwent "classic" CEA with xenopericardial patch closure. Diurnal Holter recording of blood pressure and (HR) was performed before and after the surgical treatment in both groups. RESULTS Surgical treatment in both groups leads to an increase of HR, arterial hypertension time index by systolic blood pressure, and arterial hypertension time index by diastolic arterial blood pressure. The damage of carotid artery bulb increases sympathetic innervation and causes dysregulation of the baroreceptor mechanism. CONCLUSIONS In our study, we did not reveal a significant difference in the incidence of postoperative hypertension and the dependence of HR on the choice of surgical technique. Thus, the proposed ARBCCA method does not lead to an increased risk of pre-existing arterial hypertension development. A significant difference is found out on the parameter of the clamping time of carotid arteries in favor to ARBCCA group. Another advantage of the suggested technique is the number of restenosis greater than 50% during the 2-year follow-up (4 [4%] cases (ARBCCA group) versus 12 [12%] cases ["classic" CEA], respectively, P = .037).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare early and long-term results of eversion carotid endarterectomy (e-CEA) and patch carotid endarterectomy (p-CEA). MATERIAL AND METHODS In a retrospective study, we collected data on 441 patients who underwent CEA (e-CEA=211 vs. p-CEA=230) between October 2009 and October 2015 at our institute. Economic costs, postoperative hospital days, use of shunts and antibiotics, early (30-day) complications, long-term restenosis, and mortality rates were compared between groups during 4 to 76 months of follow-up. RESULTS Patients in the p-CEA group had a significantly higher percentage of antibiotic use (58.3% vs. 27%, respectively; P0.05). Long-term complication, including stroke or heart attack, recurrent stenosis rate, and mortality rate, showed no difference between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis shows that the recurrent stenosis-free and survival rates were not significantly different between the 2 groups (P=0.867, P=0.177, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The adverse event rates of perioperative and long-term follow-up showed no significant difference between the e-CEA and p-CEA groups. Both e-CEA and p-CEA are effective for carotid artery stenosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative blood pressure alterations after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) are associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE To outline the influence of the two commonly used surgical reconstruction techniques, conventional CEA with patch plasty (C-CEA) and eversion CEA (E-CEA), as well as the innovative carotid sinus-preserving eversion CEA (SP-E-CEA) technique on postoperative hemodynamics, taking the current scientific knowledge into consideration. METHODS Assessment of the current clinical and scientific evidence on each operative technique found in the PubMed (NLM) database ranging from 1974 to 2017, excluding case reports. RESULTS A total of 34 relevant papers as well as 1 meta-analysis, which scientifically dealt with the described topic were identified. The results of the studies and the meta-analysis showed that E‑CEA correlates with an impairment of local baroreceptor functions as well as with an elevated need for vasodilators in the early postoperative phase, whereas C‑CEA and SP-E-CEA seem to have a more favorable effect on the postoperative blood pressure. CONCLUSION The CEA technique influences the postoperative blood pressure regulation, irrespective of the operative technique used. Accordingly, close blood pressure monitoring is recommended at least during the postoperative hospital stay. Further studies are mandatory to evaluate the importance of SP-E-CEA as an alternative to the classical E‑CEA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Baroreceptor dysfunction and reflex failure may occur after surgery affecting the carotid artery. The implications for patients undergoing treatment for head and neck cancer are not well described. METHODS A literature search of PubMed was performed between March 2016 and May 2016. Search terms used individually and in combination included: "baroreflex failure," "carotid sinus sensitivity," "carotid endarterectomy," "carotid body tumor," and "head and neck cancer." Bibliographies of included articles were also reviewed for additional pertinent articles. RESULTS There is evidence of baroreceptor failure in certain patients after interventions associated with the carotid artery, including carotid endarterectomy and carotid body tumor excision. Few studies have been performed investigating the potential effect of head and neck surgery treatment, including surgery and/or radiation, on baroreflex function. CONCLUSION Head and neck cancer treatment has the potential to cause baroreflex failure, and this is likely an underrecognized and underdiagnosed condition.
