Abstract

Purpose: The arm of this study is evaluating preliminary results of endarterectomy to treat atherosclerosis internal carotid artery stenosis at Viet Duc University Hospital during the period 2018–2022. Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study of preoperative characteristics, techniques, and early results of internal carotid endarterectomy at Viet Duc Hospital in the period 2018–2022. Results: There were 36 patients included in this study, with 32 males and 4 females. The average age was 66.6 ± 6.9 years. Symptoms were present in 55.6% of patients. The eversion technique was used in 69.4% of patients, and the longitudinal arteriotomy was used in 30.6% of patients. There were no cases of bleeding (0%) that required reoperation. One patient had hoarseness, swallowing (2.8%) after surgery. There was no death or reoperation during the hospital stay. One patient died after 30 days of discharge (2.8%). Conclusion: Carotid endarterectomy at Viet Duc University Hospital is a safe and effective procedure to treat atherosclerosis carotid stenosis.
