About

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA), an important surgical approach for managing carotid plaque, has evolved over more than 70 years but still cannot be applied to all tandem carotid lesions (TCLs) because of the wide range of these lesions. Herein, the investigators introduce an innovative CEA, Gao's triple eversion CEA (GTE-CEA), for the treatment of TCLs.

Full description

The investigators retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients who underwent GTE-CEA performed by the same group of vascular surgeons since 17 September, 2021. Patients who did not meet the diagnostic criteria for carotid artery stenosis (CAS); those with asymptomatic CAS < 50%, preoperatively confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or computed tomography angiography (CTA); and those with stenosis at the opening of the common carotid artery (CCA) were excluded from our study.

Enrollment: 11 estimated patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Meet the diagnostic criteria for TCL stenosis.
• Above 70% asymptomatic CCA and ICA stenosis or > 50% symptomatic CAS confirmed by DSA or CTA before surgery

Exclusion criteria

• Did not meet the diagnostic criteria for CAS
• Asymptomatic CAS < 50% (as confirmed by DSA or CTA before surgery)
• With stenosis at the opening of the CCA.

Trial design

11 participants in 1 patient group

tandem carotid lesions

Description:

Extracranial tandem carotid lesions (TCLs) refer to two or more severe stenoses/occlusions in two or more locations in the carotid artery. TCLs are indicated for surgical intervention but are difficult to resolve by conventional carotid endarterectomy

Procedure: Gao's triple eversion carotid endarterectomy
