Abstract

Objective: To identify the impact of age on early complications after carotid endarterectomy.

Study Design: Prospective longitudinal study

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Vascular Surgery Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi Pakistan from January 2020 to September.

Methodology: All patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy regardless of age and gender were included in study. Patients with concomitant CABG, recurrent carotid stenosis, prior neck surgery or irradiation were excluded from the study. All patients were followed till 3rd post-operative day for any complications specially designed structured proformas were used to enter patient data and outcomes.

Results: A total of 80 patients were enrolled in the study. Total complicated cases were 12(15%) out of 80. Sixty-eight (85%) patients did not develop any complications. The mean age for complicated group was 67.00±7.68 years and for uncomplicated group was 66.32±6.24 with p-value of 0.739.

Conclusion: Age is not associated with development of complications in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.
