The significance of early postoperative duplex studies following carotid endarterectomy

This study was conducted to evaluate the significance of duplex ultrasound performed soon after carotid endarterectomy. The records of patients with 150 carotid endarterectomies and postoperative duplex ultrasound within 24 h were reviewed. Eleven (7.3%) had abnormal studies with ≥50% stenosis. Two...

Zusammenfassung:	This study was conducted to evaluate the significance of duplex ultrasound performed soon after carotid endarterectomy. The records of patients with 150 carotid endarterectomies and postoperative duplex ultrasound within 24 h were reviewed. Eleven (7.3%) had abnormal studies with ≥50% stenosis. Two patients with abnormal studies sustained a perioperative stroke and three patients underwent reoperation for persistent lesions ( P
