Let’s discuss also some technical aspects of carotid artery stenting in this population. The following video from the ESVS Month will summarize nicely all-important technical steps when performing transfemoral CAS.
Beside this, the new technology of transcervical carotid revascularisation (TCAR) has emerged during the last couple of years with promissing results when compared to CEA and transfemoral CAS. The following video will describe all important technical details of TCAR.
Summary
This patient underwent a conventional CEA with bovine patch plasty under general anaesthesia using motor and somatosensory evoked potentials. The intraoperative course was uneventful, there were no major disturbances in MEP and SSEP values during CEA and the operating surgeon therefore decided not to use shunting. The patient was thereafter transferred to the ICU for further recovery.
