Effect of regional versus general anesthesia on thirty-day outcomes following carotid endarterectomy: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effect of regional versus general anesthesia on carotid endarterectomy outcomes is debated. This study assesses the effect of anesthetic technique on major morbidity and mortality and additional secondary endpoints following carotid endarterectomy.

Materials and methods

This was a retrospective propensity-matched-cohort analysis investigating elective carotid endarterectomy patients in the 2015-2019 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program ( n =37 204).
