Combined Endovascular and Surgical Treatment of Chronic Carotid Artery Occlusion: Hybrid Operation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The optimal treatment choice of chronic carotid artery occlusion (CAO) remains inconclusive. This study was aimed at exploring the safety and effectiveness of hybrid surgery in the treatment of CAO and at determining predictors for successful recanalization.

Methods

In this study, we enrolled 37 patients with CAO who underwent hybrid surgical treatment during the period 2016-2018. We extracted and analyzed patients' demographic data, disease characteristics, surgical success rates, perioperative complications, and prognosis.

Results

A total of 37 patients with symptomatic CAO underwent hybrid surgical treatment. Thirty cases (81.1%) were successfully recanalized, while seven were not. Blood reflux after carotid endarterectomy occurred in 18 patients (60%) o
