title: [Risk factors of stroke in carotid endarterectomy].
abstract: In order to find risk factors of carotid endarterectomy related stroke (CERS), 102 consecutive carotid endarterectomies, performed within two years on 95 patients were analyzed. Age, sex, diabetes, smoking, hypertension, degree of the operated and non operated carotid stenosis, previous neurological symptoms, anesthesia, protamine, cerebral monitoring, shunt, patch, post op. hypertensive crisis and clamping time were compared with the incidence of CERS. Four patients had major neurological deficits, two of which were fatal (3.92%). Six patients had minor transitory neurological deficit (5.8%). The use of patch and a long clamping time were the only identifiable statistically significant factors (p = 0.016 and p = 0.0053 respectively) that increase the odds of a CERS.
