Abstract

A best evidence topic has been constructed using a described protocol. The three-part question addressed was: In carotid surgery, Does the eversion technique (ECEA) has an early postoperative lower stroke rate, As compared to conventional carotid endarterectomy (CCEA)? The outcome assessed was the stroke rate in the early potoperative period (30 days) in the two techniques. The best evidence confirmed that there is no statistically significant difference between ECEA and CCEA regarding the early postoperative stroke incidence.

Keywords: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA); Conventional carotid endarterectomy (CCEA); Eversion carotid endarterectomy (ECEA); Stroke; Transient Ischaemic attacks (TIA).
