Table 1.2 Outcome after Transcervical Carotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) (according to Sagris etal. [23]). Meta-analysis based on 45 studies with 14,588 patients
Parameter Studies included (n) Events/patients total, n (%)
30-day mortality 44 75/14,427 (0.5) 30-day stroke (total) 41 179/13,744 (1.3) – Symptomatic patients only 10 61/3830 (1.6) 30-day TIA (total) 30 97/12,667 (0.8) – Symptomatic patients only 5 15/1953 (0.8) 30-day myocardial infarction (total) 34 65/14,173 (0.6) – Symptomatic patients only 9 10/3674 (0.3) Technical success 30 1195/1223 (99.0) Access site complications 30 288/9305 (2.0) Cranial nerve injury 21 33/8994 (0.36) Haemodynamic instability 6 1306/5183 (21.0) Bleeding 20 278/8726 (2.0)

based on 45 studies with 14,588 patients, published by May 2020 (Table1.2). The technical success rate was 99%. Cranial nerve injuries were very rare (33in 8994 patients), bleeding complications were reported at 2%. The overall periprocedural all-cause mortality and stroke rate was 0.5% and 1.3%, respectively, and the TIA rate was 0.8%. In-stent restenosis was observed in 4 of 260 patients (1.5%; 7 stud­ies), and early (30-day) reocclusion or acute thrombosis of the target lesion occurred in 12 of 1243 patients (∼1%; 11 studies). The results provided signicant evidence that TCAR is a very promising and safe carotid revascularization approach with favorable technical success rates associated with low periprocedural stroke and CN injury rates. However, the data did not allow a direct comparison with CAS and CEA; these were predominantly single-arm studies.
Another meta-analysis [24] included 18 studies, published up to September 2020, with 4852 patients. The authors reported a pooled 30-day mortality rate of
0.7%, a 30-day stroke rate of 1.4% and a stroke/TIA rate of 2%. The pooled techni­cal success rate was 97.6%. Cranial nerve injuries (10 studies) were observed in
1.2% and the early myocardial infarction rate was 0.4%. The rate of haematoma/ bleeding was 3.4% (one third of these cases required drainage or intervention). Within a follow-up of 3–40months, the restenosis rate was 4% (9 studies) and the stroke/death rate was 4.5% (5 studies). The authors reported a higher risk of early stroke/TIA for symptomatic patients than for asymptomatic patients (2.5% vs. 1.2%).
Both meta-analyses describe TCAR as a promising procedure with low rates of early death, stroke and other complications. Long-term results remain to be seen.

1.2.4.2 TCAR-Study Results
Columbo etal. [25] tested the hypothesis that TCAR may be particularly valuable in patients with challenging anatomy, such as a high carotid artery bifurcation or a carotid lesion close to the skull base, that would make traditional carotid endarter­ectomy (CEA) technically difcult. For these patients, TCAR provides a therapeu­tic alternative that may be associated with a lower risk prole than CEA.Patients captured by the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database who underwent TCAR or CEA from January 2015 were analyzed. 7664 patients (8.9%) underwent TCAR and 78,363 patients (91.1%) underwent CEA.The use of TCAR out of the total carotid revascularization procedures increased from 90 of 12,276 procedures (0.7%) in 2015 to 2718 of 15,956 procedures (17.0%) in 2019, a 24-fold increase over 5 years. Overall, the crude rate of MACE (Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events = composite stroke, myocardial infarction, death) was similar for TCAR (2.3%) and CEA (2.4%). However, over time, the rate of MACE decreased for CEA (from 2.5% to 1.9%); this was also the case with TCAR, but not signicantly (from
3.1% to 2.2%). Centres that included TCAR in their treatment spectrum showed a 10% decrease in the likelihood of MACE at 12months after TCAR adoption com­pared to centres that continued to perform CEA only. The study demonstrated that availability of TCAR at a hospital was associated with a decrease in the likelihood of perioperative MACE after carotid revascularization.
In a retrospective analysis of VQI data, Mehta etal. [26] investigated whether 80-year-old patients would benet from TCAR.Among 33,115 patients who under­went either CEA, TFCAS or TCAR for carotid artery stenosis, 21% were at least 80years old. Across all, 80-year-old patients had higher death/stroke rates com­pared to younger patients. Among octogenarians, the adjusted hazards of TCARs relative to CEAs was similar for both 30-day stroke/death (hazard ratio [HR], 1.12; 95% condence interval [CI], 0.59–2.13) and 1-year stroke/death (HR, 1.28; 95% CI, 0.85–1.94), whereas transfemoral carotid artery stenting had higher hazards of both 30-day stroke/death (HR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.10–2.89) and 1-year stroke/death (HR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.35–2.54). The authors concluded that TCARs may serve as a promising less invasive treatment for carotid disease in older patients who are deemed high anatomic, surgical, or clinical risk for CEAs.

1.3 Conclusions forClinical Practice
1. CEA is the method of choice for the treatment of asymptomatic and symptom-
atic carotid stenosis. Nevertheless, the postprocedural outcomes after CEA and CAS suggest that improvements in the periprocedural safety of CAS may pro­vide similar outcomes of both procedures in the future.
1.4 Perioperative Management
https://t.me/medicina_free
2. All patients should take acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, 100 mg) before and after
CEA, continuous treatment with ASA should not be interrupted. All patients should take a statin before and after CEA, continuous therapy with statins should not be interrupted. Dual antiplatelet therapy with ASA (100mg) and clopidogrel (75mg) should precede CAS.Dual antiplatelet therapy should be maintained for at least 1 month.
3. CEA should be performed as early as possible (within 3–14 days) after the
index event.
4. The choice of surgical procedure (eversion CEA, conventional CEA with patch-
plasty) should be made depending on the personal experience of the operating surgeon and the lesion’s anatomy.
5. Patchplasty should always be used for conventional CEA.There is insufcient
evidence for the routine (obligatory) insertion of a shunt during surgical carotid reconstruction. Intraoperative neuromonitoring should be considered for CEA under general anaesthesia.
6. Transcarotid arterial revascularisation (TCAR) is a promising procedure with
low rates of early death, stroke and other complications. Long-term results remain to be seen. However, the data do not yet allow a direct comparison with CAS and CEA; the reports are predominantly single-arm studies.

1.4.1 Imaging Strategies inCarotid Artery Disease
1.4.1.1 European Society forVascular Surgery (ESVS) [1]
Recommendation 1: For patients undergoing evaluation of the extent and severity of extracranial carotid stenoses, duplex ultrasound, computed tomographic angiogra­phy and/or magnetic resonance angiography are recommended. (Class I; Level B).
Recommendation 2: For patients where carotid endarterectomy is being consid­ered, it is recommended that duplex ultrasound stenosis estimation be corroborated by computed tomographic angiography or magnetic resonance angiography, or by a repeat duplex ultrasound performed by a second operator. (Class I; Level B).
Recommendation 3: For a patient where carotid artery stenting is being consid­ered, it is recommended that any duplex ultrasound study be followed by computed tomographic angiography or magnetic resonance angiography, which will provide additional information on the aortic arch, as well as the extra- and intracranial cir­culation. (Class I; Level B).

1.4.2 Anaesthesia
1.4.2.1 European Society forVascular Surgery (ESVS) [1]
Recommendation 65: In patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, decisions regarding choice of anaesthesia (locoregional, general) should be considered at the discretion of the surgeon/anaesthetist performing the procedure, taking account of local experience, patient preference, and preferred antiplatelet strategy. (Class IIA/ Level B).
1.4.2.2 Studies
Harky et al. [27] published a meta-analysis comparing general (GA) and local anaesthesia (LA) for CEA. 31 studies (including 6 randomised controlled trials (RCT)) with a total of 152,376 patients were analysed. LA was associated with shorter operative time (mean difference − 9.15 min; p = 0.005), less strokes (OR=0.76; 95% CI =0.59–0.92; p=0.006), cardiac complications (OR=0.59; 95% CI=0.47–0.73; p<0.00001) and lower in-hospital mortality (OR=0.72; 95% CI = 0.59–0.9; p = 0.003). Transient neurological decits occurred with similar frequency in both groups. In a subgroup analysis, only the randomised controlled trials were assessed. The number of patients included there was relatively small (total n=3956). There was no signicant difference between LA and general anaes­thesia for CEA.In summary, this meta-analysis showed a slight superiority of LA over general anaesthesia when evaluating the non-randomised (larger) data set, while the randomised trials did not show any differences. Anaesthetic choice in CEA therefore depends on the experience of the anaesthetist and surgeon and on the patient’s preferences.

1.4.4 Beta-Blocker Perioperative
1.4.4.1 European Society ofCardiology (ESC) andtheEuropean Society
ofAnaesthesiology (ESA)- Guideline [30]
In this guideline, CEA and CAS are designated as low perioperative risk procedures in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis; in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis, CEA and CAS are assigned to the moderate perioperative risk category. For these categories, the following recommendations apply with regard to the man­agement of perioperative medication with beta-blockers:
• Perioperative continuation of beta-blockers is recommended in patients currently
receiving this medication.
• Preoperative initiation of beta-blockers may be considered in patients scheduled
for high-risk surgery and who have ≥2 clinical risk factors or ASA status ≥3 [this
does not include CAS and CEA].
• Preoperative initiation of beta-blockers may be considered in patients who have
known ischaemic heart disease or myocardial ischaemia.
• Preoperative initiation of treatment with beta-blockers is not recommended in
patients scheduled for low-risk surgery [this would generally be CEA and CAS
in asymptomatic carotid stenosis].
1.4.5 Blood Pressure Management After Carotid Intervention
1.4.5.1 ESVS-Guideline [1]
• Recommendation 38: For patients presenting with a transient ischaemic attack or
minor ischaemic stroke with hypertension, antihypertensive treatment is recom-
mended. (Recommendation class I, evidence level A).
• Recommendation 39: For symptomatic carotid stenosis patients awaiting endar-
terectomy or stenting, caution should be considered when rapidly lowering blood
20

pressure in the early time period after onset of symptoms, but uncontrolled
hypertension (>180/90mmHg) should be treated. (Recommendation class IIa,
evidence level C).
• Recommendation 94: For patients with post-carotid hypotension, administration
of intravenous crystalloids and volume expanders should be considered as rst
line treatment. If this fails to improve blood pressure, titrated intravenous vaso-
pressors should be considered to maintain systolic blood pressure>90mmHg.
(Recommendation class IIa, evidence level C).
• Recommendation 95: For patients undergoing carotid interventions, regular
blood pressure monitoring is recommended for the rst 3–6h after carotid end-
arterectomy, as well as in carotid stent patients who develop haemodynamic
instability during the procedure. (Recommendation class I, evidence level C).
• Recommendation 96: For carotid stenting patients who develop haemodynamic
instability during the procedure, regular blood pressure monitoring is recom-
mended for the rst 24h after carotid revascularisation. (Recommendation class
I, evidence level C).
• Recommendation 97: In centres performing carotid interventions, it is recom-
mended that they have written criteria for treating post-procedural hypertension.
(Recommendation class I, evidence level C).
1.4.5.2 Studies
A review by Vanpeteghem etal. [31] is available on perioperative haemodynamic management in carotid surgery. According to this, severe postoperative hyperten­sion is dened by a systolic blood pressure of at least 180mmHg. In these cases, invasive blood pressure monitoring is recommended with the aim of keeping the systolic blood pressure below 160mmHg. The antihypertensive agents commonly used in carotid surgery are listed in Table1.3.

The extent to which low-dose dexmedetomidine can contribute to hemodynamic stability during the emergence and the recovery phases of general anesthesia in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy was evaluated by Tsujikawa and Ikeshita [32] in a double-blind randomised placebo-controlled trial. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist that is signicantly more specic than clonidine. Dexmedetomidine decreases the release of noradrena­line. In this study, patients in the therapy group received dexmedetomidine intraop­eratively and in the rst 3h after surgery, which resulted in signicantly less use of nicardipine for blood pressure regulation compared to the control group. The use of dexmedetomidine facilitates blood pressure management in the immediate postop­erative period after CEA under general anaesthesia.
1.4.5.3 Hyperperfusion Syndrome
Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a preventable cause of perioperative stroke after CEA [33]. It typically develops in the rst postoperative week, with a peak on day 6 after CEA and after 12h in CAS.Cerebral hyperperfusion is dened as an increase in blood ow velocity in the middle cerebral artery >100% compared to the preoperative baseline [31]. Bouri etal. [33] proposed the following denition for CHS:
1. Occurrence within 30days after CEA.
2. Evidence of hyperperfusion (on transcranial Doppler [TCD], single photon
emission computed tomography [SPECT] or CT/MR perfusion imaging), or sys­tolic blood pressure>180mmHg.
3. Clinical features such as new headache, seizure, hemiparesis, Glasgow Coma
Scale (GCS)<15 or radiological features such as cerebral oedema or intracere­bral haemorrhage: and
4. No evidence of new cerebral ischaemia, postoperative carotid occlusion and
metabolic or pharmacologic cause.
21
Therapy consists of lowering the blood pressure to systolic <140mmHg or higher when symptoms disappear. Patients should be admitted to a monitoring unit. Another consequence is that patients be not discharged with severe hypertension or a systolic blood pressure that is rising.
1.4.6 Perioperative Management ofPatients
withAnticoagulants
1.4.6.1 European Society ofCardiology (ESC) andtheEuropean Society
ofAnaesthesiology (ESA)- Guideline [30]
Patients treated with oral anticoagulant therapy using vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) are subject to an increased risk of peri-and post-procedural bleeding. If the interna­tional normalized ratio (INR) is ≤1.5, surgery can be performed safely; however, in
22

anticoagulated patients with a high risk of thrombo-embolism—for example, patients with:
• Atrial brillation with a CHA2DS2-VASc [Cardiac failure, Hypertension,
Age≥75 (Doubled), Diabetes, Stroke (Doubled)—Vascular disease, Age 65–74
and Sex category (Female) score of ≥4] or
• mechanical prosthetic heart valves, newly inserted biological prosthetic heart
valves, or
• mitral valvular repair (within the past 3months) or
• recent venous thrombo-embolism (within 3months) or
• thrombophilia,
discontinuation of VKAs is hazardous and these patients will need bridging therapy with unfractionated heparin (UFH) or therapeutic-dose LMWH.In gen­eral, there is better evidence for the efcacy and safety of LMWH compared to UFH.LMWH is usually administered subcutaneously and weight-adjusted, once or twice daily, without laboratory monitoring. Therapeutic doses (LMWH twice daily) are recommended for patients at high risk of thromboembolism (TE), and prophylactic once-daily doses in low-risk patients. The last dose of LMWH should be administered no later than 12h before the procedure. Further dose adjustment is necessary in patients with moderate- to-high kidney function impairment. It is recommended that VKA treatment be stopped 3–5days before surgery (depending on the type of VKA), with daily INR measurements, until <1.5 is reached, and that LMWH or UFH be started 1 day after discontinuation of VKA—or later, as soon as the INR is <2.0.
VKA treatment should be resumed on day 1 or 2 after surgery—depending on adequate haemostasis—with the preoperative maintenance dose plus a boosting dose of 50% for two consecutive days; the maintenance dose should be adminis­trated thereafter. LMWH or UFH should be continued until the INR returns to therapeutic levels.
• In patients treated with the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) dabigatran, riva­roxaban, apixaban or edoxaban, bridging is unnecessary in most cases due to their short biological half-lives. An exception to this rule is the patient with high thromboembolic risk, whose surgical intervention is delayed for several days. The overall recommendation is to stop DOACs for 2–3 times their respective biological half-lives prior to surgery in surgical interventions with ‘normal’ bleeding risk, and 4–5 times the biological half-lives before surgery in surgical interventions with high bleeding risk.
Because of the fast ‘on’-effect of DOACs (in comparison with VKAs), resumption of treatment after surgery should be delayed for 1–2 (in some cases 3–5) days, until post-surgical bleeding tendency is diminished.

1.4.7 Intraoperative Heparin andReversal
Guideline recommendations on intraoperative anticoagulation are lacking, but in the European Carotid Surgery Trial [34], the only surgical technique associated with a signicant increase in stroke/death was that in which no intraoperative anticoagu­lation was given. Consequently, most surgeons routinely give intravenous unfrac­tionated heparin before clamping the artery, but there is no consensus on dosage. Some titrate the dosage based on the activated coagulation time (ACT), others use a standard dose of 3000 to 5000 I.U.Evidence to favour either method is not avail­able [35].
The question is whether heparin should be reversed with protamine at the end of
the procedure. The ESVS guidelines [1] recommend:
• Recommendation 69: For patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, protamine reversal of heparin should be considered. (Recommendation class IIa, evidence level B).
The reduced risk of bleeding after protamine administration must be consid­ered against a possible increased rate of thrombotic complications. A meta-anal­ysis of 12 observational studies with 10,621 patients is available [36]. According to this analysis, surgeons should consider the use of protamine routinely in CEA to reduce the risk of bleeding. Protamine did not lead to an increased rate of thrombotic complications, including stroke, myocardial infarction or death.
The results of this meta-analysis were conrmed by a review of a prospective national registry (Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative) of 72,787 patients undergoing elective asymptomatic CEA by 1879 surgeons from 316 centres in the USA and Canada from 2012 to 2018 [37]. 69% of patients received protamine, while 31% did not, with protamine administration increas­ing over time, to a nal 73% of patients. This study documented the safety and efcacy of using protamine sulphate to reverse intra-operative heparin at the time of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) using a large national analysis. The work dem­onstrated a 50% reduction in reoperation for bleeding events with no attendant increased risk of stroke, myocardial infarction or death in patients who received protamine. Furthermore, this analysis highlighted the precarious nature of opera­tive re-exploration for bleeding in patients who did not receive protamine with substantially increased rates of thrombotic complications. Based on this analysis, surgeons should strongly consider using protamine at the time of CEA to opti­mise surgical outcomes. The authors identied heparin reversal with protamine as a quality indicator in CEA.

1.4.8 Prevention ofVenous Thromboembolism
There are no clear guideline recommendations on perioperative prevention of venous thromboembolism with CEA, perhaps due to the rarity of the events. In an analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database (45,548 vascular procedures, including 20,785 CEA), the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after CEA was the lowest of all vascular procedures at
0.2% [38]. The authors explained the low rate of VTE after CEA by the fact that these patients are able to ambulate early after their operation, in contrast to other vascular procedures, highlighting the importance of early ambulation for reduction of VTE risk. Other factors that contribute to the low incidence of VTE after CEA could be the relatively short duration of surgery and the aggressive antiplatelet strat­egies. Accordingly, the authors did not comment on the need for VTE prophylaxis in CEA and referred to the recommendations of the American College of Chest Physicians on VTE prophylaxis in non-orthopaedic surgical patients [39]. There, the risk of VTE for CEA is also given as only 0.2% and it is stated:
• Among patients with a very low risk of symptomatic VTE (0.5%), there is moderate- quality evidence that the harms of pharmacologic prophylaxis with low-dose unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) out­weigh the benets. Compared with no prophylaxis, one can expect zero to three fewer nonfatal VTE events and four to 10 more nonfatal major bleeding compli­cations per 1000 patients treated with unfractionated heparin. Trade-offs are similar for LMWH and no prophylaxis.
• For patients at very low risk for VTE (< 0.5%) we recommend that no specic pharmacologic (Grade 1B) or mechanical (Grade 2C) prophylaxis be used other than early ambulation.
Consequently, according to this guideline, prevention of VTE is not neces-
sary in CEA.
1.4.9 Antiplatelet Therapy withCEA/CAS
1.4.9.1 European Society forVascular Surgery (ESVS) [1]
• Recommendation 9: For patients with >50% asymptomatic carotid stenosis, lower dose aspirin (75–325mg daily) should be considered, mainly for the pre­vention of late myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular events. (Class IIA; Level C).
• Recommendation 10: For patients with >50% asymptomatic carotid stenosis who are intolerant or allergic to aspirin, clopidogrel 75mg daily should be con­sidered. If intolerant or allergic to both aspirin and clopidogrel, dipyridamole monotherapy (200mg twice daily) should be considered. (Class IIA; Level C).
