Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy may suffer from neurologic deficits (ND) during the carotid cross-clamping due to cerebral hypoperfusion. An associated risk of postoperative stroke incidence is also well established.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive factors associated with ND during CEA performed with RA. The perioperative implications of the ND were also evaluated.
