Inga dödsfall/slaganfall efter kirurgi vid asymtomatisk karotisstenos : femårsresultat redovisat i riksstäckande register

• In the Swedish vascular registry 7473 carotid endarterectomies are registered, in 10% the indication being a symptomatic stenosis. There are great variations in indication for carotid endarterectomy within Sweden. During the last five years the combined postoperative mortality and/or postoperative permanent stroke has varied between 3% in 1999 and 1.5% in 2003. During the same period not a single patient operated on for a symptomatic carotid stenosis experienced these complications.
