Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- Carotid surgery prevents recurrent stroke in patients with symptomatic tight stenosis of the carotid artery. The Swedish Carotid Surgery Monitoring Registry seeks to promote selection of patients with significant spontaneous risk for recurrent stroke, with an eye toward expediting evaluation and minimizing surgical complications. To this end, professionals at participating hospitals are informed about their own patient selection and surgery risk in comparison with those in the country as a whole and with set targets. We report the results from the first two years, during which it is estimated that more than half of all patients eligible for carotid surgery in Sweden were included in the registry. Although almost all patients had recent onset of relevant neurological symptoms, less than 60% had a documented tight (80-99% occlusion) stenosis. While the final decision to operate a patient was made within 4 weeks of onset of symptoms for only 18% of the patients the first year, this proportion increased to 33% in the following year. The total incidence of surgery related stroke, myocardial infarct and death was 7.7%, while the incidence of severe stroke, myocardial infarct and death was 3.0%.
