Purpose: Several studies have reported that carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with patch angioplasty has results that are superior to primary closure. Poly-tetra-fluoroethylene (PTFE) patching has been shown to have results comparable with autogenous vein patching; however, it requires a prolonged hemostasis time. Therefore, many surgeons are using collagen- impregnated Dacron patching (Hemashield [HP]). This study is the first prospective randomized trial comparing CEA with PTFE patching versus HP patching.Methods: Two hundred CEAs were randomized into two groups, 100 PTFE and 100 HP patching. All patients underwent immediate postoperative and 1-month postoperative color duplex ultrasound scanning studies. Demographic and clinical characteristics were similar in both groups, including the mean operative diameter of the internal carotid artery.Results: The perioperative stroke rates were 0% for PTFE, versus 7% for HP (4 major and 3 minor strokes, P = .02). The combined perioperative stroke and transient ischemic attack rates were 3% for PTFE, versus 12% for HP (P = .047). The operative mortality rate for PTFE was 0%, versus 2% for HP (P = .477). Five perioperative carotid thromboses were noted in patients undergoing HP patching, versus none in patients undergoing PTFE patching (P = .07). After I month of follow-up, 2% of patients in the PTFE group had a 50% or more restenosis, versus 12% of patients in the HP group (P = .013). The mean operative time for PTFE patching was 119 minutes, versus 113 minutes for HP patching (P = .081). The mean hemostasis time was significantly higher for PTFE patching than for HP patching, 14.4 versus 3.4 minutes (P < .001).Conclusion: CEA with HT patching had a higher incidence of perioperative strokes, carotid thrombosis, and 50% or more early restenosis than CEA with PTFE patching. However, the mean hemostasis time was higher for PTFE patching than for HP patching.
