AIM OF THE STUDYTo assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a modified surgical technique with early clamping of the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) during carotid endarterectomy in a single centre experience.STUDY DESIGNRetrospective study, teaching hospital.MATERIAL AND METHODSBetween 1996 and 2002, 2235 CEAs were performed. Until April 1999, the intra-operative strategy consisted of standard isolation and dissection of the carotid bifurcation preliminary to ICA clamping (group 1; 1090 interventions). Starting from May 1999, we performed early isolation and clamping of the distal ICA, followed by dissection of the carotid bifurcation and clamping of the external and common carotid artery (group 2; 1145 interventions).RESULTSThe modified technique was feasible in all the patients of group 2. In group 2 there was a significantly lower incidence of neurological deficit on waking than in group 1 (0.4% and 1.8%, respectively; p=0.02).CONCLUSIONSEarly distal control of the internal carotid artery during CEA is feasible and could contribute to reducing intra-operative neurological events.
