Results are presented of a retrospective analysis of 651 carotid endarterectomies in 605 @entity1 with carotid territorial @entity63 ( @entity63 ). All operations were performed by the same surgeon in a community hospital from 1963 to 1986. Arteriographic findings consisted of carotid stenosis of 50% or greater in 88.5% of @entity1 and stenosis less than 50% and/or an ulcerated plaque in the remaining 11.5%. Medical risk factors were detected in 92% of @entity1 ; @entity101 , @entity1095 , and @entity453 were most prevalent. All operative procedures were conducted with the @entity1 under general anesthesia, routine shunting, and arterial closure without a patch. The perioperative @entity64 rate was 1.5% (10 @entity1 ); the morality rate was 0.8% (three @entity204 from @entity583 and two from @entity64 ) for a combined @entity64 and mortality rate of 2.0% (13 of 605 @entity1 ). Follow-up (mean 61.8 months) was possible in 570 (96%) of the @entity1 surviving operation without a perioperative @entity64 . The cumulative probability of late @entity64 (i.e., @entity385 ipsilateral to the operated artery) was 2.5% at 5 years and 8.1% at 10 years. When the perioperative @entity64 -mortality rate (2.0%) is combined with the data for late @entity64 , the 5- and 10-year probabilities of @entity64 were 4.5% and 9.9%, respectively (mean 1% per year for 10-year period). @entity453 accounted for 43% of late @entity204 and 16% of @entity64 . The perioperative @entity64 -mortality rate of 2.0% in this group of @entity1 falls within the acceptable range for carotid endarterectomy in @entity1 with @entity4905 .(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
