In the present study, the purpose was to compare the postoperative early and mid-term results of Eversion Carotid Endarterectomy (ECEA) and Classical Carotid Endarterectomy (CCEA) techniques used in the surgical treatment of carotid artery disease. A total of 269 patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy (105 ECEA and 164 CCEA) were included in the study. The 1st, 6th, and 12th-month follow-ups of 266 patients were performed because three patients died in the early postoperative period. All patients were started on acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel, and statin treatment in the postoperative period. When the postoperative results were evaluated, it was found that the cross-clamp and operation times of the surgeries performed with the ECEA technique were shorter than the CCEA
at statistically significant levels (p=0.0002). Although there statistically significant differences were detected in terms of bleeding/drainage, need for reoperation because of bleeding, and restenosis, ECEA had more positive results than CCEA, and there were no statistically and proportionally significant differences between the two methods in terms of postoperative stroke and mortality. Considering the experience of the surgical team, the use of the ECEA technique has more positive results in terms of operation time and cross-clamp time compared to CCEA. We think that extending the follow-up periods of patients in the postoperative period and conducting multicenter studies with more patients would be more accurate in comparing these two methods.
