Objective To summarize the experience in treating the elderly patients (≥75 years old) with carotid artery stenosis, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Methods The datum of 312 cases with carotid artery stenosis and underwent the CEA in the vascular surgery department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from October 2009 to October 2012 were retrospectively analized.The risk factors of the CEA in treating the elderly patients were analized, and the measures to prevent perioperative complications were discussed. Results Thirty-nine cases were brought into the research.The mean follow-up was (22.18±8.71) months.Thirty-three cases (84.6%) were male and 6 cases (15.4%) were female.The median age was 77 years old (75-82 years old).Eleven cases (28.2%) were with bilateral lesions, and 7 cases (17.9%) were asymptomatic.A total of 39 CEA procedures were successfully performed, 22 artificial vascular patches (56.4%) and 16 shunts (41.0%) were used.The mean average hospital stay was (17.38±5.39) days.One case showed cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome in 2th day after operation, another 1 case was found ipsilateral restenosis in 15th month after operation. Conclusion CEA is a safe and effective measure in treating the elderly patients with carotid artery stenosis, if the the indications of surgery is performed strictly.
