AIM: Compare the basic characteristics of patients and to examine the existence of higher rates of perioperative complications (0 - 30 days) in women versus men after carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
METHODS: This is a retrospective-prospective study included 270 patients with significant stenosis of carotid in whom CEA was performed, during the period from 2012 to 2017. Patients they were divided: group 1 - 100 female patients, group 2 - 170 male patients.
RESULTS: No statistically significant age difference was observed between the two groups, group 1 - 66.01 years (SD 8.42, 46 to 86 years), group 2 - 66.46 years (SD 8.03, 47 to 85 years) (p = 0.659). Risk factors represent a greater prevalence in group 2, but the observed difference is not statistically significant. The average duration of surgery and the time of carotid artery clamping time were longer in group 1: (p = 0.002; p = 0.005). The number of classic endarterectomy with the patch was higher in women (41 (41%) versus 31 (18. 2%), p = 0.005), while the number of bilateral CEAs was not statistically significant.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study of this study did not indicate a greater presence of perioperative complications (< 30 days) in women versus male patients after CEA.
