Abstract

A low percentage of perioperative complications and excellent long-term outcome following carotid artery surgery in Vascular Centers demonstrate the priority of surgical solutions in patients with significant findings on carotid arteries, in the prevention and treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular accidents. The group of patients from the Clinic of Surgery in Pilsen demonstrates the benefits of regional anesthesia during internal carotid artery surgery, both in terms of the patients' health and the financial costs incurred by the hospital.
