BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of various risk factors, excluding the type of closure of the arteriotomy, on the development of recurrent @entity543 after carotid endarterectomy. TYPE OF STUDY: single-center, open prospective. METHODS: Three hundred and eight @entity1 , who underwent a total of 338 carotid endarterectomies, were evaluated postoperatively with color duplex 1 month after the operation and every 6 months thereafter, the mean duration of follow-up being 52 months (range: 6-144). Only @entity1 submitted to primary closure of the arteriotomy were included. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kaplan Meier method, the log rank test and Cox regression analysis. RESULTS: Three @entity1 (0.9%) died during the perioperative period. Three (0.9%) @entity1 had a transient @entity63 attack and 7 (2.1%) a @entity64 . Recurrent @entity543 of >50% was identified in 11 @entity1 , leading to a 21.6% cumulative @entity256 rate at 10 years of follow-up. Only one of the 11 @entity1 with @entity256 developed @entity16 during the follow-up period. Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that @entity453 was significantly associated with @entity256 , while @entity1 with uniformly echogenic plaques as well as those with @entity1007 showed a lower incidence of @entity256 . CONCLUSIONS: The cumulative recurrent @entity850 rate following carotid endarterectomy was 21.6% at 10 years of follow-up. @entity256 was symptomatic in 1 @entity1 . @entity453 was associated with an increased risk of @entity256 , while uniformly echogenic plaques and @entity1007 were associated with a lower risk.
