BACKGROUND: To investigate the results after carotid endarterectomy performed for asymptomatic @entity543 (ACS) in a single high-volume center and define the factors that increase perioperative @entity64 and mortality rate. METHODS: This observational study that analyzes prospectively collected data includes 1,567 @entity1 with ACS operated in the period between 2007 and 2012. RESULTS: Most @entity1 were male, 1,037 (66.18%), with mean age of 63.6 years. Perioperative @entity204 rate was 0.38%. The most frequent causes of @entity204 were @entity64 and @entity583 . The total perioperative @entity64 /transient @entity63 attack rate was 2.81%. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that females (P = 0.028) and @entity28 (P = 0.060) @entity1 have higher risk of perioperative @entity64 after surgical repair of ACS with odds ratio (OR) of 2.008 and 2.342. The early mortality was significantly higher in candidates for coroanary artery bypass grafting (P = 0.018). @entity64 and mortality are related to @entity28 and @entity741 with OR of 2.407 and 2.097, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: According to our results, female and @entity28 @entity1 are prone to @entity64 after carotid endarterectomy. Further study of the effects of female gender and @entity28 on surgical outcomes is warranted before medical therapy is considered the preferred treatment for these @entity1 .

Female and XXXX @entity1 might have higher risk from surgical repair of asymptomatic @entity543 .
