Sammanfattning
To evaluate pre-, per-, and postoperative routines for Swedish patients undergoing carotid artery surgery questionnaires were sent to all 22 Swedish centres performing invasive carotid interventions. All centers responded to the questionnaire.
Large variations exist concerning pre-, per-, and postoperative routines, reflecting the lack of scientific consensus in many areas, like for example anaesthesia and surgical technique. Adjuvant medical therapy with platelet aggregation inhibitors and statins is offered to almost all patients, whereas the follow-up of compliance to and effects of such medication needs to be improved.
