Meershoek AJA, et al. - In this single-center cohort study, the researchers characterized a consecutive series of patients with recurrent symptoms associated with near occlusion of the internal carotid artery with full collapse (RSNOFC) who underwent carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Seventeen consecutive patients with RSNOFC were treated according to the standardized multidisciplinary work-up and protocol and included for this investigation from 2008 to 2017. Findings suggested that CEA could be considered a potential treatment option for subjects with RSNOFC. Any potential risk might outbalance the natural course, although procedural risks in this small subgroup might be higher as compared to subjects with low-to-moderate risk anatomy.
