Patients with vascular disease undergoing surgery face increased perioperative risks, and those scheduled for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) represent a particularly vulnerable subgroup. This study aimed to (1) estimate the prevalence and identify predictors of adverse postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) under local/regional anesthesia (LA), and (2) compare these outcomes with those of general anesthesia (GA) where comparative data were available.
