Trial Comparison of Accuseal and Bovine Pericardial Patch During Endarterectomy
Completed
Conditions studied: Coronary Stenosis
In brief
Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA), surgical removal of the blockage in the neck artery, is the accepted management of choice for significant blockage of the carotid artery. Previous studies showed improved perioperative outcomes and prevention of recurrent blockage by the use of the patch to close the surgical incision in the artery. The ideal patch reduces bleeding and prevents recurrent blockage.This is looking at long-term results toward improvement with the use Accuseal patch than Bovine Patch.
