The hazards and safeguards of carotid endarterectomy are presented in a consecutive series of 130 patients over a fourteen month period. The mortality rate of 1.5 per cent was due to myocardial infarction. Two patients (1.5 per cent) suffered minor but permanent neurologic deficit. There was an incidence of 4.6 per cent transient neurologic deficits, all of which cleared within 24 hours. Special emphasis is placed on peripheral nerve injuries (12.3 per cent). Local neurologic anatomy is reviewed to facilitate safe dissection and an avoidance of nerve injury.
在为期14个月的时间里，对连续130例患者进行了颈动脉内膜切除术的风险及防护研究。死亡率为1.5%，死因是心肌梗死。两名患者（1.5%）出现轻微但永久性神经功能缺损。短暂性神经功能缺损的发生率为4.6%，所有这些缺损均在24小时内恢复。特别强调了周围神经损伤（12.3%）。回顾了局部神经解剖结构，以利于安全解剖并避免神经损伤。
