Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for symptomatic carotid artery stenosis and intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) for acute ischemic stroke are proven therapies; however, the safety of CEA in stroke patients who recently received IV-tPA has not been established.
To evaluate the safety of CEA in stroke patients who recently received IV-tPA.
A retrospective review of patients who underwent CEA for symptomatic carotid artery stenosis was performed. The primary end point was postoperative symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). A univariate analysis of potential risk factors for sICH, including IV-tPA therapy, timing of CEA, degree of stenosis, and stroke severity, was performed. Factors with a value of P < .1 on univariate analysis were tested further.
Among 142 patients, 3 suffered sICH after CEA: 2 of 11 patients treated with IV-tPA (18.2%) and 1 of 131 patients not treated with IV-tPA (0.8%). Both IV-tPA patients suffering sICH underwent CEA within 3 days of tPA administration. On univariate analysis, IV-tPA (P = .02), female sex (P = .09), shorter time between ischemic event and CEA (P = .06), and lower mean arterial pressure during the first 48 hours of admission (P = .08) were identified as risk factors for sICH. On multivariate analysis, IV-tPA was the only significant risk factor (P = .002 by stepwise logistic regression; P = .03 by nominal logistic regression).
This study indicates that IV-tPA is an independent risk factor for sICH after CEA. This suggests that CEA should be pursued cautiously in patients who recently received IV-tPA. Early surgery may be associated with an increased risk for sICH.

对于有症状的颈动脉狭窄行颈动脉内膜切除术(CEA)以及对于急性缺血性卒中使用静脉注射组织型纤溶酶原激活剂(IV-tPA)都是已被证实的治疗方法;然而,在近期接受IV-tPA治疗的卒中患者中CEA的安全性尚未确立。
评估在近期接受IV-tPA治疗的卒中患者中CEA的安全性。
对因有症状的颈动脉狭窄而接受CEA的患者进行回顾性研究。主要终点是术后有症状性脑出血(sICH)。对sICH的潜在危险因素进行单因素分析,包括IV-tPA治疗、CEA的时机、狭窄程度和卒中严重程度。对单因素分析中P值<0.1的因素进行进一步检验。
在142例患者中,3例在CEA术后发生sICH:11例接受IV-tPA治疗的患者中有2例(18.2%),131例未接受IV-tPA治疗的患者中有1例(0.8%)。2例发生sICH的接受IV-tPA治疗的患者在给予tPA后3天内接受了CEA。单因素分析显示,IV-tPA(P = 0.02)、女性(P = 0.09)、缺血事件与CEA之间的时间较短(P = 0.06)以及入院后最初48小时内平均动脉压较低(P = 0.08)被确定为sICH的危险因素。多因素分析显示,IV-tPA是唯一显著的危险因素(逐步逻辑回归P = 0.002;名义逻辑回归P = 0.03)。
本研究表明IV-tPA是CEA术后发生sICH的独立危险因素。这表明在近期接受IV-tPA治疗的患者中应谨慎进行CEA。早期手术可能与sICH风险增加有关。
