Article Abstract
Although some form of quality control assessment is standard practice following virtually all forms of peripheral vascular reconstruction, it is seldom applied to carotid endarterectomy. This is despite the fact that the complications following endarterectomy can be catastrophic, are often related to technical error and are not easily remedied. A number of novel quality control techniques are now available. This review article summarizes the application of these methods to ensuring optimal surgical practice in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.
