Eversion technique for carotid endarterectomy.

Since April 1991, we have used the eversion technique to perform carotid endarterectomy in 31 consecutive procedures. There were no operative deaths in the current series, and no neurologic complications have been observed. We believe this technique decreases the possibility of early and late restenosis and recommend it for patients requiring carotid endarterectomy.
