The association between age and peroperative morbidity in carotid stenting cases

Abstract

Aim: Carotid artery stenosis is a geriatric population disease. It was considered that advanced age is related to increased peroperative morbidity and mortality during carotid stenting.

Material and Methods:The study population includes 106 patients who were treated with carotid stenting at Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital between January 2017 and August 2018 The aim of the study is to find the correlation between age and perioperative morbidity and mortality rates.  

Results: The group of patients below 55 years of age didn’t develop any morbidity except marked hypotension in 2 patients. Patients aged over 75 did not develop any hypotension and morbidity in this group is relatively high compared to patients below 55 years of age. Age group between 55 and 65 developed 1 aphasia, 1 homonymous hemianopia and 1 mortality. There were 1 dyspasia, 2 hemiparesis and 1 mortality in patients between 65 and 75 years of age. Morbidity over 75 years of age included 1 hemiparesis, 1 cranial nerve paresis and 1 mortality. No correlation was found between age groups except patients below 55 years of age. An increased morbidity and mortality rate was noted with advanced age though a statistical correlation can not be applied. Hypotension was noted to decrease with advanced age.

Conclusion: The risk of carotid stenting below 55 years of age is minimal except hypotension risk however perioperative morbidity and mortality is more pronounced with advanced age without any hypotension.

Karotis stentlemede yaş ve peroperatif morbidite İlişkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Karotid arter stenozu ileri yaş olgularda görülen bir hastalıktır. Karotid stenozu tedavisinde uygulanan karotis stentlemede peroperatif morbidite ve mortalitenin yaşa bağlı arttığı belirtilmektedir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada Ankara Numune Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde 2017 Ocak ve 2018 Ağustos tarihleri arasında karotis stentleme yapılan 106 olgu analiz edilmiş olup yaş ve risk faktörleri ile peroperatif morbidite ve mortalite ilişkisi araştırılmıştır.

Bulgular: 106 olgunun analiz edildiği bu çalışmada 55 yaş altı görülen olgularda 2 olguda görülen hipotansiyon dışında herhangi bir morbidite gözlenmemiştir. 75 yaş ve üzeri olgularda ise hipotansiyon görülmemiş olup 55 yaş altı gruba göre daha fazla morbidite mevcuttur. 55-65 yaş arası yer alan grupta ise 1 olguda afazi, 1 olguda sol homonim hemianopsi, 1 mortalite olmuştur. 65-75 yaş arası grupta ise 2 olguda kısmi parezi, 1 olguda disfazi gözlenmiş ve 1 olguda postoperatif eksitus olmuştur. 75 yaş üzeri grupta ise 1 olguda silik hemiparezi, 1 olguda kranial sinir parezisi ve gözlerde deviasyon görülmüş olup postoperatif dönemde nöbet görülen 1 olgu ise eksitus olmuştur. Yaş artışı ile birlikte peroperatif morbidite ve mortalite oranlarında artış olduğu oransal olarak görülse de anlamlı bir istatistiksel sonuç elde edilememektedir. Hipotansiyonun ise yaşla birlikte azaldığı görülmektedir.

Sonuç: 55 yaş altı karotis stentlemede risk minimal olup hipotansiyon oransal olarak fazla görülmekte, 75 yaş üzeri grupta da hipotansiyon görülmeyip komplikasyonlar artış göstermektedir.
