Abstract
Background. The studies relate carotid stenosis with certain risk factors such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and smoking.
Goals. To analyze the risk factors associated with this pathology in the patients who were operated from January 2013 to December 2017 at the Vascular Surgery Unit of the University Hospital 12 de Octubre.
Methods. A descriptive, retrospective, observational study in which the clinical histories of patients undergoing carotid stenosis are analyzed to identify the risk factors associated with this pathology.
Results. 161 patients were operated, with an average age of 72 years ± 9.68. 80% were men (n = 129) and 20% were women (n = 32). In 44.7% of the cases, it was between 70 and 80 years old. In this age range is also the highest percentage of symptomatic patients, corresponding to 55.3% (n = 89) of the total sample. Hypertension and dyslipidemia were the most prevalent factors. The previous symptomatology and hypertension have a significant relationship (p≤0,05), as well as being a smoker or ex-smoker and being a man.
