OBJECTIVE: To evaluate morbidity and mortality of carotid endarterectomy performed under regional cervical block, taking into account duration of surgery, use of shunt, conversion to general anesthesia, surgical complications, stay of patients inthe intensive care unit (ICU) and in the hospital, and patients' evolution over one year. METHODS: From June 1998 to January 2004, 67 operations were performed in 61 patients, with 70% or greater internal carotid stenosis, diagnosed by Doppler and confirmed by carotid angiography.
