Carotid interventions with regional anesthesia (block)

Since my arrival in Greece in 2020, they are successfully performed by my team and me, carotid interventions with regional-local anesthesia.

Interventions are performed with the patient in full consciousness throughout the procedure , without the need to use neuromonitoring.

The now established method of regional anesthesia in this procedure allows the surgical group to closely monitor the patient's neurological function throughout the surgery and to quickly recognize intra -operative neurological consequences, directing immediately (by placing a transient and transmitter) . episode.

It also allows patients to mobilize immediately and get discharge after 24 - 48 hours, returning to their daily activities.

A great advantage of this method is also the fact that patients with serious concomitant diseases are not burdened with a total anesthesia.
