pubmed-article:14509886 | pubmed:abstractText | Scientific evidence exists to support the claim that either general o regional anesthesia can be safely used for CEA: each of the techniques has either theoretical and practical advantages or drawbacks. Since the issue of whether, for CEA, one anesthetic technique is better than another has not yet been explored by randomized trials, any contribution that could reduce the disadvantages of any of the two approaches may contribute to overcome individual diffidence and visceral antagonism. The proposed approach represents a technical improvement of locoregional CEA technique. | lld:pubmed |
