Abstract
Late wound complications after CEA may be related to inflammatory reaction of the Dacron patch rather than infection. Infection should be excluded first. Reconstruction with vein is effective. However, debridement with sternomastoid and omohyoid muscle covering of the patch may be considered in high risk patients after exclusion of infection with regular follow-up.
