Use of protamine for anticoagulation during carotid endarterectomy: a meta-analysis.
The researchers reviewed the evidence for and against protamine use at the conclusion of carotid endarterectomy (CEA), both in its association with increased thrombotic complications and with decreased bleeding. They concluded that based on available evidence, the use of protamine following CEA is associated with a reduction in bleeding complications, without increasing major thrombotic outcomes, including stroke, myocardial infarction, or death.
