Why Carotid Endarterectomy Is Needed

Performed to remove plaque buildup from inside the carotid artery, restoring normal blood flow to the brain and significantly reducing the risk of stroke in patients with significant carotid artery narrowing. It's especially recommended for patients who have already had a stroke or transient ischemic attack from carotid disease, or asymptomatic patients with severe narrowing at high stroke risk.

Signs You May Need Carotid Endarterectomy

Transient ischemic attacks, such as sudden weakness, numbness, slurred speech, or vision loss that resolve within minutes to hours, are key warning signs, as is an actual stroke. Many cases of significant carotid narrowing, however, are detected incidentally through a carotid ultrasound before any symptoms occur.

Types of Carotid Endarterectomy

The standard technique directly opens the artery, removes the plaque, and closes the vessel either primarily or with a patch to widen it and reduce future re-narrowing. An eversion technique, where the artery is turned inside out to remove plaque, is an alternative approach used by some surgeons for suitable anatomy.

Will I need medication after surgery?
