A broad term for surgical procedures on the carotid arteries, performed to treat significant blockages from atherosclerotic plaque that raise stroke risk, or to repair carotid artery aneurysms, dissections, or other structural abnormalities. The specific procedure chosen depends on whether the underlying problem is a narrowing or a structural defect like an aneurysm.

Signs You May Need Carotid Surgery

Symptoms mirror the underlying carotid problem - transient ischemic attacks or stroke symptoms like sudden weakness, speech difficulty, or vision changes for blockages, or a pulsating neck mass and pain for aneurysms. Some conditions are detected incidentally via imaging done for unrelated reasons before symptoms develop.

Types of Carotid Surgery

Carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting are the two main techniques for blockages, while aneurysm repair may involve direct surgical repair or endovascular stent-graft placement depending on the aneurysm's location and shape. The choice of approach depends on the specific pathology, patient risk factors, and anatomy.
