Understanding Carotid Endarterectomy

Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove plaque buildup from the carotid arteries, which are located in the neck and supply blood to the brain. This procedure is commonly recommended for individuals with carotid artery disease, a condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of these arteries due to plaque accumulation. By restoring proper blood flow to the brain, carotid endarterectomy aims to reduce the risk of stroke and other complications associated with carotid artery disease.

Benefits of Carotid Endarterectomy

• Reduced Stroke Risk: Decreases the likelihood of stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
• Improved Blood Flow: Enhances cognitive function and overall well-being by restoring proper blood flow to the brain.
• Prevention of Future Events: Reduces the risk of future cardiovascular events and complications.

Additional Information

During a carotid endarterectomy procedure, our vascular specialists carefully access the carotid artery through a small incision in the neck. The plaque buildup is then meticulously removed, restoring the artery’s normal diameter and blood flow. Following the procedure, patients typically experience improved symptoms and a reduced risk of stroke.
