Carotid Endarterectomy

Carotid Endarterectomy

Carotid Endarterectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove plaque buildup from the carotid arteries, the major blood vessels in the neck that supply oxygenated blood to the brain. This surgery is typically performed to reduce the risk of stroke in individuals with significant narrowing or blockage in these arteries due to atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by the accumulation of fatty deposits. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the neck to access the affected carotid artery. After opening the artery, the plaque is carefully removed, restoring proper blood flow to the brain. To prevent complications, the artery may be temporarily rerouted or blood flow maintained using a shunt while the plaque is being cleared. Carotid endarterectomy is often recommended for individuals who have experienced transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or strokes caused by carotid artery blockages. It aims to prevent future strokes by reducing the risk of plaque dislodgment and subsequent blockages that could impede blood flow to the brain. This surgery is generally considered safe and effective, but as with any procedure, there are risks involved, such as bleeding, infection, nerve injury, or stroke during or after the operation. Post-surgery care involves monitoring for complications and following a prescribed regimen for recovery, which often includes medications to manage blood pressure and cholesterol levels, alongside lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of further plaque buildup.
