Prevention of disabling and fatal strokes by successful carotid endarterectomy in patients without recent neurological symptoms: randomised controlled trial. Among patients with substantial carotid artery narrowing but no recent neurological symptom (stroke or transient ischaemia), the balance of surgical risks and long-term benefits from carotid endarterectomy (CEA) was unclear.
<h3>What is
carotid endarterectomy?</h3>
A procedure used to treat carotid artery disease is carotid endarterectomy. One of the carotid arteries develops fatty, waxy deposits, which leads to this condition. On either side of your neck, there are blood channels called the carotid arteries (carotid arteries).
Your brain's blood flow may become restricted due to this plaque formation (atherosclerosis). Your carotid artery's blood flow can be improved, and removing the plaque that is causing the artery to narrow can lower your risk of stroke.
You may be given either a local or general anesthesia during a carotid endarterectomy. Your carotid artery is opened by your surgeon through an incision along the front of your neck, and the plaques obstructing your artery are removed. The artery is then repaired by your surgeon using stitches, a vein patch, or an artificial patch.
