| Abstract: | Carotid endarterectomy is a procedure that has withstood the test of time and scientific scrutiny to remain an important technique for the surgical prevention of stroke. Several aspects of this operation are critical for success, i.e., improving on the natural history of carotid artery stenosis. The procedure is described in a stepwise manner, with emphasis on key steps for avoiding thrombotic or embolic complications. |
