Carotid Endarterectomy

The Surgical Tech Student

What is a Carotid Endarterectomy? A carotid endarterectomy is a procedure where the surgeon makes an incision along the neck and opens up the carotid artery to remove plaque or other debris blocking the blood flow. Once the artery is clear of plaque the surgeon then repairs the artery with a patch that he cuts to size. The surgeon will probably test several times to make sure the patch is stitched in place properly and then will close.
