Carotid Endarterectomy
Case description
Carotid artery stenosis is a frequent cause of an ischemic stroke. To prevent this life-threatening complication a carotid endarterectomy is usually performed. To perform this procedure, local anaesthesia is commonly introduced, as it allows to control patient's neurological status. After anaesthesia and anticoagulants administration, the carotid artery is being temporarily closed. Then the carotid artery wall is incised and plaques are removed. The most important moments of this procedure are shown on the following video.
