What is Carotid Artery Surgery?

Carotid artery surgery, also known as carotid endarterectomy, is a procedure to remove plaque buildup from the carotid arteries. These arteries are located on either side of the neck and are critical for supplying oxygen-rich blood to the brain. Blockages in these arteries can lead to transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or strokes, making timely treatment essential.

When is Carotid Artery Surgery Needed?

• • Severe Narrowing (Stenosis): When the carotid arteries are significantly blocked (usually 70% or more).
  • Symptomatic Patients: If you’ve experienced symptoms like sudden weakness, vision loss, or difficulty speaking.
  • Preventive Measure: For patients at high risk of stroke due to plaque buildup.

Our partner surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes, including minimally invasive options where appropriate.
