Surgical procedure for removing an obstruction within the carotid artery, a major artery in the neck which carries oxygenated blood to the brain. Developed to prevent strokes but is found to be useful only in severe stenosis with TIA.
the operation to remove atheroma from a narrowed blood vessel in the neck (usually the internal carotid artery).
This operation removes a narrowing from the carotid artery in the neck, which carries blood to the brain. It aims to reduce the risk of strokes in the future.
The surgical removal of plaque that is blocking or reducing blood flow in a carotid artery.
A surgical procedure in which the fatty plaque causing the blockage of the carotid artery is removed.
a procedure in which a surgeon removes a blockage in a carotid artery
a procedure to remove plaque from the carotid arteries in the hopes of reducing stroke risk
a surgical procedure in which a doctor removes fatty deposits blocking one of the two carotid arteries, the main supply of blood for the brain
a surgical procedure in which a doctor removes fatty deposits from one of the two main arteries in the neck supplying blood to the brain
a surgical procedure in which the carotid artery is exposed and plaque is removed, thereby reducing the risk of a thrombus breaking off and interrupting blood flow to the brain
a surgical procedure which is undertaken to reduce the risk of stroke
a surgical procedure which re-tunnels the narrowed or blocked lumen (space within the blood vessel) of the carotid artery
Most common surgical procedure for carotid artery blockages; carotid artery is exposed, blood is shunted around blocked area, plaque is removed, artery is stitched shut.
Surgical removal of atherosclerotic plaque deposits from the carotid arteries.
A surgical procedure designed to clean out material blocking the carotid artery, a major artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain. The aim of the procedure is to restore normal blood flow to the brain, thereby preventing a stroke.
the surgical removal of plaque within the carotid artery
a surgical procedure to remove blockages from the inside of the carotid artery.
open surgery in the neck to clean out and remove a carotid plaque, thereby preventing a stroke.
A surgical technique for removing obstructions of the lower portion of the carotid artery.
Surgical removal of deposits in the walls of the carotid artery that, when present, have the effect of narrowing its lumen.
carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure designed to prevent strokes. Although there are some variations in the technique, in general, the artery is exposed through an incision in the side of the neck. The major branch coming into and going away from the area of narrowing are temporarily clamped, and the artery is opened. The material that is causing the narrowing, called atherosclerotic plaque is removed, and the vessel is sewn back together, and the clamps are removed.
An operation performed to clear the inside of the carotid artery of Atheroma
Endarterectomy (a surgical procedure designed to clean out material occluding an artery) done on the carotid artery (a major artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain) to restore normal blood flow through it to the brain and prevent a stroke.
An operation where the surgeon cleans out the fatty deposits in the artery in the front part of the neck that supplies blood to the brain.
Surgery used to remove fatty deposits from the carotid arteries.
A surgical procedure to remove plaque from a carotid artery.
A surgical procedure in which the carotid artery is opened and the accumulated plaque is removed to eliminate a source of stroke.
Carotid endarterectomy is the surgical removal of a blockage (such as plaque or a blood clot) from a carotid artery.
Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure used to correct carotid stenosis (narrowing of the carotid artery lumen by atheroma), used particularly when this causes medical problems, such as transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs, strokes). Endarterectomy is the removal of material on the inside (end-) of an artery. Angioplasty and stenting of the carotid artery are undergoing investigation as alternatives to carotid endarterectomy.
