Carotid endarterectomy is a safe and effective procedure for preventing stroke. Many eligible patients are currently denied this surgery due to unfounded fears, despite evidence of excellent outcomes and low risks.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Cerebrovascular Disease

Background:

  • Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove plaque from the carotid arteries.
  • A low number of these procedures are performed, suggesting potential underutilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address concerns regarding the underperformance of carotid endarterectomy.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of carotid endarterectomy based on recent data.

Main Methods:

  • Review of global literature on carotid endarterectomy outcomes.
  • Analysis of recent surgical experience over the past 18 months.

Main Results:

  • Carotid endarterectomy demonstrates a very low morbidity and mortality rate.
  • The procedure yields excellent short-term and long-term results.

Conclusions:

  • Carotid endarterectomy is a safe and highly effective intervention.
  • Current practice may be denying beneficial treatment to eligible patients.
