Carotid Endarterectomy Surgery

Definition
"Carotid Endarectomy" is the name for surgical and other procedures that remove atherosclerotic plaque (fat and cholesterol buildup) from the walls of arteries in the neck. This procedure reduces the risk of stroke and certain types of fainting spells by restoring adequate blood flow to the brain.
