Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) is designed to improve blood flow through a narrowed carotid artery by surgically removing accumulated atherosclerotic plaque. It may be considered in patients with substantial carotid stenosis based on the degree of narrowing, symptoms, and overall stroke risk. During surgery, a temporary shunt may sometimes be used to maintain blood flow to the brain while the artery is opened. After the procedure, patients are monitored for neurological changes, blood pressure fluctuations, bleeding, and other potential complications.
