Carotid Endarterectomy Surgery
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgical procedure performed to remove plaque buildup from the carotid arteries, which are the main blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. Plaque accumulation in these arteries can lead to a condition known as carotid artery disease or carotid stenosis, where the flow of blood to the brain is restricted, increasing the risk of stroke.
