Comparison Between Different Techniques for Carotid Artery Endarterectomy

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgery to clear blockages from the carotid arteries in the neck. These arteries are crucial because they carry blood to your brain. When they are blocked, it can lead to a stroke, which is when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. This study is exploring two CEA techniques: conventional carotid endarterectomy (C-CEA) and eversion carotid endarterectomy (E-CEA). The goal is to find out which method is safer and more effective.

• The study involves 40 patients, divided into two groups of 20. Each group will receive one of the procedures.
• Participants should have significant carotid artery blockages and may have had a stroke or worsening symptoms.
• People with certain health conditions, like recent strokes or non-atherosclerotic artery issues, cannot participate.

By participating, you help researchers understand which method works better. This could improve treatments for future patients. If you're interested, make sure you meet the eligibility criteria. 🏥
