Abstract
Carotid endarterectomy was introduced into clinical practice only in the middle of the last century. However, this intervention has gained a very strong position in the arsenal of vascular surgeons, which is performed in every third case among all operations performed on arterial vessels. This literature review examines the history of the development of carotid endarterectomy methods, technical features and advantages of performing its classical and eversion methods, the relevance and effectiveness of this method of surgical treatment. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the results associated with perioperative and postoperative complications.
Keywords: carotid endarterectomy, internal carotid artery, common carotid artery, carotid bifurcation, stroke.
