I had carotid endarterectomy surgery, I had a great surgeon. Life is completely normal after 3 weeks but I went to work within a week as long as it didn't pick up more than 10 lbs. Anybody that's concerned about being frightened yeah I got that I was nervous too but once I had the surgery I realized boy that wasn't so bad at all. Once they woke me up I feel like I wanted to go out and do my normal stuff but I had to be in the ER for at least 20 hours and then I was home. So for anybody having questions or doubts the surgery is very common and I suggest removing the plaque instead of having a stent.

I have had this artery surgery 3 times since 1986. I see my cardiologist every 6 months. Last surgery was in 2019. Again 3 surgeries on Right carotid. My left carotid is blocked 70 %, but my doctor they don't operate until 90-95% blocked.

Thank you for the great Video. Can I use the image on my blog that provides medical information? I'll reveal the source.

[kathiegemmell]

Very informative! I am facing an ultrasound tomorrow....

I have carotid stenosis caused by neck radiation for throat cancer 11 years ago.
Doc dosen't want to do surgery because of tissue damage I have already and I'm asymtomatic
and have been this way for some time. I agree with Surgeon because about 80% of folks like me have
a stroke while on operating table. 100% blockage on right side and 70-90 % left. I just
have a hard time finding info on this.

[Sarahyangtoronto]

I have a question, is angiography absolutely necessary before surgery?

[TheDoctorife]

Please Also makes videos on pharmacology

[shilohmiller]

I have this condition. One side of my neck is 100% blocked. I also went blind on that side. No one has mentioned surgery but I go in yearly for an ultrasound. I pray the stroke will take me out so I dont have to learn how to do the easiest things over again.
