Reconstruction of the Carotid Bifurcation in Patients With Arterial Hypertension of 2-3 Degrees

In carotid stenting, a long, hollow tube (catheter) is threaded through the arteries to the narrowed carotid artery in the neck. A metal mesh tube (stent) is inserted into the vessel to serve as a scaffold that helps prevent the artery from narrowing again. The catheter and the filter - which catches any debris that may break off during the procedure - are removed.

"Carotid endarterectomy is a procedure to treat carotid artery disease. In carotid endarterectomy receive general anesthesia. Surgeon makes an incision along the front of your neck, opens your carotid artery and removes the plaques that are clogging artery. Then, surgeon repairs the artery with stitches or a patch made with a vein or artificial material (patch graft).~Sometimes surgeons may use another technique called eversion carotid endarterectomy. This involves cutting the carotid artery and turning it inside out, then removing the plaque. Surgeon then reattaches the artery."
