Abstract:
Based on standard carotid endarterectomy, we performed modified carotid endarterectomy in two cases of carotid artery stenosis by changing the direction of the carotid artery incision to avoid restenosis of the internal carotid artery without using a patch. The two patients recovered smoothly without any complications. Compared with eversion or patch endarterectomy, this modified carotid endarterectomy avoids restenosis of the carotid artery and shortens operation time.
