    Author: Beven EG.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 1975 Oct; 55(5):1111-24. PubMed ID: 1162549.
    Abstract:
    During the last 20 years carotid endarterectomy has become an important method of treatment for selected patients with arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease. Improvement in selection of patients for operation, in anesthetic management, and in surgical techniques has resulted in a decline in complications associated with the operation. The steps of the operation are described in detail. The causes, prevention, and treatment of the surgical complications are discussed.
