00:00Ever wondered how surgeons clear blocked arteries in the neck to prevent strokes?
00:04This life-saving procedure is called carotid endarterectomy.
00:09Here's how it's done.
00:10First, the patient is given anesthesia to keep them comfortable throughout the surgery.
00:15Then, the surgeon makes an incision along the side of the neck, exposing the carotid artery.
00:21The carotid artery is gently clamped to stop blood flow temporarily.
00:25Next, the surgeon carefully opens the artery to reveal a plaque buildup, which is causing the narrowing.
00:33Using precise tools, the surgeon scrapes away the plaque, removing the blockage.
00:38This helps restore healthy blood flow to the brain.
00:42Once the artery is clean, the surgeon stitches it back up,
00:46and sometimes a patch is placed to widen the artery and prevent future blockages.
00:50The incision is then closed, and the patient is monitored closely during recovery.
00:57In most cases, this procedure significantly reduces the risk of future strokes.
01:02And that's how carotid endarterectomy works,
01:04a small procedure with a huge impact on stroke prevention.
