This book addresses multiple principles of carotid endarterectomy in terms of cervical anatomy, surgical techniques, practical cases and frequent questions stemming from clinical practice. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an effective way to the treatment of carotid artery stenosis, which significantly reduce the risk of stroke. This book covers the key concepts and common question in CEA. It is a practical book focusing on basic surgical technical techniques, but not covers controversial issues. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
