In medicine, carotid endarterectomy, or CEA, is "excision of the thickened, atheromatous tunica intima of a carotid artery."[1]
Effectiveness
CEA can benefit patients with[2] and without[3] symptoms according to systematic reviews by the Cochrane Collaboration.
Preoperative assessment
The preoperative care includes assessment for coronary heart disease. In one study, 40% of patients had coronary heart disease, with 18% of the patients (or 48% of those with coronary heart disease) had severe disease (obstruction of the left main or three of the arteries).[4] The strongest predictor of coronary heart disease was the presence of diabetes mellitis.
