SPARSH Hospital offers advanced Carotid Endarterectomy in Bangalore, providing specialised vascular surgery to help reduce the risk of stroke in patients with significant carotid artery disease. Carotid Endarterectomy Surgery removes plaque build-up from the carotid artery, restoring healthy blood flow to the brain and lowering the likelihood of future cerebrovascular events.
Our multidisciplinary team of vascular surgeons, neurologists, cardiologists, and anaesthetists delivers personalised treatment using advanced imaging, modern surgical techniques, and comprehensive post-operative care. Early specialist evaluation is essential for patients diagnosed with carotid artery narrowing or those at increased risk of stroke.
Carotid Endarterectomy may be recommended for patients with significant narrowing of the carotid arteries, particularly when there is an increased risk of stroke. Surgery is considered after careful clinical assessment and diagnostic imaging.
It may be advised for patients with:
The decision to proceed with surgery is made only after a comprehensive vascular assessment and multidisciplinary specialist evaluation.
Before the Carotid Endarterectomy Procedure, patients undergo detailed investigations to determine the severity of carotid artery disease and evaluate their overall surgical fitness.
The assessment may include:
These investigations provide valuable information about blood flow, plaque severity, stroke risk, and general health, allowing the vascular team to recommend the most appropriate treatment strategy for each patient.
Carotid Endarterectomy Surgery is performed to remove fatty plaque deposits from the carotid artery and restore healthy blood flow to the brain. The operation is generally performed under general or regional anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition and the surgeon’s assessment.
During the procedure, a small incision is made in the neck to access the affected carotid artery. The artery is carefully opened, the plaque causing the narrowing is removed, and the artery is repaired to restore normal blood flow.
The vascular surgeon carefully removes the plaque responsible for narrowing the carotid artery while preserving the integrity of the blood vessel.
Once the plaque has been removed, the artery is repaired, allowing improved blood circulation to the brain and reducing the risk of future stroke.
Throughout the operation, specialised monitoring helps assess brain function, blood flow, and overall patient safety to support optimal surgical outcomes.
Following Carotid Endarterectomy, patients are closely monitored in the hospital to assess neurological function, blood pressure, and overall recovery. Most patients remain under observation before being discharged based on their clinical condition.
Recovery includes medication management, wound care, gradual return to normal activities, and follow-up imaging when required. Continued medical management and regular specialist reviews play an important role in reducing the long-term risk of stroke and maintaining vascular health.
Long-term success after Carotid Endarterectomy depends on maintaining healthy blood vessels and reducing cardiovascular risk factors. Patients are encouraged to control blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol, avoid smoking, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and take prescribed medications as directed.
Regular follow-up with vascular surgeons, neurologists, or cardiologists allows ongoing monitoring and supports continued stroke prevention.

Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes plaque from the carotid artery to improve blood flow to the brain and reduce the risk of stroke.
It is recommended for patients with significant carotid artery narrowing, particularly after a TIA, stroke, or when specialist evaluation identifies a high future stroke risk.
The procedure generally takes between one and three hours, depending on the patient’s anatomy, the severity of the blockage, and individual clinical considerations.
Potential risks include bleeding, infection, nerve injury, heart complications, stroke, or blood clots. Your surgical team carefully evaluates and manages these risks before and after surgery.
Many patients recover sufficiently to leave the hospital within a few days. Full recovery varies depending on overall health, healing, and adherence to follow-up care.
For appropriately selected patients, carotid endarterectomy can significantly reduce the risk of future stroke by improving blood flow through the affected carotid artery.
Consult a vascular surgeon if you have been diagnosed with carotid artery narrowing, have experienced a TIA or stroke, or possess significant cardiovascular risk factors requiring specialist evaluation.
