Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgical procedure to remove fatty plaque from a narrowed carotid artery in the neck, with the goal of reducing the risk of a future stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). It is most commonly recommended for patients who have already experienced a TIA or minor stroke caused by significant carotid narrowing, and in selected patients with high-grade narrowing discovered incidentally on imaging. During the operation, a vascular surgeon makes an incision in the neck, opens the affected artery, carefully peels away the plaque, and closes the artery — typically using a patch to widen and smooth the repair. The procedure can be performed under general or regional (awake) anaesthesia, and most patients are discharged within one to two days. CEA has a well-established track record spanning more than seventy years and is endorsed by major international vascular and stroke societies as a cornerstone of stroke prevention in appropriately selected patients.
The standard approach — the carotid artery is opened lengthwise, plaque is removed, and a synthetic or vein patch is sewn in to close and widen the artery.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Carotid duplex ultrasound, CT angiography (CTA) of neck and head vessels, Brain MRI or CT, ECG (12-lead), 2D Echocardiography, CBC, LFT, KFT, coagulation profile (PT/INR), Fasting lipid panel and HbA1c. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $4,000 – $5,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~10 days recommended

The internal carotid artery is detached at its branch point, turned inside-out to peel out the plaque, and then reattached — avoiding the need for a patch.
