I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I was wondering if anyone has had carotid endarterectomy surgery following a Stroke?
There are lots of stats and info online and there is only so much consultants can advise upon , but patient stories, experiences, insights would be valuable if possible .
Posting my question here is key because the added ‘ risk’ to this surgery is increased if the patient has already had a stroke . The op is for Asymptomatic Carotid. Having suffered a Deep Stroke.
Hi & welcome to the community @Delphine83 hope you are progressing ok after your stroke.
I’m afraid I know little about that procedure. Although I had a stroke caused by my carotid artery it was a tear rather than it being blocked so no surgery was needed.
Hopefully someone will be along soon that can offer you some advice.
As you are looking for information from those who has already had a stroke, there is a good possibility you will get a good response to your post.
